TI-IE COLL EGIATE 95 they were able to keep the other team from their goal. S. C. I. 21 - London Elks-52. The showing made at London by the S. C. I. rugby team, during the fall of IQZO, evidently did not go un- noticed by the rugby authorities of that city. .-Xt least, though there were four eligible teams, all except the Elks found alibis. The Elks' team was composed of players from the Elks' Athletic Club of Askin St., London. Several of the players. who motored, were delayed, so, as the crowd was becoming restless. the Elks agreed to commence the game with two Senior City League players on their lineup. Neither team played brilliant rugby.-the S. C. 1. team because it was below form and the visitors because they did not possess a knowledge of the finer points of the game. The su- periority of the Sarnia team was offset by their numerous fumbles. forward passes and blunders. But for these faults. the defeat of the Elks would have been even greater. Ed. Hanna, on his initial appearance with the Firsts, made a creditable showing. Since he was easily able to outrun any of the opposition, he was used a great deal in end runs. l-le scored two touchdowns and was instrumental in advancing the ball within scoring distance for the oth- er two touchdowns of the game, which Pugh and Simpson secured. Hayes converted one of these. The linemen did their share and Newton. especially, had little trouble in mak- ing large gains through holes open- ed by Potter and Park. In the last quarter, the Elks secured their two points when they forced the stud- ents to rouge, after recovering fum- bles near Sarnia line. S. C. I. 1 - St. Thomas C. I. 7 TN'hile our Rugby team was oc- cupied with exhibition games, St. Thomas was elimating NYoodstock College with comparative ease, and thus qualified to play Sarnia. On Gctober 29th, the S. C. I. team suf- fered defeat, the only time during their IQ2l season. Adverse condi- tions seemed tu spring up on all sides and Fate's decrees began to take effect when the team assem- bled in the station at train time. Be- cause of a wreck, their train was two hours late and this time was stretched out until the train was three hours behind schedule. Lon- don railway authorities would not allow the team to go on a freight train that was leaving, as it was un- certain just when the train would arrive. The players with the excep- tion of Hayes. Corey and Richard- son, who motored, were forced to remain at the station. Some. real- izing that it was their only chance tu secure any nourishment, dashed uptown to a restaurant and gobbled the odd sandwich. The engineer of the train had received orders to rush the team through to London and we were able to make connec- tions with a London and Pt. Stan- ley radial which the Grand Trunk officials had detained on our ac- count. The large crowd, which had wait- ed patiently, breathed a sigh of re- lief when the much-delayed game finally startedl i St. Thomas, after securing the ball shortly after play commenced, began to rush it down the field us- ing a wonderful running interfer- ence. The referee's interpretation of the Interference rule semed to be in accord with the interference used by the St. Thomas team. As the Sarnia team had been coached to the letter in the correct interpre- tation of this rule, they were unable to use or combat this style of play, thus being at somewhat of a disad- vantage. The St. Thomas team used end runs very effectively by the aid of this interference and gained many yards. Nearing the Sarnia line at a crucial time, they fumbled the ball and Sarnia recovered. Then the teams began working back to- wards centre field, principally be- cause of the bucking of Gabler and Newton. Neither team was able to
