Page Fifty-Four THE HOIVLER, 195'-1 SENIOR RUGBY GAMES North Toronto Zlliffentral Tech O This game proved to be a mere workout for our powerful squad as Tech. displayed its usual indifferent style of football. For the curtain raiser of the new season it was a drab affair. Riverdale O--North Toronto 16 Another easy win was chalked up at River- dale's expense. Two unconverted touchdowns, three singles and a field goal for 16 points is a good indication of the team's offensive power. The half-line in this tilt looked par- ticularly good. North Toronto 6-Malvern 0 This game was a lioodlight feature at Tflster stadium and in the opinion of the writers was the most spectacular game of the season because the group leadership was at stake and both teams went to work with a will. A quick offensive in the first period, consisting of a long forward for a touchdown and a single a few minutes later, gave North Toronto an early advantage. For the next three periods our powerful line turned back every scoring thrust of the hard-plunging Malvern outfit and the boys applied their third straight coat of whitewash. Jarvis 3-N.T.C.I. 3 This game rang down the curtain on the regular season and was a hard fought affair throughout. However, our line gradually pushed back the Jarvis team and by the end of the third period had piled up a three point lead. VVith but a few minutes to play a des- perate attack by the Red team carried them to N. T. -10 yard line, from where Darbyshire, their star half, kicked a field goal from a seemingly impossible angle to tie and end the game. This was a disappointing finish as the boys wanted to end the schedule without being scored upon, The team now entered the quarterfinals against the powerful Parkdale squad. North Toronto 16-Parkdale O Crang's stadium was the scene of this battle and proved to be a battle between two tricky half lines. However, our wing line made won- derful interference and the outsiders tackled like fiends. Aided by forwards our team ran the heavier Parkdale aggregation into the ground and accumulated an unsurmountable lead. This victory gave us a bye into the finals and provided a much needed rest. Finals: North Toronto 2fMalvern 1 On a field more suitable for the making of mud pies than good football N. T. defeated its rival Malvern. Each team played a care- ful brand of football and it settled down into a two bucks and a kick affair with both wing lines putting up a stout defence. An in- terrupted forward pass in the first period en- abled Malvern to open the scoring. However, North Toronto tied it up early in the second period. The game appeared destined to end a tie when the break of the afternoon occurred. Merrifield wound up for a forward pass and heaved the -ball for all he was worth and from a nest of Malvern defenders Swinden cut in from the touchline, grabbed the ball and was downed for a 40-yard gain. From here Macdonald wasted little time in kicking the single point that won the game and the cham- pionship. -www JUNIOR RUGBY GAMES Although once again the Championship proved elusive, the 1933 Junior team had a successful season. Three wins in exhibition games, two at the expense of Pickering Col- lege and-one over Northern Vocational, put the boys in shape to beat Central Tech. Al- though heavily outweighted all along the line, they counted a 9-1 win by staging a rousing rally in the last period. Malvern, however, proved a stumbling block and the result was a 9-1 loss in a bitterly fought game under the floodlights. Riverdale, too, proved strong,
