THE ECHOES S 67715 r PARDON us for boasting about our rugby record this year, but it can't be helped. When a team wins its group, the playoffs in its league, and advances to the Ontario iinals, there is room for some self-praise. And this is just what the senior team did this year. Since there was no junior team in the school, all efforts were concen- trated on the senior aggregationg and under the watchful eyes of Coach Bamforth, as well as with the advice of a group of bench warmers who don't know the difference between a rugby ball and an Eskimo pogostick, the results were astounding. Grouped with Oshawa and Bow- manville, the team experienced no dilhculty in working to the top of the heap, defeating both teams by large scores. Oshawa was beaten in two league games by a total score of 35 to 8 while Bowmanville was likewise beaten to the tune of 36 to 7. After Winning this group the team proceeded to Belleville where they won two games by a total score of 4-2 to 8 to win the playoffs of the Lakeshore League and the Dr. Neal Trophy. Next Barrie was played in Toronto for the right to go into the Ontario finals and P. C. V. S. came out with the long end of a score of 11 to 1. Incidentally this game showed some terrible refereeing on the part of two Toronto men who seemed more at home on a ping-pong table than a gridiron. Now came the crucial test. P. C. V. S. met St. Mikes here in Peter- borough in the finals for the Ontario championship, and while they didn't win they played a great game against a team with facilities for training which we cannot hope to have. Couple this with a few bad breaks fit sounds like an alibi but it isn'tl and you have the reason why an Ontario champion- ship doesn't belong to P. C. V. S. At that the score was only 7 to 2 for St. Mikes. So much for the seasons play. A little research work has brought to 73 YQW light the fact that in league games, exhibition games and playoffs, P. C. V. S. scored 240 points and had only 45 points scored against them. This shows that a good offensive team is no dummy when it comes to playing on the defensive. We have also found that, of this year's team, many will be here next year to really go and get that provincial title. To name those on the team who were outstanding would be unfair and more than likely untrue. Kelly stood out because of his height, Gunsolus because of his width, Gemmell because of his lack of width and Grant Clark because of his lack of height. Al Clark, Hendren, Duncan, Hall, Perks, Luther, Patterson, Turner, VVard, King, Grady, Sedgewick and Czumrik were all ready when needed and all worked equally hard to make the season's play a success. . In passing out bouquets here and there we can't forget the kindness shown us by the team from Grove School, who were so ready and willing to arrange practice games, and who took the ego out of a good many P. C. V. S'ers who believed themselves to be invincible. An exhibition game with Central Technical School of To- ronto will be long remembered, Then, too, we must mention lXIr. R. D. Brown, Mr. Ross and Mr. Colling- wood, who teach the rudiments of the game to stars of future teams. Our thanks also go to Dr. Neal, whose interest in the team has helped im- measurably, and whose medical advice and help has been much appreciated by injured gridders as well as by an athletic association whose finances at no time have been Very great. Dr. Neal had one particularly hard case. It was rumored that 'Tim Hall had a blood clot on the brain, but the doctor could find nothing but the blood clot. VVe are also grateful to Dr. Clark, who has a personal interest in the team and who is really one of the gang, and to Dr. Craig for dental service.

74 But enough space has been taken up with this. Sullice it to say that we are proud of our success this year, we hope for even greater success next year, and with fine support from the members of the school there is no reason in the world why P. C. V. S. cannot win a provincial championship. SCORES OF GAMES PLAYED 1 v - P. C X . S. 5-l Grove J 2-l Oshawa l S Central Tech. 9 1 1 Bowmanville 7 25 O 11 Oshawa 7 i . .

The End Qf a Pwifert Gamf The whistle blew a mighty blast, The crowd began to cheer at last. The ball went sailing through the air To the little half, who waited there. The middles were upon their guard, - But the little half-back lost a yard. A forward pass was thrown with zest, It gave the passing team a rest. The pass complete, a daring feat, Brought all spectators to their feet. A yard to go to cross the line, The quarter called the number nine. A touchdown play was on the way. The ball was snapped to save the day' The inside, who was large and tall Unfortunately dropped the ball. He dropped the ball, hence our defeat, That last play made the game complete. A yard to go, a fumbled ball - And that's the way to end it all. H.-XIG KELLY, II B Com. y Dztezwrm Mig by ANEW7 system was tried in the school this year. To replace the junior team, three interform teams were created. Anyone might play on these teams, except, of course, mem- bers of the senior squad. The Greys captained by Alvin King and coached by Mr. Collingwood, the Garnets cap- tained by Ralph Johnston and coached by Mr. R. D. Brown, and the Voca- tional team captained by Verne Fergu- son and coached by lXIr. Ross, pro- vided a lot of fun for the players, who benefited a great deal from their seasons play. Playing among themselvesj each team took part in four games, after which an all-star team was selected which played several games with Lake- Held and St. Peter's School. The team is indebted to the three coaches already mentioned for their co-operation in instructing the new enthusiasts, and to Dr. Preston who did some dental work for them.
