Last fall in Toronto at the Annual Track and Feld Meet for the Second¬ ary Schools of the Province, Wilfred MacArthur represented our school. In competition with the best athletes of Ontario, Wilfred showed his pole- vault prowess by defeating all the other contestants, clearing a height of IF 6”. Here ' s hoping that our Ontario champion will soon be a Dominion Olympic winner. Field Day It was a glorious day for our school because, in spite of the fact that we did not actually win the shield, we gave the other schools a run which they will not forget. In preparation for this event the girls of the Technical School were coached by Miss Beasley and Miss Connerty, while Messrs. Wood and McGrath had charge of the boys. The athletes showed great promise and it certainly looked bright when, on the event of the Technical School Field Day nine previous high school records were beaten. Excellent weather conditions favoured the advent of the Inter- High School Field Day at Stodgell Park and good athletics were wit¬ nessed by a record crowd. Five schools entered the contest; (1) Sandwich Continuation School; (2) Assumption College; (3) Wind¬ sor Collegiate; (4) Walkerville Col¬ legiate and (5) our own School. The points were awarded as follows: Windsor Collegiate 110; Tech 103; Walkerville 69; Assumption 25; Sandwich 7. Our girl athletes are to be con¬ gratulated on their success in their

In King; and Mc¬ Arthur the school had two of the best guards in the group. Its for¬ ward line composed of J. Goldman, Gillette and Maisonville proved ex¬ ceptionally good. Its reserves, L. ; Goldman, Vie, Blackton, Bullard and Hull helped the team in its quest for a group title. Coach F. McGrath was helped by Cap. Don King, to guide the des¬ tinies of the teams. The team played a total of eleven games, winning seven of these. SOCCER Tech enters a Soccer Team each year in the Senior WOSSA contest. We have not met with signal suc¬ cess in this sport up to the present but we have at least done very creditably, having been opposed for the past two years to the well-or¬ ganized Walkerville WOSSA cham¬ pionship team. Soccer in the past has not interested Windsor greatly, but is gradually gaining consider¬ able favor. This is so in the school, and each year, an increasing num¬ ber are entering the soccer field. Soccer is an excellent game for training in team work and in sports¬ manship, and we expect to see it develop much in the near future. i ✓ 36

Vivian Howe of ClI). won the Junior Girls’ Interscholastic Championship, and the excellent in¬ dividual work of each member of the team gave us a most satisfactory score. A new event, the Running High Jump was introduced this year, and although we did not secure a place in the Senior competition, in the Junior we won both first and third. -o- RUGBY Rugby is essentially a game of contact and of fierce contest, where timidity has no place. At the same time the demand for fair play and self control is ever present and under very trying circumstances. Rugby is not only a game, it is an education. John Parent was selected to cap¬ tain the team by popular vote. By his teeth-gritting attacks and stone wall defense “Beanie” proved an exemplary leader. The attack was planned and many times executed by J. Goldman as (|uarter. Goldie was a glutton for punishment. • In the position of flying wing Moore delivered all the action that position called for. When “Rosie” was not giving interference he was busily breaking up the other teams’ plays before they were under way The wing positions demanding such a high degree of agility, speed and open field tackling were well taken care of by Simpson. Langlois and J. Mason. The back bone of a team, the line whose work is never spectacular but • nevertheless greatly appreciated when resisting one of those “We want a touch down” appeals, was composed of Tobin. Zade, Campbell. Laforet and Morneau with Robert¬ son at centre. The action pitures show Robertson demonstrating that phrase. “They shall not pass.” The handling of punts by our safety backs, Payne, Anderson and Windecker stands out as a decided credit to those players. 38
