98 THE COLLEGIATE the S. C. l six. despite all champion-A ship aspirations. but they entered the finals. and lost out to the form- idable XX'oodstock College lYossa Champions. lYith only two of last years' plav- ers left there was little hope of a succesful season felt by the school authorities. In the course of seven games in which the team participated. only one defeat was administered them, and they scored 55 goals, while their opponents tal- lied 14. This record remains to be surpassed by school teams in the future. THE W. O. S. S. The fourth animal Track Meet was held in London on Saturday, May Ill. lozj. The largest attend- ance that has witnessed a XYossa track meet turned out on Saturday to watch the crack athletes from all over XXI-stern Ontario compete for .Nthletic honors. The Sarnia teams were forced to give up the Senior Trophy and Junior Trophy which has been in the possession of the Sarnia School since the XYossa Track meet was first organized Sarnia was forced to accept second position in the Senior events. l.on- don being first with 48 points, Sar- nia having a total of I5 points. ln the -Iunior entry London again claimed first place with a total of JS points. Sarnia trailing the list with 3 points. The bitterness of the loss of the trophies was alleviated by the bril- liant work of lfddie Hanna. He surprised even Sarnia fans with his beautiful sprinting. He was first in the geo. His final sprint was one uf the features of the day. his time was 23 I-5 sec. lle won his heat in the 100 yards with ease but in the finals he lost his chance through faulty work on the part of the starter Sinclar. The two London runners beat the pistol, Hanna re- fusing to start. Hanna was also a member of the relay team. Charlie firace in winning the pole vault eliminated some of the neat- est vanlters ever seen in London. Ile cleared the bar faultlessly at nine feet four inches collecting five more points .Xrthur llrown gathered in 3 points by taking second place in the Senior Shot Put. Chantler, of St. Thomas was first in the event. TRACK TEAM Hallam was the only Junior entry to get a place. He came second in the shot put collecting the only points for Sarnia.

The Sarnia speed- ster is a beautiful runner and covers the ground with amazing speed. There seemed something lacking in the Sarnia track team last year. The boys did not show the same spirit that has been conspicuous in the past. In the Senior half mile, XYilliams, the Sarnia entrant was tripped at the start. He recovered his feet and then lost his shoe but gamely kept in the race with his bare foot. The next meet will be held this year on May 17th, so an early start will be necessary if the trophies which are far-distant are to return again to the Sarnia Collegiate.

After winning the round from Amherstburg the Collegiate hockey team was scheduled to meet XVood- stock in a sudden-death game in London on Saturday, Mar. 8. Sar- nia was compelled to accept defeat, and in doing so they gave W'ood- stock College the London Free Press Trophy and the Wfestern Ontario Secondary Schools Associa- tion Championship for the third consecutive year. WVoodstock College proved to be a much more experienced team than Sarnia with three members of the team playing Intermediate hockey. Sarnia proved a strong opposition in the first period but in the last two periods were outclassed by Wfood- stock. The College lads were much at home on the large sheet of ice while the Sarnia boys found the large surface a handicap. Sarnia back checked VVoodstock well in the first period. Manore impressed the fans with his sensa- tional playing. VVhitehead scored the opening counter on a bullet-like shot from the wing after seven min- utes of play. Three minutes later Sarnia tied up the score when Macklin scored from a scrimmage. Southern stopped a deadly shot from centre ice which looked like a sure goal. The first period ended 1-1. The second period opened with 'Woodstock lads playing brilliant hockey. iVhitehf-ad put XVoodstock in the lead when he received the puck in a scramble in front of the goal and put it past Southern. Manore rushed forcing jones. the midget XVoodstock goaler, to fall to the ice in order to prevent a goal. Iemmett and XYhitehead each scored a goal in the last few minutes of play. In the third period LeBel scored for Sarnia after three minutes of play. 'Whitehead and -Iemmett scored in turn. Sarnia managed to make a few odd spurts and their forwards tried hard to score but the XYoodstock defence was too effec- tive. Macklin tallied for Sarnia in the last minute of play the game ending 9 to 3. Charles Jemmett, the classy centre player of Yloodstock was the outstanding star of the game. He scored four goals for the winners. There was little to choose between the Sarnia players. Sarnia C.

. THE COLLEGIATE. 99 VLSIT OF MR. WALTER KNOX Early in the fall a visitor came to the school in the person of Mr XVal-- ter Knox, the world-famous, all- round athlete and former Glympic coach. For the benefit of the few who may not know him we might say that Mr. Knox holds many National and International Cham- pionships and to-dav at the age of fifty would have no opposition in a ten event competition with any veteran athlete of his years. Mr. Knox gave the students a fine exhibition of the start of the sprints of the form in the shot-put, high jump. pole-vault, discuss throw and other track events. He was well pleased with the performance of several of the boys, stating that the school holds material for several championships. In the evening he delivered an il- lustrated lecture in which he em- phasized the importance of the re- quired amount of sleep, fresh air and good plain, wholesome food. He also pointed out that the suc- cessful athlete should not use to- bacco. The films were very interesting as well as instructive and the students who went to hear Mr Knox, left the school feeling that they had gained a great deal of knowledge in the art of training. BASKECTBALL At the close of the football season, followers of the principal indoor sport gathered to elect their officers and to get the practices under way. Ted Kennedy, a veteran of the last two years, was elected to lead the team. Claire Gates. a hard worker for the court 'game was chosen to manipulate the management of things and succeeded in a 'way which enabled this year's-team to enjoy one of its best schedules. Pre-season' practices brought out more aspirants for positions than ever before and it was soon seen that with the class of material on hand it would be no easy task for the coach to weed out the players. Under the able coaching of Mr. Keeber the team progressed rapidly with a few practices before Christ- mas as was evinced by the result of the annual Old Boys, game. The first few games were played to capacity houses which gave the team considerable encouragement. The members of the team this year have been favoured with the gracious hospitality of Miss Going and her girls who prepared three sumptuous banquets for them and the team wishes to express its sin- cere thanks to Miss Going and her staff of co-workers. Mr. Campbell, has also shown a great interest in the team's welfare and it'has been largely. through his efforts that the basketball team has had such a successful season. Sarnia 13.-Night School 13. The first basketball game of the season was played with the Night School team composed of the best material attending night classes, such as Son Jennings and Ray lVeston. The game was close throughout, although the better condition of the S. C. I. team showed to advantage but was somewhat offset by the ex- perience of the older players. The Collegiate team led at half- time. Then Son Jennings went on a shooting rampage and evened things up so that the game ended in a I3-I3 tie. The whole S. C. I. team made a creditable showing considering that it was the first game of the season. Night School-Forwards, Lucas, Shantz, Haneyg Centre, VVestong Guards, Jennings, Macdonald.
