THE COLLEGIATE 115 BOYS' ATHLETIC EXECUTIVE A Back Row-W. Turnbull. J. Lewis, NV. Claxton, G. Moore. Front Row-A. Hayne, K. Bell, Mr. Mendizabal, S: Ferguson, V. Norwood. BOYS' ATHLETIC EXECUTIVE Last year saw a complete re- organization of the Boys' Athletic Executive. The members were e- lected by ballot and there was a representative from every activity of the sp-ort and athletic side of the school. The representative in each case was in charge of his section and was fully responsible for the way in which the activity was car- ried out. Meetings were held when the occasion demanded and a keen interest was shown by the members. The Assault-At-Arms and swim- ming meet were sponsored by the Executive and due to their efforts and the efforts of our gymnasium instructor, Mr. Mendizabal, were pronounced an outstanding success, both financially and in that they were enjoyed by all. It is hoped that the start given by the Executive this year will not be let down in successive years and that the work will be carried on with the same standard of efficiency as belfore. The representatives are as follows: Cadets- Kenneth Bell Rugby- Gordon Moore Hockey- Walter Claxton Boxing- Jack Lewis Gym Work- Bill Turnbull Basketball- George Clark Shooting- Vin-cent Norwood Track- Andrew Hayne Swimming- Stanley Ferguson SENIOR RUGBY S.C.I. 17-Old Boys 13 Pessimistic supporters of the S-en- ior Collegiate team were treauted to a pleasant surprise when the S.C.I. clashed with the Old Boys on Sat- urday, Sept. 14. The Old Boys were heavy favourites to win from the w.nmLl'.s'v .n mere shadow of the team which had won the Dominion Cihampionshiip in '28, Burt the Colflegians surprised everyone. The game was played at the Athletic Park before one of the largest crowds to witness the annual clash. Gordon Paterson

114 THE COLLEGIATE nerbulrlriw lnullnlal new as ' I 4 This ye-ar the schoo-l fell do-wnbadly in competitive W.O.S.S.A. sports. However, we in the school think ourselves a better bunch of fellows physic- ally, than has been the case for a number of years. Tlhis is due chiefly to the increased use of the gym and the untiring work of Mr. Mend-izabal. On the other hand to the graduates we must look l-ike real terrible slackers , as they deemed it an unpardonable sin to lose a rugby game to S-t. Thomas. After all, we had to lose sfome'tim-e, and St. Thomas, of all t.he other teams in Western Ontario, was the most deserving to win tzhe W.O.S.S.A. At the first of the year it looked as if the S.C.I. -Sz T.S. would again have a powerful rugby mach-ine, but in the dasah for the .tape they faded badly, lacking weight and experience. Next season sfhould be a different story, most of this ye'ar's team fw'il'l return, addi-tional weight and experience will have been added, and 'players will graduate from this year's good little Second Team. S't. Thomas! beware! f Both the Basketball and Hockey teams reached a low ebb this year. However, the Hockey Team deserves credit for having enough courage to even enter a team. This year, for the firslt time, we -had a Junior Basketball Team, and many promwissing players were developed. We firmly believe that under Mr. Mendizabal's coac.hing, Senior Basketball will return to its former gloryl p The most successful track meet in years was held this year, with a largeinumber of en-tries in a-ll boys' events. This also speaks well for the future. ' Two Swimming fM-eets, an Assault-at-Arms, and a Gym Display have been run off very successfuly during the year. But more encouraging than anything else is the fact tihat the boys have been organized as never before, and the Boys' Athletic Association is at last a real live wire.

Fraser. kicked to the dead line for the first point in the f-irst quarter. The sec- ond quarter developed into a kick- infg duel between Gord. Paterson and G. Clarke, with the latter hav- ing the betlter of it. The feature of the first half was when Van Horne ran for fifty yards and a touchdown. Half time score was 4-6 for the Old Boys. Norm Geary was the star of the second half, with a run of forty yar-ds and a touch- down to his credit. For the S.'C.l. Moore, Clark, and Bell stood out, although the wihole team played well. There were numerous in- fringements of the rules, much to the S.C.I's advantage. S.C.l. 53-London Central 7 The opening game of the VVOSSA was he-ld at the Athletic Park, Sat- urday Oct. 19, when the S.C.I. tr-oun- ced Lon-don Central 53-7. The homesters fha-d their own way throughout the con-test, although the London team never stopped fighting. The Sarnia team was much heavier an-d score-d touch- downs at wilnl. London introduced the forward pass with fair success, as the-ir major s-core was the result of this play. S'arnia's score was gained on nine touchdowns, five of which were converted and one field goal. S.C.l. 25-London Central 0 ln the return game London Cent- ral was decisively defeated 25-O, the S.C.l. taking the round 78-7. The Lond-on team put up a much more stubborn battle than the pre- vious week. However, Sarnia failed to take the game seriously or the score might have been doubled. Dinty Moore was the outstanding' star of the game. Isbisfter and Bell netted five points each bu-t O'Field was 'high scorer with ten points to his credit. Grant and Lawson were the best for London and deserve much credit. S.C.l. 19-Windsor 1 The first game of the WOSSA finals was hel-d in Sarnia on Nov. 2 against Kennedy Collegiate. The flirsft half saw the determine-d Wined- sor crew hold our team to a I-I score, buit the S.C.I. team ran wild in the second ha-lf, dh-alking up I8 points. Some great plunging by Ken Bell and sensational running by Dinty Moore swept the Windsor
