4 1bow we 'won he Ganabian 1Rugby3 bampionsbip. UR entry into the Intermediate Intercollegiate last year was indeed an innovation. A new field of battle was open before us, one more suited to our style of play. Its rules permitted our Rev. coach a freer hand in the manoeuvring of his brilliant repertoire of trick plays. The Intercollegiate entry was a wise one. One year's hard, earnest work, together with the best of coaching, produced the inter- mediate title. To pick a champion Hfourteen' out of a pos- sible sixty is certainly worthy of mention. This year's task, however, was destined to be the hardest. Our reputation was made. Can we uphold it? The year started very inauspiciously. The stars of last year's team were late in reporting. spending the earlier part of the season with the Varsity seniors. Circumstances kept the team from practicing till Oct, 13th, when 'fCap. Malone trotted out his new candidates with a few of the seasoned vet- erans for the initial practice. Anyone who has heard of the Rev. coach, need not inquire of the next month's happeningsg how Corkery, Feeney, Beck, Forrestal and Creamer, all raw recruits, were welded in as cogs of the old machine. how the pink of condition, as well as accurate, unified team work, was acquired and how a team was built up, which has not its equal within the historv of inter- mediate football. ' We emerged winners of our series on Oct. 29, a now tried and experienced team ready for the semi-hnals. XVe beat the strong Montreal aggregation on their own grounds and suc- ceeded in doing the same on the return game at the Stadium. our hardest .fought game since we won the Junior Canadian Championship. 98 Our reputation is upheld. but our work is unfinished. Wife must win the Canadian Championship to crown our success. The teams tactics had to be changed. Interference must be discarded which means an entire change of trick plays. The boys entered upon the crucial contest with that confidence and fervor, so characteristic of the wearers of the double blue. The game was never in doubt and as a result we achieved the greatest honour an intermediate team can win in Canada. No individual players can be singled out as stars. A grim. determined will, sacrificing all individual interests for the suc- cess of the team, won the much coveted laurels. The teams are unanimous in acclaiming Davie Mulligan as a great factor in their success and congratulations are due to him in this respect. Father Carr, our Rev. coach, needs no mention. Only the players whom he has coached know and can truly appreciate the value of his work. This includes some of the best Cana- dian exponents of the game. The Globe, perhaps, can give the best appreciation of his work in the fewest words possible: The bewildering repertoire of trick plays uncorked by St. Michaels College yesterday against Hamilton Tigers is a trib- ute to the coaching of Father Carr. The Haniiltonians couldn't keep track of the ball when St. Michael's were in possession. The rapid-fire passing and shifting of the Irish fooled the spectators, too. The lighter, shorter-striding winners shot through great holes in the Tiger line for repeated gains of twenty and thirty yards. There was more strategic football in the national intermediate final than in any three senior games in Toronto this season. -I. E. T.
