ST. JOHN'S ATHLETICS N. Holmes I. XVillis .-X. Coombcs Xl. Taylor HE year 1931-32 has been characterized by a greater interest in athletics than has been shown for some time. particularly tennis and track. St, John's has long upheld its prestige in other phases of sport and extra-curricular activ- ities, but in past years-perhaps owing to the small- ness of our faculty-we have had very little chance against other faculties which have more students from which to choose material. Although we did not show up brilliantly in the track meet the material brought to light shows great promise for the future. For the first time for many years we held a college tennis tournament which was started as soon as college commenced. This was especially gratify- ing in that it has produced some excellent players. among whom are Mrs. N, Coombes, who won the ladies' singles and later in the season the Inter-faculty championship. and Nonnie Jacob who ran close sec- ond in the college play-offs. Among the outstand- ing men players were Willard Monson and Mac. Taylor. winner of the men's singles. The college track meet was by far the most suc- cessful we have had for some years. Prominent among the men were J. Park, who showed up creditably in the Inter-faculty Track Meet, and Noel Holmes, who won the Schultz trophy for the aggregate number of points at the college Held day. Miss Isabel Willis starred for the co-eds and we hope that she will have great success in the future. All in all, the year has been very successful and we look forward to an even better one next year. Page One Hundred and Eighty-four

November Zlst. marked the failure of the pig- skin chasers to bring home the trophy for the fifth time to St. John's in its short history. The score of 3-2 indicates the dourness of the struggle with Accountancy. The following players presented at all times a well balanced team: LIONEL HARRISON-This year's captain. popularly known as Arry. made a spectacular centre man. A strong factor in the advance of his team to the final. ' H. M. LEAH-Herb, centre half, has been recognized as one of the city's most brilliant players. W. L. MORTON-Inside left. Bill. playing for the third year on the team, secured more than his share of the tallies. G. E. PHILLIPS-Left wing. George, playing like Morton for his third year, was in his consistently good form. A. E. SMITH-Left half. Ted. lanky, rusty-topped, also playing his third year with the team-a stalwart support to Phillips and Morton. G. WALKER-Right half. A sturdy, keen tackler, possesses that never-say-die spirit. E. COOK-Reliable defense. Ed's third year with the team. Here was calmness personified. L. FORSYTHE-At all positions Lorne proved a val- uable player. He formerly played for the St. John's Tech. eleven. H. B. HARPER-Hank, under fire for the first time on the squad, proved his worth and should de- velop into a useful wing man. MAC. SMITH-Inside right. Specially neat fool- work and a lightning drive. MAC.

l ST. JOHN'S D COMPANY C.O.T.C. S per usual D company of the Canadian Officers' Training Corps held an un- usually prominent place among the extra-curricular activities of the men at the college. Keen enthusiasm was shown on all occasions. and this support given by the members of all ranks augurs well for the Company retaining the General Proficiency shield for the ensuing year. This year the Annual Don Company Dinner was held at the St. Charles Hotel, and an excellent repast was followed by several cryptic speeches and spicy toasts and later by a number of original and entertaining items that were supplied by the mem- bers of the Corps. The annual dinner and dance for the entire Uni- versity C.O.T.C., at the Royal Alexandra Hotel, was also well attended and enjoyed by the would-be soldiers of St. John's. The more important vacancies caused by the retirement of this year's oiiicers were competently replaced by J. O. Anderson, F. McKenney and J. E. Barrett. All of these men were successful in ob- taining their commissions this year. D Company roll for the past year was as follows: Sixth Row- J. Hollies. E. Dosset, C. Bishop, N. Waitt, J. Johnson.
