over for a touchdown. An Owen Sound man attempted to kick the ball back after Portland had booted it over and the kick was caught by Davidson for another touchdown. Owen Sound snatched the game from our lads in the last half, winning by 1 point. This reverse was largely due to the efforts of Elliott and MacDon- ald, stellar players of Owen Sound. The game ended 15-14.
Collingwood vs. Barrie Oct. 25
This game was perhaps the hard- est fought of the season. Portland kicked 3 points in the first quarter but the last quarter found the Bat'- rie team leading with a score of 13- 8. The local team settled down and obtained a touch to tie the score. Then, they went wild and charged into what Mr. Stapleton aptly term- ed a mob of maniacs and rolled up the field to give Portland the chance to boot over the deciding point. Stor- ey handled his team in real style while Portland and 'Dopp did well for the C.C.I. and Dyment again starred for Barrie. Final score 14-13 for Col- lingwood.
Owen Sound vs. Collingwood Nov. 8
This game decided the senior sec- tion of the G.B.R.F.L. in a way which left nothing to be desired from a Collingwood standpoint. In thf~ first and second lJedod .PfJrtland scored two points in kicks and then Storey played through for a touch-
down. · IrJ the last stage.s Portland .scored five nice points via the aerial ·route. Rice and Scott block3d kicks very ,effectively while Bern- hardt and Topp turned back many an attempt on the C'wood line. Dur- ing the third period an unfortunate accident occurred to Herb Sproule, who suff•ered a fractured jaw. Thi;; is the only serious accident which has occurred in school rugby for many years. The Collingwood ,sen- iors have now won the Elmslie cup which is given for the championship t eam ot the league.
SENIOR LINE-UP
Jack Portland-Captain and star centre half. His spectacular kicking and running had much to do with our victories this year. When Jack broke away he was satisfied with nothing less than a touchdown and very often neither he nor the fans were disappointed.
Bob (Red) Storey-Quarter back, Bob developed into a first class field general and incidentally one of the best quarters the .school has had in some years. He was one of the chief scoring threats of the senior team.
Jack Potts-Inside wing. A new- comer to the ranks of gridders who cinched his position with a bang.
Erie Scott-Middle wing. Scotty's motto was "They shall not pass." and believe us they didn't get by him in a hurry.
George Shipley-Middle wing. An- other big boy who proved a stone wall to the enemy. }Ie went through the line like a baby tank and never missed a tackle.
Walter Rice-Inside Wing. Walt. was a pain in the neck and other places, to the opposing teams but he was a he1·o to us.
Francis Rice-Snap. The main- stay of the line and it was seldom anything but through the centre. He specialized in blocking Elliott's kicks.
Jack Kenny-Inside wing. Jack was right there when it came to tackling, He didn't wait for them, to come to him but went after them behind the line.
Herb Sproule-Flying wing. Herb was a thorn in the side of the oppos- ing halfbacks and brought them down none too gently.
Don McKay-Right half. One of the best broken field runners in the school. He did fine work on the sec- ondary defence
Tom Davidson-Left half. We
