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

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.

SOCCER FOOTBALL Many first year boys, for whom the game is promoted, enjoyed a fine season at soccer. Each first year form had a team and games were played two days a week up until the snow arrived. In all sixteen match games were played and the series resulted in IB being declared the winning form. The game to decide the championship was between IA and IB, and no less than three contests had to be staged to decide it as twice the game resulted 24
