34 THE NORTHLAND ECHO Senior Rugby- With difficulty due to war conditions, prac- tices got under way for Senior Rugby but Coach Frank Psutka rallied ten players to die fight- ing under the standards of the Green and White. Reinforcements were sought from Junior ranks and the Juniors suffered. In pre-season training the team went down against the batterings of the Grads in two en- counters. On October S the battle started. Collegiate came home victorious-score Collegiate 10, Scollard 2. The touch-downs were scored by Guenette and Brousseau, a hard-hitting tackl- er. Pelletier was our plunger and showed excel- lent playing-power. Brousseau made a lovely tackle, picked up the loose ball and ran for his touch-down. Vic Boyer scored the 2 College points. The next game was played at Sturgeon Falls where the score was Sturgeon 6, Collegiate 6. The Collegiate were without the services of Rene Pelletier. The outstanding event was the lovely 40 yd. forward pass Guenette passed to Ken Frair who ran for a touch. Pestolis scored the 6 pts. for Sturgeon. Trick plays were employed for October 23's game and the Collegiate defeated Scollard Hall 29-7 with two touch-downs by Pelletier and one each by Guenette, Jennings and Mitchell. Chirico converted for four points. Pelletier was the main driving force of our team. In the final game with Sturgeon Falls for the Championship of the Southern Group of Northern Ontario the Collegians swamped Sturgeon 19-0. Pelletier again starred with a touch and 4 points and Saunders and Chirico each scored for the 19 points. Our team travelled north to Timmins where their trick plays were hampered by fifteen inches of snow and the team lost 8-0 and the Poupore Cup now leaves North Bay. Pelletier had to be carried off the field with a twisted ankle in the early stages of the game and Frair suffered a charley-horse, Jennings, a broken hand and Mitchell had a recurrence of broken rib trouble. Rene Snooks Pelletier must be given great credit for the Collegiate success as should Trainer Porky Whitham last year's quarter- back.

BOYS' BADMINTON CLUB BILL BROWN, PRESIDENT The Boys' Badminton Club, during the years 1940 and 41, was very successful. The bad- minton season began in November, 1940 and the club was glad to invite some rookie badminton players into their midst. Besides these rookies the club also gained two experienced players who are newcomers to our school-Wiber and Stephenson. For the first time the school boasted a bad- minton team which took an active part in badminton tournaments. Several contests were held with a Sturgeon Falls club and other en- joyable evenings were spent in trying to defeat the teachers. We are pleased to say that all in all, the badminton team came out O.K. THE BADMINTON CLUB Front Row: Ruth Rankin, Esther Smith, jean Stewart, Frances Smith, Grace McGaughey.
