THE COLLEGIATE l25 ROSS WILFRED GRAY, lVl.P. DOLLY HO of us was not pleased to hear of Dolly's election by ac- clamation to the Dominion Parlia- ment early this year?' Our feeling of pleasure was tempered. however, by regret that this new success would make it necessary for him to retire as active coach of our Senior Rngby Team. XVe regarded this announcement as inevitable, but we nevertheless were very sorry to hear Dolly officially confirm it at the Team's Banquet at the Blue Xliater lim. on January 26. lt is a great loss to the School generally and Rugby especially, but we are all one in wishing him every success in his new career. YVe cling to the hope, though, that he will continue as coach in an honorary capacity. lf his success at the school can be taken as a criterion, Dolly is assured beforehand of a brilliant future. His record has been an enviable one- one that will not be equalled any- where. ln the five years since 19.24, when he became coach on -lack New- ton's retirement, he has guided his teams to five XYossa Championships four Ontario finals, one Ontario Championslhip and one Dominion Championshlip. This is indeed a mark for his suc- cessors to aim at. The teams were not ready-made either: they had to be built up and welded together by good coaching and wise leadership. Toronto and Hamilton opponents in those years will tell you that, win or lose, Sarnia Cl and T.S. had a te-am worthy of the name. Dolly has done more than this though. ln those five years, he has come into the closest contact with probably a hun- dred boys. Into each of these boys he has installed his own'creed-to play the game fo-r the game's sake- to play hard yet cleanly-to work with the others and work the best- to always hold up the traditions of the Old School and win well or lose gamely-in other words to be a true sportsman. If Dolly has succeeded in doing this, and we feel he has done it, he has indeed achieved his aim. So well has this end been ac- complished that. at the annual ban- quet, Mr. John DeGruchy stated that Sarnia C.I. teams had the repu- tation of being the most gentle- manly bunch of players in the OR. FU., while Jerry Goodman declared that in three years of refereeing, he had yet to see a Sarnia player pull a deliberately shady play. Dolly's efforts have been well rewarded. There is no boy who has not bene- fited from his experience on the team because of this contact with his coach. Each boy who has had this good fortune has felt this, and been proud of his association with Dolly. The contact has been close. very close indeed. with many trying circumstances and critical moments, but both boys and coach have come through firmer friends. VVe boys all feel, in fact, that we have gained a real friend, to whom we can al- ways go to claim friendship's due. Dolly may have retired, but to us he is still, and always, Coach , and we feel the richer for our acquaintance with him. Vfe know his aim has been to make good sportsmen of us. and we feel ourselves that he has accomplished this. His influence will go beyond the gridiron too, just as we feel Dolly meant it to. These principles, which he has taught us in Rugby, applied to Life will make Life better because of them. XYe all have a most profound re- spect for The Coach . His even- tempered, kindly, helpful leadership and instruction has been a good ex- ample for harmony in the team. Commands have been requests, the purpose of which has always been apparent.
