M. H. S. REVIEW Page Forty-Three HOCKEY The Hockey fans of Midland High School met at the beginning of the new year to elect their 1928 hockey executive with the following results : President-Henry Boyer. Vice-President-Meb. Ralph. Secretary-Treasurer-Burwell Hunter 1Manager.j MIDLAND VS. ORILLIA Under Hunter's management a well-balanced hockey team was round- ed into shape, and on February 4th, they invaded Orillia's domain. The game called for 10 o'clock, started at 10:30, in which Orillia introduced a new brand of hockey in which, get your man seemed to be the main feature. The game was a very poor brand of the winter sport, and the Midland boys, being smaller and lighter could not rough it with their heavier opponents, with O.H.A. experience, as they represented the Orillia O.H..51.. Junior team, and so the game ended 3-0 for Orillia. On the Midland team Ralph, Hill, and Silverthorne played a snappy game, while Tremblay and DeFinney proved to be almost impregnable. Jory, in the net played his usual good game, for the M.H.S. speedsters and the subs MacLennan and Wallace, also looked good when on the ice. PENETANG HIGH SCHOOL VS. MIDLAND HIGH SCHOOL On February 7th, the Penetang High School hockey team journeyed to Midland to test their mettle with the Midland High School Hickory Wizards. The game started in a drizzling rain, which before the end of the game slowed the speedsters up somewhat, because of the heavy go- ing but the game did not lack thrills, nor did it slow up the Penetang Maroons enough to stop them from testing their lumber on their op- ponents' shins. The Penetang players produced a good game of hockey, and made it interesting until about the last fifteen minutes, when the pace began to tell on them, and they began to play open. Hill took advantage of the pause and slipped the puck by the Penetang net-guardian, not satisfied with himself, he soon followed with a duplicate. Bill King looking on with an envious eye, decided to try his luck, and made a fine rush, which ended with the puck nesting in the corner of the net. Penetang seem- ed to come out of the trance, but alas ! it was too late. DeFinney had decided to try King's tactics, which met with success, and the game ended with M.H.S. on the long end of the score of 4-0. Ralph and Boyer, the star players seemed contented to let others run up the score, and by close checking kept the Penetang puck chasers from passing centre ice. Sil- verthorne showed that the subs were as good as the regulars and Jory and Shanacy both turned in a very creditable game in the net.

Page Forty-Four M. H. S. REVIEW BASEBALL As soon as the snow disappeared from the ground last Spring, the Midland High School boys got the baseball fever and at once a meeting was held in which all those interested in the sport, attended. It was easily seen that the M.H.S. could field a X very snappy team and immediately 59. the team was organized. Four games were played with Penetang High School and the M.H.S. were success- ful in all but one, losing the last game by a single run. The Midland High School will ef? again be able to trot out the same line-up this Spring and it is to be hoped that they will have as much success this year as last. 5'.T..,..-.. The line-up was as follows : Centre-ileld-R. McCanncll. Left-field-B. Hunter. Right-field-G. Gray. Short-stop-J. Jory. First-base-L. Grise. Second-base-M. Tremblay. Third-base-A. Hill. Catcher-M. Ralph. Pitcher-OH. Boyer. RUGBY The 1927 football season of the Midland High School opened with a bang, but ended with a very sickening thud. Owing to most of the gridders being on the champion track team, the M.H.S. were late in getting the much needed practice and as a consequence, their first game With the Penetang Maroons, resulted in a win for the P.H.S. The Old Gold, Blue and White fought gamely against a team of real good football stars but not once did they have the edge on the Maroons. However, next year is another year, so 'lWatch out Penetang I The regular line-up was : Snap-Shanacy and McKenzie. Insides-Marsh and Scarlett. Middles-Brown and Playfair. Outsides-Gregoire and Hill. Flying Wings---Ralph and King. Quarter-DeFinney. Half Backs-Grise and Fair.
