Athletic Prize Winners Back Row-Dan Dojack, Fred Howe, John Shank. Front Row-Edward McCann, Marion Graham, Constance Campbell, Lorne Renwick. This is a fitting place to mention that two of our athletes last spring secured places in two events at the inter-scholastic track meet run by the University at Saskatoon. Ronald Gooder- ham won the high hurdles and Fred Howe took third in the shot put and high jump. Last year we sent a team of four to compete in this meet but this year, although we have some very good material in the school, it is doubtful if we will send any, partly on account of a lack of funds and partly because we don't see why the meet should be held in Saskatoon each year, which, on account of the expense, doesn't give the southern schools a chance to enter large athletic teams.

and prove their athletic ability, it also serves as a means of bringing students and teachers together and make them acquainted with each other early in the year. Year by year the number competing has been constantly growing. Last fall some 350 entered the various events and about 300 actually took part. The programme of 75 events started at ten o'clock in the morning and but for a short recess at noon, was continued up to six in the evening. The big annual feature of the meet is the inter-school one mile relay race. Challenges were sent to Campion College and the Normal School, but only Campion accepted. R.C.I. won, but Campion put up a hard, determined fight. VVe have not lost this race in a great number of years. It was a long busy day for both teachers and students, and with the finish of the last relay race everybody adjourned for home and supper, tired but happy. This year the elements were with us instead of Nagin us and the nice, mild, sunny afternoon helped to make the meet the best yet. The results brought out the fact that we have some very good athletes in the school and that we are not going back by any means, for 13 records were broken and two tied. The form championships were won by IA with 61 points, IIA for the second time with 70 points, and III D also with 70 points. The individual champions were as follows: Boys all round-1. Fred Howe, 29 points. I 2. Dan Dojaek, 24 points. 3. Glover Howe, 21 points. Girls' all round-1. Minnie Friedgut, 25 points. 2. lVIarion Graham, 21 points. 3. Sophie Sapirga, 12 points.

Y A RUGBY FOOTBALL Rugby football is the big fall sport and always brings out many lusty warriors looking for gore. Cn account of its strenuous- ness it is limited to the second, third and fourth year boys. The 1922 season was the best in many a school year. We started off with a school league made up of three teams with the traditional names of Tigers, Pirates, and Comets. The teams respectively were led and coached by Gerald Erskine, Bill McElmoyle, and Paul Carpenter, and the enthusiasm and competition was worthy of a University league. The Tigers proved to be the best team, only going down to one defeat, but the other two teams gave them a battle royal. The champion team was composed of the following: Gerald Erskine CCaptainD, N. Busch, D. Dojack, W. Boyle, J. Schwan, H. Graham, A. Little, J. Purvis, J. Fowler, J. Carpenter, E. Wagner, E. Hettle, H. Cassell and D. Allen. The R.C.I. team had a very fine season and one of the strongest line-ups in years. They played five games and only lost one and that being to their much heavier, bigger, and older opponents at the Normal school. At that we beat them once, in the first game of the season. The game of the season was with our old rivals, Moose Jaw. They brought down a team from each of their Collegiates and we were successful in defeating both. Both games were great exhibitions of the grand old sport. Moose Jaw Central hadn't a chance in the world to stop our first team, and Ross also had to acknowledge defeat at the hands of our second team, which came from behind in the second half and bucked the whole length of the field for a one point margin and victory. After the games we wound up the season in style, entertaining Moose Jaw to a supper and dance. The schedule of games was as follows: 23
