MAT WORK and<br />
TRACK<br />
The (Ie\"elopment of a Illat team is a<br />
possibility for the future, as a horde of<br />
enthusiastic tumblers turn Ollt for each<br />

are gaining grolllHJ.<br />
SWIMMING<br />
HOCKEY<br />
TEAM<br />
Though the swimming- team has not had<br />
much competitive activity this year, they<br />
have becn practising- faithful1y and are<br />
probably just saving lip for the Hart House<br />
finals. Jarvis has had a good general team<br />
the last few years with few outstanding<br />
stars. There arc good signs for lhe future,<br />
too. with a good crop of hard-working<br />
Juniors and Intermediatcs coming up. \re<br />
think Alex CampOeIl and Dixon Goodrick<br />
should be complimenled here as tireless<br />
organizers. ~Ir. Bowman coaches and arranges<br />
meets for our boys. \re're looking<br />
forward to some good results this year.<br />
Where lhe going is toughesl, Jarvis will be<br />
there fighting hardest.
