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.
