IO2 THE COLLEGFATE. lacked the smoothness and smart- ness that the Port Huron team sup- plied, and were outplayed both in shooting and checking. The game was a clean one and the teams show- ed much improvement in team play, lighting to the very end. It was the first time in some years that a Port Huron team downed the SCI. on our home floor. S.C.I. 19--3.B.A. 17. At last the team has fallen into its winning pace and their speed and combination proved to be a little too much for the local OBA. squad. The game was full of action from start to hnish, with Carter starring all through, netting eleven points. S.C.I. 18-Port Huron H. S. 16 At the top of their form the school went to Port Huron, there to defeat the H. S. in a game which was fast and clean. The blue and white had the edge on Port Huron who were unable to check Potter and Carter, these two being the chief scorers for the Collegiate. . N 55 fi, H A9 i ix l 1 ai 'l i i

THE COLLEGIATE. lOl Sarnia 19-St. Thomas 6. Playing a steady but hard fought game in the Athletic Park on Satur- day, Nov. 29, the Sarnia Collegiate juniors won the junior 'VV.0.S.S.A.' Championship, for the Hrst time in the history of the school, from St. Thomas by a score of I9-6 on the home Game and 20-6 on the round. rs The Juniors were not playing at full strength as Bill Twaits, the reg- ular quarter, was compelled to stay out of the game owing to illness. The breach was ably filled by 'Dinty' Moore who conducted the team like a iveteran, until the last quarter when he was relieved by 'Twaits, who insisted on getting into the game for a few minutes. C The .luniors faltered only once in their decisive march to victory and that in the last quarter, but the lull was only momentary. So with head, heart and hand combined to insure the Championship, the Jun- iors amply demonstrated that they were able to bear the Junior XV.O. S.S.A. crests for the 1926 season. BOXING i For a considerable time Mr. Kee- ber has wanted boxing taught in the school. Accordingly, when Dr. VV. G. Gray offered to instruct a class and circumstances permitted one to be formed, the necessary boxing- gloves were procured and other ar- rangements completed. After the Christmas vacation it was an- nounced that boxing lessons would be given for the boys interested in that line of athletic work. The sponsors of the plan were pleased with the enthusiastic response. Thirty-five boys were enrolled and a nominal fee collected from them. Beginning on january 15th, after school, classes have been held twice weekly. Although but a short time has elapsed since then the pupils have made considerable progress under the able tutelage of Goldie, BASKETBALL After the close of a very success- Morrans Cellffev H- Caftefi Gl12lfdS. ful rugby season, the school eagerly welcomed basketball and looked for- ward to carrying their honours afar in this field. But from the hrst fate seemed to be against them, for the team had no coach to instruct them and the practices drew only a few. A team was at last picked out, Ted Teskey being chosen Captain and ably managed by Hubert Potterl The line-up was a good one and the team would have carried the school colours far into the series,-but, riddled by age and scholastic diffi- culties the team was ineligible to play in W.G.S.S.A. and of necessity defaulted to Strathroy, playing ex- hibition games for the remainder of the season.

The team was unable to stop Hallam, McDougall and Cur- rie, and this speedy combination soon piled up a healthy score over the school.

Th Archeologist Voll CMXVII-No. 73 Published twice Weekly July 17, 2513 EDITORIALS In this issue of the Archeologist it is with much interest we announce the discovery of the ancient town of Sardnia, near Lake Huron, It is the result of many patient years of excavation by the world famous Archeologist. Professor Ivanofulcoff, R.S.V.P., P.D.Q., F.Q.B. Aside from scientific mo- tives the professor has a personal interest as one of his ancestors known as, VVheyface the Mighty, was said to have inhabited these regions. Evidently these people had some premonition of the fate which finally wiped them off the face of the earth since a low, flat building was found which seems to indicate that it was built thus to withstand the disturbances ofthe earth's crust that seemingly swallowed the town and a great part of the surrounding territory. Along the corridors of this building, stored in niches, were found many mathematical treatises which along with the barred win- dows would lead one to believe that this was an insane asylum for mathema- ticians. A number of volumes have also been unearthed which are of great historical importance. Among these were found many. crude portraits which give us an intimate insight to many of their social activities, their work and their play. Their mode of writing and language is very difficult to decipher. In the ensuing editions of this magazine we are going to try to give you some idea of their customs and life by means of the portraits and pictures found, a great many of which were taken from life. The first of these, which is also the , most adaptable to our purpose is a full page of action pictures representing a championship rugger team of the year IQ26, neary 700 years ago. Vliho they defeated we are un- able to learn but their chief battles seem to have been with some tribe known as Stthomas The stature of these players is a matter of much debate among the archeoloofists. They are unable to account for the immense change in the Z5 , physique of these men with the average height of seven feet to-day, all of which has taken place in the comparatively short era of seven hundred years. Our language too is entirely different. As may be seen from the picture, C1 b ' ' . theirs was but a series of unintelligible howls and gurgles. The names of the plavers have been determined with much difficulty by the professor and a key to the numbers may be found on pages 95, 96 and 97. VVe will endeavour to give you some idea of their game by comparing it with ours. However, we cannot hope to form any dehmte opinions on the manner in which their game was conducted since our only means of com- parison is the above mentioned pictures and a few accounts of their games which were for the most part indecipherable. From thepicture it is very difficult to determine exactly how many players participated in the game. Wie believe that the play was very rough, judging from the weapons used. As can be seen No. 5 holds a Javelin, while No. I3 is evidently in the habit of throwing bricks. These practices are said to have originated in the battles with Petrolia among whom this art was developed to a high efficiency. This crude manner of attackgigyoppon- ' ' h nce in ents evidently necessitated the constant attendance of t e am ua charge of No. 9. Therefore we assume that those who are sitting down are substitute plavers to replace the dead and wounded. Among thesg af? Nd? e an O 16 and 21 The careless attitude these people had towar s 1 '! 43 7! ' - limb is shown by the eagerness ot No's. I and 7 to take part in the game.
