TUDHOPE MEET By Bob Wright
This year's C.C.I. entry in the Tudhope meet was our strongest bid made for the trophy in several years. Recovering from our wartime eclipse in athletics, and led by the brilliant running of Wally "Kower" Cook, our track team fought the powerful entries from Midland, Orillia and Barrie, and it was not until the last event that we were nosed out. For our second
track meet, in two days, we had perfect weather, and the track was in top shape.
Barney "Gunder" Walmsly sparked our Junior cause, backed by Ed. San- dell, Bob lvey, Graham Leonard and Don Crosbie. Barney showed his heels to the field in the half mile, and pulled in a second in the running broad jump, and a third in the 220 yard dash. Ed. Sandell sailed into a first in the pole vauJ,t, and brought home a third in the 100 yard dash. Graham Leonard was best in the high jump, and Bob Ivey won a third in the shot put.
In the Intermediate class, Jack Miller was our best, capturing second place in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Paul Pursiainen contributed 3 points, with a third in the pole vault, and a fourth in the hop, step, and jump. Chuck Hudson won a third in the half mile, and Harold Whitehead and Gra- ham Crosbie added two more points.
The C.C.I. Seniors led the way in the track events, with Wally Cook carrying the mail for us, but Doug Kettle of Midland piled up a large margin in the field events. This was Wally's stiffest competition since the Dominion meet in Hamilton last spring. Reg Roach from Barrie, and Kettle and
Bill Thompson of Midland pushed him to the limit, but were nosed out each time in the last few yards. <;::ook won firsts in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the mile race, came in second in the running broad jump, and sparked the Collingwood relay team to another first. John Sommerville won third
place in the Senior shot put, and Paul
Yan Nest and Bob Fryer added three
more points.
The meet wasn't finished until
after seven o'clock that evening and car headlights had to be used to light up the pole vault standards. Present- ation of the awards was made at a dinner in the school auditorium. Midland carried home the M. B. Tud- hope Cup for the second successive year, and Doug Kettle of Midland won
the day's individual honours.
W e were privileged to see some
of the best runners in the province here for the meet. Roach from Barrie, Kettle from Midland, and our own W ally Cook, have all been. mentioned for Canada's future Olymp1c Team.

SPRING TOURNAMENTS GOLF AND TENNIS
Don Dique, XILI
One of these beautiful Saturday afternoons in May, the Nelsons and the Sneads of the C. C. I. will go into ac- twn in their first Annual Golf Tour- nament. They shall be smashing their way over the course once, while at the same time, shooting for a trophy. For the young chaps under sixteen, there shall be a five stroke handicap and the St. Andrew's rules shall be followed. The competitors should familiarize themselves with the ground rules. Well this is the green light for those holes- in-one, and par smashing thirty-fives.
Also during this merry month of May, the tennis fiends shall have a chance of beating each other. In the near future, grass courts are to be set up at the school, but in the meantime we are hoping to acquire the Bryan Court for ·practising. There will be singles matches with all boys eligible, but no handicap. The winner of the best two out of three shall be declared winner. So, you Dramers and Park- ers come on out and show your stuff. These are our plans for May, and here's hoping that they all come off.
