But due to Mr. Dins- more's constant efforts a team of twenty-one was organized. After a prolonged period of conditioning, an exhibition game was arranged with St. Thomas Collegiate. This game proved very successful in help- ing the inexperienced members of the team to get their bear- ings, although South came out on the short end of a 6-1 score. In the first game of the season South made a good showing against the formidable Central line-up. The teams seemed very evenly matched until the third quarter, when Central launched a series of 42 line bucks which shattered the lighter South line. The score was 6-0. Due to several injuries in her personnel sustained during the Central game the South team was severely crippled for the second game against Sar- nia, and took another beating to the tune of 10-0. After these two losses, South's Senior Rugby chances looked very black. But at this time two of last year's regular middles returned. Two Weeks of strenuous practice added to this produced a very much strengthened team, and they won the return game against Central 13-7. South exhibited, as a result of expert coaching mixed with the old South do or die spirit, the best kind of W.O.S.S.A. rugby. This win brought South to a tie with Central for the City Cham- pionship. In the next game in Sarnia South experienced a reverse in form and lost by an overwhelm- ing score of 9-0, giving to Sarnia the group title. After the game a tea-dance was held for the South players and fans. Many were unable to attend, but the few that stayed en- joyed themselves immensely, and wish to thank Sarnia Col- legiate for an enjoyable evening. DECIDING GAME HOTLY CUNTESTED The last game of the season for the City Championship against Central was held in the University Stadium on Remem- brance Day. Again South went down, but fighting, to a loss of 7-2. After a sudden touch-down by Central in the opening minutes of the game, the two teams were fairly well matched. The team and the school sin- cerely congratulate our tradi- tional Central rivals in their first win of the McHale trophy for some years. -Don Filmore, VB. SUUTH PLAYERS 0N LINKS K. KEENE AND I. INNES WIN TITLES The inaugural competition in the first secondary schools tournament was held on Sep- tember 15, 1936, at Thames Valley Golf Course. The ninety- five entrants teed off in a driv- ing rain which lasted the better part of the morning. The Senior competition, for boys seventeen and older, was won by Ken Keene. His total score of 83 was secured by four pars and three birdies. The prize was a shield donated by Mr. H. B. Beal of the London Technical and Commercial School. Ian Innes carried off the Junior Boys' championship. Consistent playing, along with seven pars, gave him a score exactly equalling that of the winner of the Senior group. Ian also received a shield donated by Mr. Beal. As well as the main events, there were classes for every age group from 13 to 17. Bud Cole won a steel-shafted iron in the 13-year-old group with a score of 92. Jack Carpenter, another great golfer, won another steel-shafted iron with an 84. The tournament was handled by Mr. Innes, the pro of the city course, and Mr. B. S. Scott of the Technical School. Teach- ers from the various schools assisted. The majority of the foursomes were accompanied by a teacher or an adult with enough persuasive powers to see that the rules were kept. The tournament was a big success as far as South's students were concerned, as they Won four prizes.

Southern Times W. O. S. S. H. at Little Memorial Stadium MURGAN PLACES IN DISCUS The fifteenth annual W. O.S. S. A. Track and Field Meet was held last 24th of May, with almost perfect weather prevail- ing, at the Little Stadium, University of Western Ontario. Track interest at South in- the creased, perhaps due to coming Olympic Games in Berlin. Morgan, entered in intermediate discus, scored the the only points 'for South, placing third, with a throw of about a hundred feet. Moulden, also an intermediate, ran first in his heat of the 120-yard low hurdles. On Labour Day, South's team won second place in the half- mile collegiate relay, run at the Queen's Park track. The mem- bers were: Frith, Moulden, Woolley and Hart. The Southwestern Branch of the A. A. U. is making arrange- ments to hold a track and field meet before the next W. 0. S. S. A. competition in the coming spring. A reorganization of the Inter-Collegiate Field Day would also help to promote track interest in London. The members of last year's team, coached by Mr. Dinsmore, were: Senior, Jack Kennedy: Intermediate, Ross Mclntyre, Alex Hofstetter, Bob Morgan, Abe Frith, Bert Buchanan and Alf Moulden. -Bev. Hart. INAUGURAL TEA DANCE We first heard from the election platform- There will be a Tea Dance no matter who is elected. This promise was fulfilled on November 9, after the rugby game between South and Cen- tral. The day before we had heard such rumours as: Danc- ing from six to eight - No eatsll' Just sounds like some- thing the boys would do! But the Girls' Athletic, efficient as usual, came to the rescue and offered to sell hot dogs and ginger ale. The boys produced the or- chestra, and the only criticism we have to offer is that it stopped too soon. The gym was quite crowdedg even the First Year, who are usually conspicuous by their absence, came in large numbers. The dance was such a huge success that we are sure it will not be the last of its kind. Congratulations, boys! -Dorothy Johns. SIIATING PARTY POPULAR The skating party which was held at the London Arena was a big success. It seems to be the only party of the year where the girls do not suffer from sore feet. A good time was had by all to the strains of the Merry Widow and Skaters' waltzes. Let's hope the custom is continued this year! Hueston News Photo JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM Back Row-fLeft to rightl-J.

