Alina '- 1926 'l,lear BooPc+ , ifaigb Qtbunl Rugby p Thc football season in the minor leagues was a banner one this term. Upwards of two hundred high school boys battled daily on the back campus for the supremacy of the various leagues. The games were always hotly contested, and what the youngsters lacked in smart foot- ball they made up for with the seriousness with which they took their rugby. The smallest of the kid-gridders were grouped in the Midget League. The Reds, VVhites and Blues trotted out strong little teams every game, with the W'hites besting the Reds for the laurels. The Reds suffered a serious loss in mid-season when Frank Mallon, a budding athlete in various branches, was lost to his family and the school. I The junior Bantams came next in the size and weight distinction. This league was composed of three squads, the Argos, Varsity and Queerfs. The Argos proved the best of the lot when they defeated their contenders in the play-offs after a tough struggle. The Senior Bantams provided the class of the union. The old rivalry between the day scholars and boarders was as keen as ever, and Father Burke's group afforded a good chance for the house-men to get at non-boarders. The games in this group were productive of very clever football, and good turnouts witnessed every fixture. The day scholars proved to have a slight edge on the resi- dents, and the fmal game for the league title went to Alex. Connacher's squad. Conney did the kicking for the champs., with Schmidt, Vince and Fitzgerald on the back-field. Moran and Crudden divided the snap duties. Sharpe, LaBelle and Killingsworth played the inside positions. Roche and McCarney were the middle wings. Hickey, Colapinto, Latchford and Finnegan looked after the outside assignments.

Father Forner handled the team, and had a hard time picking out the right squad from the forty odd men who turned out. The juniors have given a good account of them- selves in the last two years, and' junior football should be here to stay from now on. Father Forner's squad started the season right by defeating Varsity juniors 3-2 and smothering the first team from McMaster University in both starts. Varsity, however, came back strong in the return game with double blue, and earned the right to enter a play-off for the group honors. In the play-ohfs the Blue and 'White squad ousted the Irish for the league laurels and went on to win the Dominion championship. It was no disgrace, however, to lose to a team which picks from a ive thousand student body. In the junior Intercollegiate there is no age limit, and the distinction is solely one of class. Dave Trottier looked the pick of the team when he was on the junior roster before moving up to the inter- mediates, and when he left, Frank Irvine enjoyed the limelight. Frank kicked a good game all season, and was prominent in the back-held plays. Bill Regan bolstered the line considerably in his short sojourn with the team before moving up to the hrst squad. Herb Daly 'called the plays and was always dependable. Benoit proved a good centre man. Ferg. Sheely put the team well on its way to the group honors as long as he stayed with the team, but was lost to the squad in the play-offs when he turned in his lot to strengthen the intermediates. The team was ably managed by Dick I-Iannah.
