scasoned players, has all season been a veritable stone wall to opposing
teams. A large number of the men have turned out for practice con
sistently every morning at 7:30 in both the fall and spring. Under the
tutelage of Dr. Burke and his assistants, they have increased their foot
ball knowledge to such an extent that Big Four” men will undoubtedly
have to watch their step if they are to hold their positions next year.
The long continued and earnest training of the members of the team
bore fruit in the good showing they made in the latter part of their
schedule. After losing several games at the beginning of the term, they
came back to defeat each of their opponents successively and win a place
in the playoffs. In the final game of the year the team was to face the
Meralomas who have long been the chief stumbling block of Varsity in
regard to Canadian rugby. Emulating the actions of the Big Four team
before Christmas, they lost the game by one point as the result of a series
of bad breaks. This wound up an eventful season.
