THE COLLEGIATE. NORMAN PATTERSON 1101 1Midclle1 Coming up from the juniors. last season Norm played stel- lar rugby all fall. A fierce, ag- gressive lineman made him in- strumental in deciding three or four games by spectacular 211 yard plunges. 141 RlCHARIJ PARK 1Flying XYingl Last season was l7ick's first at rugby. Owing to the fact that he was big and fast he soon de- veloped into a good ball-carrier and a splendid secondary defense man. 1161 DWIGHT SIMMONS 1lnsidel Last season Buff came up from the juniors. The fact that line positions were exceptionally scarce prevented him from taking part in many games. However, with last year's experience he should prove of invaluable assis- tance to this year's team. 1211 BYRON SPEARS CHalfj His first year in the Senior series. A strong runner and a good booter, with more experi- ence he should develop into an exceptional kicker. A promis- ing prospect for the 1927 season. 191 CHARLIE RICHARDS tMiddle1 Another man in his first sen- ior series. Charlie's build and strength made him an effective lineman. NVith lots of grit and nerve Charlie looks good for a splendid season this fall. 1121 GLEN FINCH ' 1Endj One of the numerous new- comers. Glen's determination in his tackling earned him his place on the team. He could stay with the best of them for the full sixty minutes. 1141 JACK MCXVATTERS QEndj Jake was our utility man. He was a hard tackler and speedy ball carrier. An end or half position suited him equally well.

THE COLLEGIATE 1195 HUBERT POTTER Cl,eft half! A half who could run with the best of them. The surest tackler on the team and could always be depended on to get his man. XYe are sorry to lose Hubert. 157 CYRIL TESKEY CQnarterback7 lYith two year's experience be- hind him. ..TeCl's knowledge of the game named him as the Oman to handle the team. He not only showed decided ability in this line, but also was a great de- fensive player. Down under every kick Ted was a sure tackler and added much strength to the secondary defence. H53 RALPH MISNER tlnsidel A strong, steady lineman. His defensive work was always uf sterling quality and his ability at interference outstand- ing. Ralph should play a great game this fall. 1183 KEXXETH FRASER CLeft half J Ken and Potter alternated on left half. A good plunger and tast hard ball-carrier, he was always good for a gain. He will be back next fall. C73 ROSS STRAIN CRight halfl Doc's ability to catch and his speed made him an excellent safety man. His tackling fea- tured every game. One of next 'fall's best prospects. 113 DONALD BHCIBBON tRight endl Don was a strong fast run- ner and tenacious tackler. His greatest ability, however, rested in his knack of keeping his op- ponent out of the play and keep- ing himself in it. Don and Jack should make a great pair of ends next season. 623 GORDON PATERSON tfRight halfy Playing his first year with the seniors, Pat started off as Z1 sub. However, his ability to catch and his tricky running made it impossible to keep him on the bench. Another for the coming season.

THE COLLEGIATE ROSS YV. GRAY Again this year as in the past two we must give great credit to our coach Dolly Gray for our success of 1926. His knowledge of the game is apparent when we remem- ber that this is the third successive Wrossa Rugby championship which he has brought to this school. The interest he showed individually to the team inspired the boys to win for him and the S. C. I. ROY BROXYN QManagerj Although over age by only a few days Roy was unable to play. How- ever, he willingly accepted the posi- tion of Manager and looked after the team in a most creditable man- ner. He was always ready to help or encourage the fellows. BEATTY IENNINGS Speaking of our success in 1926, we must gratefully acknowledge the work of Son who assisted Dolly in the coaching duties. One could not possibly find two men such as Mr. Gray and Mr. Jennings who were more faithful coaches, both sacrificing business and leisure hours in the interests of the team.
