II4 THE CO LLEGIATE. which they should not have had. Brown booted to the deadline and Carter made a tremendous 60 vard kick for Sarnia's second point. YanHorne kicked an onside which Brown got just over the line. Car- ter converted. Sarnia 8. St. Thomas o. lt was at the beginning of the second that the Saints got their touch handed to them. Plav was fairlv even during this period until YanHorne kicked an onside, Bur- well scoring a touch which was con- verted bv Carter. The third was good straight football. Carter scor- ed on' two kicks to the deadline. ln the fourth frame Brown was forced to rouge. the final score standing I7-6 for the S.C.l. and T.S. S.C.l. and T.S. l-St. Thomas 6 November 29th. The return game at St. Thomas was close throughout. Sarnia pre- sented a stubborn defence and play- ed an onside kicking game which started in a blinding snow storm and ended in semi-darkness. Carter's booting was good and Udell was the best for the Saints. Reid of Lon- don again handled the game and had a difficult job straightening out some of his blunders to the satis- faction of the teams. Neither team scored in the first period but in the second Udell made a touch after a 40 yard run by Bal- dwin . The touch was not convert- ed. Carter was forced to rouge in the fourth, making the score 6-o. Carter tried onside kicks which the Saints could not cope with and in the last minute kicked to Udell who was forced to rouge. The game was hard all the way through as the field was covered with snow and ice. Although the S.C.I. and T.S. lost here they retained their lead and thus won the XV.0.S.S.A. champion- ship. Owing to the lateness of the season it was decided that a sudden death game with Hamilton for the Interscholastic Champion- ship should be played in London on December 8th. 0. R. F. U. CONTEST S.C.I. and T.S. 2-Hamilton ll December 8th The supreme test for the team came when they met the Hamilton team in a sudden death game at Tecumseh Park, London, on De- cember Sth. At the beginning of the fourth Sarnia-was leading 2-I and, with Callum and Millman off for holding, Hamilton came from behind in the dying moments of the game to win one of the hardest fought battles ever waged iii an In- terscholastic series. Hamilton call- ed the signal for a fake kick which Sarnia was not looking for and Wfillard broke through for a touch. Hamilton added four more when the S.C.I. and T.S. tried too many onside kicks. In the first period Brown was forced to rouge. In the second Sarnia fans were given a bad scare when Hunter booted to Sarnia's one yard line. Carter kicked. Sarnia worked the ball up the field and Carter kicked to Hunter who was forced to rouge. He made a spec- tacular thirty yard run and forced the Hams to rouge again before the period ended. The last quarter proved disastrous to Sarnia's cause. Millman and Callum were penalized and Willard scored a touch for Hamilton. Hodd converted. The S.C.I. and T.S. tried onside kicks but Hamilton added four more points before the period ended. For the S.C.I. and T.S. Carter's kicking was fautless while his line gave him excellent support. Par- sons and Burwell were there every time and Millman was the most ef- fective man on the team, outside of Carter. Although the Collegians lost out in the final moments of the game, they came up smiling and de- spite the fact that they were plas- tered with mud they lined up and gave three cheers for Hamilton. Such spirit speaks well for S.C.I. and T.S. sportsmanship.

He was also adept at gathering in onside kicks and long passes when extra yards were needed. His tackling feaa tured every game. HAROLD VANHORNE Funny, a veteran of three seasons is strong and fast and made an ideal half man. He broke up many of the enemy's plays by his low, hard tackling and was always good for yards through the line. VVALTER CALLL' M One of the fastest men on the team who came out later in the season and gave valuable assist- ance when, due to injuries the team was in drastic need of help. HOVVARD CARTER One of the huskies of the team. An elusive open Field runner and able to boot with the best of them. Could also plunge with equal skill. A star in every game. FRANK BURNVELLL Frank was another outstand- ing and deadly tackler of the team. Big and fast he was dnwn on every kick. Frank could always be depended upon to take his man out of the play. ..,.--.- .
