THE MUSE sented the school at the Board of Education Games at Exhibition Park. and in a field of 15 runners the Malvern M placed second, Quartermain. and third, Morgan. The event was won by the peren- nial champion, Elliott, of Central Tech, who was forced to a new record by the Malvern boys in their closing challenge. Morgan pro- vided the biggest thrill for Malvernites when he judged a beautiful race in the mile run at Varsity Stadium. He held back in the early stages and then closed in on the leader in an amazing gun-lap sprint. which only failed by inches to win for him the Toronto and District Championship. In competition with all Secondary Schools in Toronto Malvern scored more points than ever before, although the total consisted of seconds and thirds only. However. the team gave promise of steady improvement, and in 1932 we expect several individual titles in addi- tion to a greatly increased point total. The following boys who qualified for the Malvern Cl. Track Team by placing first or second in the local meet represented Malvern in the Ontario Athletic Commission meet at the University of Toronto Stadium. and in the Board of Education meet at Exhibition Park: William Wareham, Hubert Lawson, Ray Robson. Cyril Quarter- main. Hilliard Morgan. Robert Andres, Frank Rook, Robert Milne. Ernest McWilliams. lan MacMillan. Alex. Garvin. A. Hudson. Jack Wilson. Keith Warner. Harold Amey. Robert Crapper. Harry Turner. Gordon Lowry. Mr. Crozier. of the moderns department. was the coach of the team. u -J. K. C. SHOOTING N the season of 1930-31 Malvern had two fine rifle teams. Most of the credit is due to Mr. Lucas and to Mr. Blakeley, who coached the teams. Although a number of medals were won by some of the individual members of the team. Malvern did not win any championship. ln the Mason Trophy Competition. Malvern was not very successful. Harry MacArthur won the Strathcona Medal in his competition. The following won medals in the Dominion of Canada Rifie Asso- ciation competition: Special Ciass-Harry MacArthur for first prize. The remaining won medals for over ninety per cent.-H. Gillis. K. O'Brien, J. Wilson. S. Hutchings. D. Pike, H. Galster, C. Horne, F. Botsford. R. Grant, D. Milner. G. Downer and Jack Standing. We also entered in the Dominion Marksmen Shoot. Many boys won badges. both bronze and silver. This year instead of a Junior and Senior team we are only having one team. Mr. Blakeley will again direct us. The team will contest for some cups which will add to the enthusiasm of the team. I wish all the members of the team luck for the coming year, and may I be the first to congratulate the winner of the cup. -JACK B. STANDING. E67 l

i TgH E' U gg g gig H wr HOCKEY Our Senior Hockey Team certainly did not finish in first place this year: hut there was no sign of quitting shown. They fought every game until the last bell just as if it meant a championship. The boys were just as jubilant over their tirst goal scored as Jarvis ever felt in winning tl'e league title. That's Malvern spirit and that's what makes champions later on. We hope to see better luck next year. The Junior Team has qualified for the finals which have yet to he played. We wish them the best of luck. -BOB PORTER. TRACK AND FIELD Senior Champion ........................... William Wareham Intermediate Champion ..... ....... . Hubert Lawson Junior Champion ............. ..............., R ay Robson Mile Champion .............................. Cyril Quartermain T the annual field-day of Malvern Collegiate Institute in 1931 much promising athletic material was discovered. The interest in this particular branch of sport has been steadily increasing, and last year Malvern boasted the largest track team in her history. The local meet was featured by a brilliant display of sprinting by William Wareham and Frank Rook, veteran members of the team, who captured all the sprint events in the senior and intermediate classes respectively. Both boys have been prominent in city and pro- vincial championships for some years, and were the heavy scorers for Malvern in outside competition. Hubert Lawson displayed surprising strength in the jumps. making a clean sweep of the field events in his class, and thus winning the intermediate silver trophy. Ray Robson defeated a large number of contestants in the junior class by showing the greatest individual versatility of any member of the team. He won the junior title by virtue of first or seconds in practically every event on the programme. Robson's specialty is the running high jump in which he has attained a height of 5' Z . R. Andres, a recent addition to the team from Chicago. smashed the record for the shot-put with a splendid put of over 41 feet. In the Ontario Athletic Commission Meet for the Toronto and District Championship at Varsity Stadium Andres broke the Toronto record but was in turn defeated by a very narrow margin. He had the same experience in the Ontario Championships. again breaking the record only to lose first place. We expect lVIalvern will win its first Ontario title in the 19232 meet in this event if Andres continues to improve. The best event of' the local field-day was the mile run, which was bitterly contested by C. Quartermain and H. lVIorgan, who easily out- diftanced a splendid field to stage a thrilling last-lap sprint for the tape, Quartcrmain winning by a narrow margin. Both runners repre- ftztsj
