To be com p I e t e. education must be of a physical nature as well as mental and since our manual tells us that knowledge getting is inseparably associated with physical activities, it is only titting that the Normal boys of I037 should participate in sports. Iiarly in October, under the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Mus- tard the boys organized an .Xthletic .Xssociation, and showed keen judg- ment in appointing a very line com- mittee with Bob Howitt as presi- dent. Un of the features of the Normal School sports was that practically every boy, irrespective of his experience or ability, partici- pated in at least one sport. This is good evidence of the fine Spirit displayed around the school. MENS' Sf'1Ill'tl -Mr. XVhyte. Pres. Slruzdiizg-fB. Macljonald, ATHLETICS l VOLLEYBALL More students took part in volleyball than in any other sport. This was only right as it is the game most popular in our schools. A house league was formed in january, from which the Bull- dogs captained by Ross Bailey, emerged as champions after several hard and gruelling games. A very strong team represented Toronto in the Inter-Normal meets. Both Hamilton and Stratford were decisively beaten by our team. I It was a treat to see Anson I Taylor make a two-hand spike which nailed the opponents in their tracks. F. Colgans great serving was a main factor in our victory over Stratford.

Although Dons coaching was admirable throughout, this arrangement always leaves much to be desired. ln spite of this rather cramped situation, the team played in- spired basketball in both inter-Normal games, and, according to the consensus of opinion among the spectators, the two mens basket- ball games were the most interesting to watch of all inter-Normal sports. ' Several exciting exhibition games were played with Riverdale, Oakwood and Forestry ttf of T.J, although we usually came out on the short end of the score-sheet. The highlight of the season was the Stratford-Toronto game which was fast, clean, nerve-racking basketball until the final whistle. Strat- ford I3, Toronto 9 was the final scoreg and the game was just as close as the score indicates. Page Forty-six One gratifying and practically unknown feature is that several of the players were novices to the game. Hats off to Ford, Greenwood, Martin, and Parkin who are in that category. They may have been rookies in point of experience but they played like veterans. The teams: Kearns Fliover Ford .... Lanky and brainy. Norman 'tNorm Greenwood ..... A bundle of surprise. Roy Chares King .... Fighting side by side with Jardine. Alex Pepper Jardine .... Get in and fight! Don Coach MacLean .... You tell 'em coach. Isaiah Ike Martin . . . Centre man par excellence. Bruce Bouncer MacDonald tCaptainJ .... 1001 sterling. Oscar Awk Morrison ....i LX bsolutely unruffled. Herbert t'Tarz Parkins .... He must be related to Dihlaggis. Richard Dick Welwood ..... A nother blonde whizz! Robert Bah Wheatstone .... Very reliable. I would like to extend on behalf of the team our sincere thanks to Mr. Keefe and all others who helped to make such a successful season for the team. R. King.