ALUMNI AND SIIUTH High school spirit still pre- vails among the former stu- dents of South, even though they now have new colleges to cheer for. Those who have just left might be expected to have a soft spot in their hearts for their recent Alma Mater, but they are not one step ahead of the older ex-students. Not long ago a rugby game was played on the Western campus between Central and Beck. Among the spectators was a student who had left South three years ago, and another who had graduated six years ago. Their jubilation when that last touchdown was made, to break the tie and win the game for South, would have been a surprise even to those who are now attending South. A feeling of affection and real interest in the activities of South is cherished by her former students who, one and all, Wish South the best of luck in all her undertakings. Barbara Govan. BDYS' TENNIS LATE Due to a heavy programme this spring it was decided to hold the annual tennis tourna- ment in the fall. The rugby season combined with the cold weather to chill the interest of the contestants. The boys' singles and doubles were not completed. Nevertheless, the junior boys were undaunted, and finished their section in good time. In the final round Jack Higgins was victorious over Stewart Buchanan by scores of 6-l, 6-3. Perhaps next year the interest of the stu- dent body will be great enough to again make a success of this competition. -K. Jolley, IVA PIISTIIRE Oh dear, oh dear! the banker groans, His hand upon his chest, Pm getting sick and tired of This indigestion pest. If he could only see himself When walking down the street- A His shoulders slumped, his chest caved in, His eyes glued on his feet. He then would fully realize The cause of all his pain, And through this illustration Perhaps you'll do the same. -Audrey Russell, III B. 41

Southern Times Juniors Win City Series ANDERSON TROPHY STAYS AT SOUTH When the rugby season once more came around there was a possibility that thirteen of last year's championship players would return and once more don the garnet and gray uni- forms. With this experience behind the team it seemed that the chances for repeating the feat of 1935 were great. How- ever, when the facts were known it was learned that there were just six of the regulars of the previous team. Mr. Freeman certainly deserves a lot of credit for carving out of the available green material the keen co-operative squad which represented South this season. The first game of the city series was played at Beck, where our boys, lacking the experience of playing against keen opposition before spec- tators, were defeated by a 4-1 score. When the team had col- lected itself it made a des- perate 95-yard march down the field but the final whistle blew with South in possession on Beck's 15-yard line. In the second game South defeated Central handily on our own field 7-0. Continued from Page 36. col. 3 The extra-curricular activ- ities of Queen's cover an exceedingly large field. There are opportunities for every type of individual to pursue the activities in which he is most interested. The facilities for athletics are most complete. There is a large gymnasium. which contains one of the finest tiled pools in Canada, as well as two gyms' for basketball, badminton and volley-ball. The Richardson Stadium, built for the university by Mr. J. M. Richardson, includes the rugby field, bleachers, and the fully equipped dressing - rooms. Queen's also owns the Jack Hartry Arena, where all the hockey games and ice functions are held. In closing may I say on behalf of Tremaine and Miller Continued on page 49, col. l The next game was very keenly contested. However, South emerged victorious with the closest score possible, 1-O. The third game was undoubt- edly the hardest game of the season and, although South was ahead 3-1, Central was pressing hard and threatening danger- ously to score in the last quarter. In the last game between Central and Beck, Central won and gave us undisputably first place and also the city cham- pionship. --R. V. Mclntyre, VB. WUODSTDCK SERIES After winning the city series with the loss of only one game, the South Junior squad played against Woodstock C. I. In this game our Juniors managed to pile up a lead of four points, winning 10-6. ln the return game the team did not fare so well. Although they played good, sound rugby, they were defeated 15-4, Woodstock tak- in the round 21-14. The team missed the services of Tom Woolley and Bill Ticknor. Ross Mclntyre's playing was out- standing for South. Quarter- back Alf. Moulden kicked a beautiful placement as well as turning in a good game at quarter. Congratulations to Mr. Freeman and his juniors for their fine season. We wish them good luck next year. Members of the team were as follows: Coach, Mr. Free- mang halves, R. Mclntyre fcap- tainy, L. Ramer ivice-captainl. T. Woolley, flying wing, R. Law, quarter, A. Mouldeng snap, C. Parsons, insides, B. Darling, D. Maidens, middles, B. Tichnor, G. Tufiing ends, R. Brown, H. Dixon, alternates, C.

RUGBY'S FINAL WHIRL Last year we had even more enthusiasm about the Rugby dance than we have ever had, perhaps because the rugby heroes distinguished themselves so greatly. For Weeks before this much anticipated night echoes sounded throughout the cor- ridors, from the fair sex: What are you wearing? from the boys, Whom are you tak- ing '? At last December 21 and the Rugby Dance came. The setting of the gym- nasium was very attractive. Two rows of coloured balloons stretched the length of the roomg comfortable chairs and softly shaded lights around the walls completed the furnish- ings. The music, provided by Elmo Johnston, was very good. The dance was brought to a close at 11.30 by the strains of God Save the King and the added accompaniment of popping balloons. Congratulations to the Boys' Athletic Association for the success of their evening. JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM Hueston News Photo Back Row-fLeft to Rightj-D. Westman lManagerl. G- Tllffm. J- P0nSf0rd, M.
