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

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

in a tied score, which overtime failed to break. In the third contest, however, IB won out. The following made up IB's tea1n: J. Arnold, H. Armour, R. MeEael1ern, F. Cl. Hoskins, E. H. McCann, H. T. Spohn, F. T. Nordyke, J. B. Makulowicli, E. V. McMurdie, D. VV. Johnstone, G. Robson, J. Melnnis Zlllfl S. D. Shaw QCaptain.j A FIELD HOCKEY Two years ago we introduced this sport into the SCl100l for the girls and each fall since then many fair young damsels have been seen on the field battling for supremacy in skill at this game. The game is played with heavy sl1inny sticks and a small ball under rules similar to soccer foot ball. It is slowly spreading and we expect one of these days to do battle with Moose Jaw Cl., whom we are told is taking to the game with enthusiasm. We didn't have a school team in this sport this year, but many hot games were played by the girls as part of their physical training programme. ' With Moose Jaw taking the game up, next fall should see this sport booming around old R.C.I. TENNIS Our tennis courts are fast becoming insufficient i11 number to accommodate those desiring to play tennis. During the fall very seldom were the courts idle. The boys' section of the tennis club ran off two tournaments last fall. The junior singles were won by Jack Anstis, the senior by Jack McCallum and the doubles by Stanley Kelly and Wilfrid Brown. The tennis club has just been reorganized for 1923, with the following officers: President, --?-5 Secretary, Jack Peartg Treasurers, Jean Campbell a11d Jack McCallum. The membership of the tennis club this year will Illllllllfll' about 100. 1 We expect to have a banner season's tennis as the Board of Trustees is going to put the courts in shape for us. That tl1ey need it badly is well known to tennis devotees and tl1e Board will earn the thanks of many. BASKETBALL With our fine gymnasium so handy it is 11ot surprising that basketball should have a strong hold on the students. It is the great i11door winter game, and from C'l1ristn1as to Easter, every after- noon from four to six, with Saturdays included, sees the old 25
