Showing the result of a week'S practice and superiority over Lon- don in every department of the game the Collegiate Juniors had no trouble in setting them back here by 29-0, winning the round by 63 points and qualifying to meet XVind- sor-lYalkerville Technical team in the next round. London's team was strengthened for the game and was a smoother working one than on the previous Saturday. For London. XX'ong, the Chinese flash, and Heard were the best. The running of Hol- ton, Strain and Potter for the S.C.l. and T.S. was oustanding as was the excellent kicking displayed by Ban- well. Ike Lampel gained ground consistently by plunges, Potter made a 75 yard sprint for one of Sarnia's touches. The S.C,l. and T.S. was leading by 5-0 at the end of the first and during the second Lampel went over for a touch which was converted by Strain.

THE COLLEGIATE II9 . PRESENTATION OF MEDALS a . .-- On the morning of January Sth, 1925 the Senior rugby team was presented with silver medals donat- ed by the lYestern Ontario Second- ary Schools Association. Dr. A. N. Hayes made the presentation and Coach Ross Gray gave a short ad- dress in which he stressed the great achievement of the school in win- ning the championship. The play- ers presented were coached by Ross Dolly Gray and Beattie Son Jennings and included XYalter Cal- lum, John Manore, Howard Carter, Lloyd Hallam, Roy Brown, Harold VanHorne. Gerald McVean. Edward Kennedy, Cyril Teskey, Raymond Cook, XYm. Ewener. Gordon Mat- tingly, XYilfred Hand, Bruce Mait- land, Gleed XYorkman, Leslie Ewen- er, Logan Hillman, Frank Burwell, and St. Clair Parsons. Although Edgar Kellam was playing on the lirsts he was not awarded a medal in spite of the fact that he deserved on. as only nineteen medals are a- warded by the XYossa. In winning the championship the school played eight games winning six of them. The results were Pe- trolia I7-3.XYll1ClSOI' 15-5, Galt .23-I7, St. Thomas IS-12. They lost out in the Interscholastic Final to Hamil- ton at London after a hard game. Ross Cray'and Son Jennings de- serve a great deal of credit for the unselhsh manner in which they gave their time and experience to .the coaching of the team and it wigs greatly due to their line coachiiag that we were able to bring the lYossa championship to our school. The Observer had the following' comment to make after the' St. Thomas game there :- Sarnia has good reason to be proud of her two rugby teams. They brought two championships to the city in the games Finished on Saturday, Inter- mediate and lYossa. These teams are to go after still higher honours this week, but whatever fate has in store for them in the future battles nothing can dim the creditable re- cord already achieved. The quality of performance and sportsmanship on and off the field is a conspicuous characteristic of the organizations that have carried the Sarnia colours to victory this season. It has meant much to the prestige of Sarnia in athletic circles, and every citizen should feel proud of the winners. Summary Of the eight games played by the Senior team in the lY.O.S.S.A. ser- ies they have won six games, tied one and lost one. They rolled up a total of 73 points against 37 scor- ed by their opponents. THE SECSND TEAM E This year our junior rugby team was entered in the Junior XYossa series and although they did not get very far they made a very creditable showing. Many of last year's play- ers were drafted to fill the gaps in the senior team, but the seconds managed to produce a powerful squad. Much credit is due the sec- onds for the line support they gave the senior team both in practice and at the games themselves. Cecil Banwell was elected captain of the team and Bill Southern manager. The seconds were grouped with London, the winner to meet the lYindsor-lYalkerville T e ch ni c al team. S.C.I and T.S. II. 34-London 0 October llth. The Sarnia Juniors travelled to London for their opening engage- ment and knocked London's thoughts of championship sky-high, when they swamped them 34-O. The first period ended 10-0 and at half time stood at I7-O. Sarnia was the better team in every depart- ment. At three quarter time the score stood 23-O and in the last a touch by Strain, converted by South-

THE COLLEGIATE l2l offered to play a sudden death game in Sarnia and the juniors took them up. It was a hard-fought game and a hard one for Sarnia to lose. The Collegiate's passing was away off colour and fumbles were respon- sible for the loss. XVindsor-XValk-- erville had a well-balanced team which took advantage of every mis- take Sarnia made. .lacquemain and Garrison were their stars. Potter kicked a field goal for Sarnia netting 3 points. In the second period ,lac- quemain netted a touch which he converted and then booted to the deadline for another point shortly after. Sarnia played a splendid, al- though a losing game, which was watched by one of the largest crowds to see a junior game in this city. Fickley of Hamilton and Cow- an of Stratford handled the game. SENIOR fl-IOCKEY The hockey season got under way to an early start when, on Decem- ber Ist a meeting was held in the Study Room at which it was decid- ed to place both a junior and senior team in the lY.O.S.S.A. race. The senior team was very fortunate in securing Lyle LeSueur, an old hoc- key star, to coach them and they take this opportunity of thanking Mr. LeSueur for his unsellish ser- vices. Hockey as usual was poorly supported by the students as a whole but despite difficulties one of the best teams to sport the blue and white sweaters was turned out this year. lYhen this was written they had played only two games, elim- inating Forest by IO-3 and were in the semi-finals. S.C.I. 3-Old Boys 2 The lirst appearance of the team was on the second of january when they rang up their first win of the season at the expense of the Old Boys by a 3-2 count in ten minutes overtime. Neither team had com- bination and injuries were plentiful though not serious. Referee:-O. N. lYilson. S.C.I. 5-Forest 2 After putting it off and on again for three weeks the S.C.I. seniors travelled to Forest and trimmed their seniors by a 5-2 count in a fairly fast game before a small crowd. The S.C.l. worked better together, shot better, and it was only some sensational work by Burke for Forest which kept the score where it was. Alpaugh, Roche and Todd were the pick of the losers and Manore was the most outstanding player for the S.C.l. Eddie Robinson handled the game. S.C.I. 5-Forest 1 In the return game here one week later the S.C.l. captured the district championship by virtue of their win over Forest by 5-I in a game which showed more disciplined hockey than any S.C.l. team ever boasted of. Four of the live goals Sarnia scored were on combination play. Alpaugh and Doolittle turned in splendid games for Forest as did Roche at centre. Brodie was a hundred per cent. better than at the start of the season. The S.C.l. has a team this year which should go a long way in the hockey race if they function as well for the remainder of the season as at the beginning. Macklin went on a scoring ram- page in the first, netting three goals in nine minutes. Burke, in the nets for Forest certainly turned in a wonderful game and none of the goals that went in could be laid to poor net-minding. There was no score in the second but Manore and Macklin slip in two in the third. Bill McCart of Sarnia refereed.
