THE LARKI TROPHY ELM ER Dinny MORRISON The remarkable combination of athletic ability. sportsmanship, leadership, character and scholarship merited the Larkin Trophy tor lflmer Dinny Nlorrison. Dinny Nlorrison, from Sydney, N. S., ar- rived at St. F. X. in the tall ot 19-lb with an outstand- ing record as an athlete, and his maior tield of sport . . g clurinff the last four vears has been hockev. Stockv, powerful and aggressive he has been a speedy per- LARKIN TROPHY former and this year, as Captain, led the St. F. X. Hockey Team to its lirst Nlaritime Intercollegiate Title since 1946. A man who was a good loser as well 'as an unpretentious winner was the quality largely responsible lor Ijlllllyibl popularity, both as a student and as a hockey player. Not only as an athlete has Dinny proven his ability. Last year he was a member ot' the Students' Activities Committee and the hockey representative lor the A. A. A. Thisyear he was Vice-President of the A. A. A. and was also elected Life Vice-President ofthe Class of '50. Last, but not least, Dinny manages to keep up in his studies while participat- ing so actively either as an athlete or in an administrative position. This is Dinny's last year at St. F. X. and it is not surprising that a man possessing such a rare combination of qualities should win the highly-prized Larkin Trophy. 121

VARSITY FOOTBALL The tioothall season of I9-I9 got away to a good start with the return ot many veterans ot last year along with a sprinkling ot new hopetiuls aspiring to wear the colors ot their Alma Iwater. Once again with Fr. INTHCTQCHITH as mentor the tasli oti molding a squad to delend the Iwaritime Intercollegiate and Senior titles, won in I9-I8 was underway. In their initial encounter ot the year the X men came out on the long end ol 1 a LI-0 score over the Truro Intermediates in an exhihition tilt. I rom the open- ing whistle it was St. F. X. all the way with IVlacNIiIIan and Ifriault starring. The next outing was against the Acadia Axemen with the Xaverians losing this one hy a score ot' 7-5. It was a serious Ioss tor the IVIacIienna men not only in the outcome of the game but also in the tact that they lost the services ol' Porgy Kehoe via injury. On November II, the Varsity men in an exhibition game defeated the No. II Legionaires IO-5. The winners were much too powerful and speedy Ior their opponents. Trailing hy two points in Intercollegiate competition the Xaverians now journeyed to Wvolliville to meet the Axmen in the second game of a two game total point series tor the Nova Scotia Intercollegiate title. Ilere the iwen ot IVIacKenna came out second hest going down to delieat 9--I and losing the round 16-9. Now for the tirst time in the history ol. toothall at St. I9. X. the NIacTier Cup final, emblematic ot' Ifastern Canadian Ifnglish Rughy supremacy was play- ed at IVIemoriaI Field on November I9. A highly rated team ot' Ifnglish Ruggers from IVIacGilI University went down to detieat hetore the Xaverian speedsters by the score of I5-3. The Varsity hack-field play was too much tor the Redmen ot IVIacCiIl to stop. The Xaverians tor this game were strengthened with the services of four former stars I.orne YVhaIen, Colin Iwactiillivary, I.orne Anderson, and Tom Brophy. To Fr. MHCIQCIIHR can he given the highest praise possihle tor the leadership he has given and the time he has spent with the men under his charge. To the student a vote ot' thanks is also extended lor their line support through out the season, support which was greatly appreciated hy each memher oi the team.
