IIZ THE CO LLEGIATE S.C.l. and T.S. 10-Petrolia 0 October 18th. In the return game at Petrolia on October 18th the Sarnia team put the Hard Oils out of VV.O.S.S.A. running by 10-0, winning the round by I4 points. During the Hrst per- iod it looked as though Petrolia would score before Sarnia got into the game, the ball being in Sarnia territory most of time. In the se- cond and third Sarnia had the edge of play but Petrolia came back strong in the fourth. At the kick- off Hyatt started a kicking attack. McHattie gave the Hard Oil fans a few anxious moments when he lost the ball near his own line. Sarnia failed to score however. and the per- iod ended 0-O. Carter kicked to the deadline in the second for Sarnia's first counter. McHattie and Pol- lard did some good bucking for Pe- trolia while VVorkman and Ewener did most of it for Sarnia. In the third Hallam gained yards for Sar- nia and Carter booted another to the deadline. The Hard Oils were for- ced to rouge in the last bringing the score to 4-0. On the first down YanHorne scooped up the ball and fought his way through for the lone touch of the game which was con- verted. Although the game was kept clean and fast it was not without a few fistic encounters and injuries were common. Sarnia carried a good crowd of fans with them but the Hard Oils had a poor crowd out. Hopper of Petrolia and Cowan of Sarnia handled the game. Baird of London was head linesman. S.C.l. and T. S. 7-Windsor 5 October 25th Sarnia's next game was at XVincl- sor where they took Al. Edwards and his outfit into camp to the tune of 7-5. Sarnia was leading by 7-0 until the final chapter when, with 50 seconds to go Edwards scored a touch which was converted. The S.C.I. and T.S. had a smoother work- ing team but VVindsor inclined to American rugby, which was over- looked by the referee. VVindsor's line was heavier than Sarnia's but the catching and handling of the ball by the Sarnia team had a wide margin over that of Vllindsor. Car- ter's punting was better than Hick's and Parsons and Burwell at ends turned in good games. Edwards starred for Wlindsor. The Collegiate took the lead at the start of the game, Kennedy sending Millman through the line for a touch which was converted. XYindsor still inclined to American by. In the third Carter kicked to the deadline for a point. 'With 3 minutes to go Carter booted to Ed- wards who pulled ofif a sixty yard run. From this position and with 50 seconds to play, VVindsor sco1'ed their lone touchdown. Something was wrong with the convert and al- though it was counted by the re- feree, the matter was taken up with the secretary of the O.R.F.U. and the point disallowed. The final score was 7-5 for the S.C.I. and T.S. S.C.l. and T.S. 8-Windsor 0 November lst The following Saturday saw the S.C.I. and T.S. with a two point lead to work on, turn back the VVindsor aggregation again by 8-0, winning the round by IO points. VVindsor still inclined to American rugby needing only the forward pass to complete it. Parsons and Bur- well at ends were good and were getting under Carter's kicks every time. Hallam turned in a good game while Millman and Ewener gave good plunging exhibitions. The whole Sarnia team presented a stonewall defence. Edwards starred for VVindsor but his kicking could not be compared to that of Carter. VVindsor took the wind and forc- ed the S.C.I. and T.S. to a defensive game. Play was evenly matched during the first quarter, neither team scoring. In the second stan- za, Hallam took Edwards' punt and returned it 65 yards and on a Wind- sor punt he booted a return to the deadline. Carter kicked two more

THE COLLEGIATE Il3 to the deadline to make the score 3-0. ln the third Kennedy grabbed a loose ball and scurried over for a touch which was not converted. Play see-sawed back and forth in the last frame neither team count- ing. The game was handled by Baird of London and Lalonde of Toronto. S.C.I. and 15-Galt 15 November 5th The S.C.l. and T.S. squad was next ordered to meet Galt and on No- vember the 5th they made the trip there and succeeded in holding Galt to a 15-I5 tie. A 25 yard run by Kennedy and the silent plays of the locals which caught Galt napping featured the game. XYith eleven minutes to go Sarnia faced an eleven point deficit. but Hallam kicked eleven onsides in a row and Parsons and Manore went over for two touches. Reist and Patrick were the pick for Galt while Callum, Kennedy, Maitland, Millman and Carter were Sarnia's best. Sarnia started off strong, Parsons, going around the end for yards and Carter forced Reist to rouge. In the second Carter kicked and Shupe drop kicked for three points. The score stood 4-5 for Galt at half time. ln the third period Galt got a touch which was not converted. Shupe went over for a touch again at the beginning of the fourth and Sarnia sprung the surprise, when with only eleven minutes to go, Hallam kick- ed eleven onsides, nine of which were recovered. Parsons got the fifth and went over for a touch and with 30 seconds to go Manore grab- bed 'one which was converted by Carter just as the whistle blew. The largest crowd to witness a game this year at Galt was present. S.C.I. and T.S. 8-Galt 2 November llth In the return game at Sarnia on the eleventh. the S.C.l. and T.S. kept up their string of victories when they turned back the Galt Scotch- men by 8-2 and qualified to meet St. Thomas in the final round. The game was marked by constant fum- bling by both teams. Hurwell at end turned in a splendid game and Kennedy was the most spectacular man on the'field. He ran back a number of punts but was at times too much inclined to carry the ball himself. Ewener made two fine thirty yard runs and Kennedy fur- nished the thrill of the game when he took Reist's punt on his thirty yard line and went through for a touch down. Hallam who was hurt in the previous game, watched from the sidelines, but although he and lllillman were missing, Potter, Sou- thern and Hanwell of the seconds ably filled in. Galt opened strong. scoring two points in as many kicks to the dead- line Neither team scored in the second quarter, but in the third. Ewener plunged for thirty yards and Kennedy brought joy to the hearts of the S.C.l. and T.S. sup- porters when he took Reist's kick on Galt's 30 yard line and scored a touchdown but was forced to retire when his ankle gave out. Carter forced Galt to rouge and two min- utes later sent one to the deadline. The game was handled by Fickley of Hamilton and Cowan of Strat- ford. S.C.l. and T.S. 17-St. Thomas 6 November 21st Once again the old tradition held true when the S.C.I. and T.S. cham- pion seekers decisively defeated St. Thomas by 17-6 at Sarnia. In spite of the inclement weather a crowd estimated at 1500 attended. Car- terls booting was the big factor of the game while Ewener and Millman turned in fine games. Metcalfe and Green were the pick for the Saints. Kennedy was hurt in the first quar- ter and was carried off the field, Van Horne taking his place. Bus- ter Reid of London handled the game and was about as popular with everybody as the iceman on a cold day. He made two or three bad breaks and gave the Saints a touch
