92 TI-IE. CO LL EGIATE. McKay was elected Captain with Charles Brush, Manager. Unfor- tunately Beatty fennings, who had coached the team in previous years was unable to devote much of his time this year and consequently the team suffered from the lack of pro- per coaching. Added to this was the appearance at the most critical moments of the time honoured jinx and our quintet was forced to defeat by our old enemy Strathroy in two closely contested games. S. C. I. 8z T. S. 18-Strathroy 27 The iirst scheduled game for the team was on Friday Evening, Jan. 20 with Strathroy. Qwing to the train being an hour late the game which was set for 7.30 did not get under way until IO o'clock. There was a good attendance on hand to see the team start the season with a win but they were disappointed. The lirst quarter was slow as both teams tended to lie back and take things easy. The second quarter livened up, however, and penalties were numerous. Strathroy resor- ted to long shots in which they were very successful and at half time they were leading by three points. The game continued to be close until nearly the end, when superior con- dition and combination told on the school team. The Sarnia team showed the lack of practice through- out. S. C. I. 8z T. S. 16-Strathroy 22 Un the following Friday, the team went to Strathroy to play the re- turn match. At the start the Strathroy team carried the play in- to the Sarnia territory and scored the first basket after which they 'were never headed. The Sarnia forwards showed a great improve- ment in their combination and the guards played a steady game throughout. To single out a star on the Sarnia team would be impos- sible as the whole team played a strong game. The linal score on the round was Strathroy 49: Sar- nia 34. U THE TRACK TEAM The performance of the Track Team in the last few years at Lon- don has shown conclusively that un- less someyradical change is brought about this phase of Boy's Athletics is doomed to die out in our school. lYhether it is the lack of interest or the lack of material or coaching, the writer is unable to answer. Almost forgotten are the memories of the Senior and Junior Championships that were brought to Sarnia in the years 1920-1922. From that time on. there has been a gradual but steady decline in our accomplish- ments in track work, until last year we were only able to win 3rd place in the Senior and Intermediate Shot Put. lt is not the intention of the writer to bring criticism on any of the members of the Track Team who took part in London last year or in any of the previous years. lt does seem, however, incomprehen- sible that, in a school the size of our own, there is not sufficient material which, with coaching, would go far in the attempt to bring back to the S. C. I. 81 T. S. her long lost laurels. lt is true that all this could not be accomplished in one year, but, if a sufficient number of the younger pupils were encouraged and coached the writer has not the slightest doubt that in a few years there would come from the school a Track Team that would bring victory and fame to Sarnia.

94 TI-IE COLLEGIATE Somebody Said- The water in the swimming pool is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. The books of all the pupils, if placed four feet deep over Africa, would- n't cause a murmur of protest. All the glass in the windows of the School, if placed in a pile, would probably be broken. If all the heat manufactured by the boilers was saved up for one week and put into a IO X IO double cast iron tank it would be hot. The heat in Detention could raise the roof 125 degrees Fahrenheit if the pupils didn't do it first. If all the bricks of the School were placed end to end there wouldn't be any high school. If you laid the pupils who go to sleep in class along the main corridors they would rest much better. If all the wads of gum that had been chewn by the students during the month of February were placed en to end it would stretch. George tto clerkj- I say, feller, could you take that red tie with the orange spots out of the window for me?,' Clerk- IYhy. certainly, sir. Pleased to take anything out of the window any time, sir.
