Midland and Collingwood, the school track and field athletes gave a good Hccunt of themselves and won a large number of the events.
We might mention here that the Barrie track is anything but ideal for a track meet. The condition of the track was without a doubt large- ly responsible for the many of the boys failing to qualify for the King-
.ston' Meet. Collingwo·od has a ;far superior track to that of Barrie. And ye editor would like to suggest to the Ontario Athletic• Commission that either the Barrie· Track be im- proved or the place for this meet be changed so that the teams will have a fair chance with those of other districts in qualifying for the finals.

SOFTBALL
The prospect of a softball team did not loom very brightly before us owing to the departure of the exper- ienced players. But the new recruits encouraged by their coach, Mr. Ellis, were taught the arts of the game, after nights of c•areful practice.
C.C.I. A T PENET ANG
On September 28th, we were the guests of Pen~tang. The first game of the season was played in a drizz- ling rain that did its best to discour- age the fans. The C.C.I. worked hard but Penetang could not be defeated and emerged viotorious by a score 11-8.
C.C.I. AT OWEN SOUND
October 5th dawned fair and bright and we journeyed to Owen Sound. The annual events opened with girls' softball and the game proved interesting throughout. 0.8. C.V.I. led during the greater part of the game, but in the sixth inning the C.C.I. nearly tied the score. AI3 luck would have it Owen Sound was the
victor, the score being 17-11.
BARRIE AT C.C.I.
The Barrie girls were our guests on Oc•tober 12th. Owing to the bad temper of the elements the ground was quite slippery. But this didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the girls who were determined to do their bit for the black and yellow. Their ex- cellent team work resulted in a vic- tory, the score being 15-3.
OWEN SOUND AT C.C.I.
The return game was played Oc- tober 26th. Throughout the game, a snappy brand of ball was displayed, and both teams were ev{mly match- ed. But when the game finished O.S.C.V.I. held the larger end of an 8-5 score.
P(ENETANG AT C.C.I.
On Nov. 2nd, Penetang invaded the home of the Black and Yellow for a return game. Both teams play- Pel well and errors were few and fat betw€en. H:3wever it was a lucky day for t'he C:.C.I., emerging victoriou8 by a score 13-10.
