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.

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.

Southern Times SUUTH LUSES CITY TRUPHY T0 CENTRAL SENIURS OUTSCORED The Senior Basketball team of last year was not successful in achieving for Mr. Freeman and South that cherished piece of silverware which represents the City Championship. Unfor- tunately one of the hopes of the squad failed to get the academic standing required. In spite of this it was only with the greatest difficulty that we were nosed out by our tradi- tional rivals, Central. The Seniors played the first game of the season at Tech and in the last quarter they staged a recovery to win the game, 21-18. The next, played on our own floor, proved to be a 27-15 win against Central. Another game with Beck re- sulted in a 16-13 win. When Tech played their return game they also were defeated, 29-19. Our squad then added to their credit another victory by de- feating Beck 26-14. The final game was scheduled against Central and was undoubtedly the most closely contested one in years. When the final whistle blew the score was a tie, but in the overtime Central man- aged to score another basket to win the game, 29-27. Since both Central and South had lost only one game, both schools were tied for first place. A home-and-home play- off series was to determine the victor. On our floor Central took a 23-19 win, and, although we managed to win the return game 12-11, C'entral's lead of three points gave them the trophy. The line-up was: Right for- ward, Kennedyg centre, Steeleg left forward, Dick White, left guard, Chapman fCaptain 3, right guard, Filmoreg subs, Jolley, Treinaine. -R. McIntyre, VB SOUTH DRIBBLERS G0 TRUCKIN' On Friday, April 24th, the basketball season was brought to a close by a game between the South boys and the ex-students. After the game an informal dance was held, with Elmo Johnston and his band supply- ing the music. This is one of the otustanding social func- tions of the year because it affords the students of our school an opportunity of meet- ing some of the graduates. Needless to say we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Hueston News Photo SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM lLeft to Rightl-A. M. Freeman fCoachl, R. White, H. Steeles, J. Kennedy, R. Chapman lCaptainJ, D.

IUNIURS PUT UP 6000 FIGHT Not one regular from the previous year's City Champion- ship Junior Basketball Team was left last winter, and Coach Freeman was faced with the diflicult task of building up an entirely new squad. Although they did not succeed in win- ning the City Championship, the Juniors played excellent basketball, and fought every game. The squad was as fol- lows: Left forward, Abe Frith CCaptain39 right forward, George Marting centre, Mart Grayg left guard, Ross McIn- tyreg subs, C. Dunn, J. Walker, J. Oram, B. Darling, R. Brown and C. Hoare. In the series with Beck our Juniors won on the Beck fioor and at home with a comfort- able lead in both games. The most exciting series was with Central. In the game away from home, two over- time sessions were necessary before our team was nosed out by the narrow margin of two points. The return game was eust as close, although Cent emerged with a four-point lead. When they played Tech, our Juniors faced a squad that was exactly the same as the pre- vious year. They lost both games to the more experienc Tech team to give the latter the City Championship. SCHUUL DAZE C. Hoare, VA. Now see, be swift, come on boys, Thatls all we ever hearg Why don't they give us some- thing new, And spread a little cheer. Each day in solemn line we march At the ringing of the bells, And, herded into stalls we sit Like jailbirds in their cells. Just think, we're even NUM- BERED, From one to thirty-three- I soon expect to find myself Amongst the Rogue's Gall'ry! And after harsh rebukes de- nounce The failures to report, We rise, and plod our weary way, With nary a retort. But courage, comrades, courage, A remedy's in sight- A cheer for all our gloomy days- The football game tonight!
