THE T WI G SENIOR SCHOOL BASEBALL With only a few more shopping days until Christmas, and Jack Frost decorating the store windows, baseball is not, we might say, in the air. However you will recollect in a somewhat dim fashion a few of the senior ball games, and we prod your memory with a few of the season's high spots. VI and IVB were too busy batting their school-bags around, and as the season drew to a close, V and IVA were left holding the bags, with V nearer the home-plate. Rivalry between these two teams has always been keen, and the final game has become a perennial fixture. Anderson tossed the ball for V and incidentally tossed IVA into the background. Boddington and Frewer were stalwarts for IVA, while Ritchie and Miller aided in capturing the colours for boys of Form V. SENIOR SCHOOL INTERFORM HOCKEY The forms which entered this league were: sixth, fifth, 4A, 4B, and a team representing the combined third forms. The games were played in the seclusion of the Aura Lee grounds, during the latter part of the season. Unsuitable weather resulted in poor ice, con- sequently the brand of hockey displayed was not by any means phenomenal, and the schedule remained uncompleted. The 4B- ites, having won all their games, were fin- ally declared champions, but were neverthe- less happy to find that adverse conditions prevented further dispute over their doubt- ful supremacy. 156 JUNIOR BASEBALL Last Spring, ZA won the Junior Baseball Championship of the Senior School. The league was composed of teams representing Forms IA, ZB, ZA, 3B, and 3A, and each team played a double schedule. Form ZA finished in first place with 7 wins and I loss and were acclaimed champions. Forms IA, and 3A, also had strong teams and made it more than interesting for the leaders. Out- standing on the ZA line-up were: I-I. Young, W. Young, Shavers, Cranston, and Rice. The Team: Smythies, C.: Rice, P.: Young, W., IB, Young, I-I., ZBQ Wardell, S.: Dickinson, 3B: Shaver, F.: Cranston, C.F.: Dales, R.F. Subs: Gandier, Greene, Andrews, Strathy, Donovan. MINOR BANTAM C The Minor Bantam C Team, in their first season of Minor Bantam I-Iockey, was grouped with De I..a Salle, St. lVlike's West and U.T.S. B. Five games were played. Our first encounter was with De La Salle, and U.T.S. finished on the short end of a three to two score. In the next game, we were more successful in beating U.T.S. B by a score of three to two. We apparently fell into a slump for the three remaining games, losing to St. lVIike's, U.T.S. B , and De La Salle respectively. The Team: Goal: Stinson, defence: Kerr, Reid: centre: G, Ball: right wing: Ci. Lawrence: left wing: D. Bohme. Subs: Rance, I-Iop- kins, I-lines, Renaud, Todd.

THE TWIG fi '15 L:- , E.ditor's note-No nasty remarks about the jokes in this column: you may be old and feeble some day yourself. This column is a great work that's not to be laughed at. Well do l remember that day in old Madrid. l sallied forth for my first meal alone, and entering a restaurant l spent five futile minutes trying to order steak and mushrooms from the stupid waiter who obviously didn't know how to speak his own language. Finally, l grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper and drew a realistic picture of a cow and half a dozen toadstools. ln ten minutes the obliging waiter was back with-guess what-six umbrellas and a ticket to the bull-fight, Ethiopia should make Joe Louis a dip- lomat. l-le could handle the Italians with gloves. Dale calls his girl grapefruit because every time he squeezes her she hits him in the eye. lf' Q f m 5 fr - H Y - ML...

Sir , wrote the indignant mother to the schoolmaster, uyou mustn't whack my Tommy. l-le isn't used to it. At home we never hit him except in self-defense. A Scottish preacher, caught in a rain- storm, entered the vestry dripping wet. As the time drew near for the service to begin, he kept saying, Oh, l wish l were dry! D'ye think l'm dry? D'ye think l'm dry eneuch noo? Don't worry was the re- ply, Ye'll be dry eneuch when you get in the pu'pit. Mr. Workman: What's all that noise back there? Geometry Stude: Oh, l just dropped a perpendicular, sir. I-le: The boss offered me a partnership in the firm to-day. She: Noi He: UYes, he said if l didn't take an interest in the firm, he'd can me.
