times and was always where he was needed most. He was a splendid tackle and open field runner.

Collingwood at Owen Sound
The Seniors journeyed to: Owen Sound and won a great game by 15-10. Bill Dey was the star of the game. He scored three touchdowns. Near the end of the first period Owen Sound had possession at our 25 yard line. They called an extend. Bill tore through their line and intercepted the pass. He ran the length of the field to score five points. In the second period he made it 10-0 when he scored a touch on a fake pass. Owen Sound came back after half time and scored a nice touch. How- ever, Bill took no chances and scored his third when he picked up a blocked kick and romped home with the bacon. Near the end of the game Owen Sound scored another touch but it was all to no avail.
