THE TWIG regulars, the team played perfect rugby, and held the opponents to a 6-6 tie. Their last game with St. lVlichael's resulted in a l3-3 loss, thus giving the Saints the group cham- pionship, as they had defeated De La Salle twice previously. ln the final game at De La Salle with nothing at stake, the team played splendidly, and outpointed the opponents 6-l. It would be unfair to the team as a whole to pick out stars, as each player gave his best in every game, however a vote of thanks must be paid to Mr. Langdon and Mr. Pollock, both of O.C.E.., who as coaches gave unsparingly of their time and ability.

The members of the team would like to congratulate them for their fine work. Ken Maclaren-manager-one of the best managers the team ever had. He was on hand for all games and every practice, and carried out his position most satisfac- torily. Good work. The thanks of the team are due, Ken. The school was fortunate in again having the nationally known rugby coach, Mike Rodden. Mike has been with the school for fifteen years and deserves a great deal of praise for his excellent coaching. Duke lVlcCurry assisted Mike with the coaching chores. l-le was a man of experience and certainly gave the boys some pointers. The team wishes to thank these two for their un- tiring effort this year, and we hope for many years to come. 145 LB. TEAM The season of I935 saw the formation of a new league in school rugby. Known as the High School Junior League , it con- sists of teams averaging l45 lbs., with a maximum weight of l 55 lbs., for any player. The U.T.S. team was grouped with De La Salle and St, lVlichael's College. The season opened with a game at St. lVlike's, in which the experience of the opponents told against us, the Saints win- ning l3-0. The next encounter was an ex- hibition game at Aurora, where after a close battle St. Andrew's finally emerged victors with II to our l0. The team then took on Western Tech Juniors in another exhibition tilt, the game resulting in a 2-2 tie. The next game brought U.T.S. and St. Andrew's together again, and here the schools put up a splendid fight, winning handsomely 29-6. ln the first game with De l..a Salle, though handicapped by the absence of several
