Tumer Climaxing years of endeavour, the P.C.I. rugby team finally suc- ceeded in achieving their objective by becoming the hrst team in the school's history to win a Provin- cial Championship. This unique accomplishment, as well as bring- ing honour to the coach and play- ers, is shared by the whole school, who with a line display of school spirit supported the team to the limit. P.C.I. opened this schedule by defeating a strong Oshawa squad on the local gridiron. It was a hard-fought game throughout with both teams displaying good form in spite of the short training season. The final score was 26-0 for the home team. For the next league game P.C.I. journeyed to Bowmanville. Here as always Peterborough were slow in starting, until they became ac- customed to the field. They came back strong in the second half to win by a score of 24-0. The return game with Oshawa Page Fiftyfour Senior Rugby All Hail the Victors! was much closer. Peterborough was considerably weakened by the absence of three regular players injured in practice. This, how- ever, seemed to strengthen the morale of the team, and they pull- ed through winning by a close score of 7-2. , The final game of the group was played with Bowmanville at River- side Park. Although there was nothing at stake, an interesting brand of rugby was displayed. Peterborough held an upper hand throughout and emerged victor- ious on the long end of a 29-O count. Interspersed through the sched- ule were two exhibition games to give the team practice and provide opportunities for experimenting. The game with Malvern Collegiate was played in a sea of mud, neither team having any pronounced edge on the play, although Malvern managed to secure two singles to win the game. P.C.I. fared better with Pickering College, Who, how- ever, scored'more points than any of the opposition up to this time. But the home team proved to have too great a variety of attack back- ed by a strong defence for Pickering to cope with, the final score being 35-5. The first of the playoffs was a sudden-death game for the Lake- shore group honours with the highly-touted Albert College team who, however, failed to live up to their high reputation, but offered stout opposition before dropping a 28-0 verdict. P.C.I. then advanced to the C.O.S.S.A. finals against Barrie. This was another sudden-death game played on neutral grounds- Toronto. This game produced many tense moments but once again the Garnet and Grey were successful with a close victory of 12-5. For the third time the goal was in sight. After much confusion in the arrangements for the game,
