Although somewhat delayed since the end of the rugby scason the din- ner was none the less successful and brought together once again the team that won the Intermediate O.R.F.U. Championship last fall and advanced to ghe semi-finals of the Dominion The executive of the club took the opportunity to present to each member of the team the crests which they had won as champions Just year; the presentations being made by Ross McKinnon, a past president of the club, Following the dinner which was all that the most exacting connoiseur could ask, Russell Wilber took charge of the gathering, He stated that as many of the players were aware the General Motors were not sponsoring sporting activities this year, but he felt sure that the Blue Devils would be back in the fight for the honors when fall came round. He then called upon Mayor Marks. As the representative of the city, Mayor Marks stated that he felt he owed the club an apology. The city council, he said, should be. giving the team a banquet as a mark of appre ciation for the honors that the team has brought to Oshawa, instead of the team being his hosts, In the sporting world, His Worship contin. ued, a town is known by what hon« ors are brought to it by its teams, In speaking of Montreal, one at once thinks of it as the home of the world's rofessional hockey champions. In a ike manner Oshawa is known as the home of a great rugby team, We must realize that these achievements must be recognised, His Worship promised amid a burst of cheering that if the team were successful this year, that he would use his influence to stage one of the biggest banquets ever held in the city in. their honor. That there were enough good sports in the city to sce the club through the next season, was the opinion ex- Yh ( A | W Lump r (© JURY & LOVELL'S OPTICAL PARLORS J. W. Womill, Oph. D.

Rugby Mr, McKinnon felt, and the fal pastime is due to have a most suce cessful reception, in the city, this fall, 'The city was very fortunate, Mr. McKinnon added, to have a man of Mr. Marks' calibre as its mayor. Nowhere in this country is there a better sportsman and it is going to help the club in a big way, asserted the speaker, Mr, McKinnon then drew the attention of the team to the O.R.F.U, Intermediate Trophy, which adorned the head table. Oshawa were the first winners of the trophy, he said, which had been presented to the Union by "Bert" Harper, of Ham- ilton, in memory of "Toot" Lecky, of Queen's, Mr. McKinnon made the presentation of the crests to each player of the team with a well turned biography addressed to each man which gave a most interesting side light on the parts played by each. H. W, Nicoll advised the team not to take their defeat at the hands of R.M.C. last year too much to heart. Weather conditions were against the team on that occasion, he stated. With regard to the question of General Motors withdrawing their support from athletic activities, Mr, Nicoll stated that the year had been a quiet one; and that another year may be entirely different, Three reasons were advanced by "Wally" Clark for the success of the team last year, The team won, Mr. Clark said, first, for the honor of the city, second, for the General Motors, and third, because the team were Blue Devils, Much of the credit for the showing of the team however was due to the coaching given by "Liz" Walker, who he felt had given a great deal of time that he could ill afford. His one regret, Mr. Clark asserted, was that the team had not given their coach a dominion championship. As a mark of the appreciation felt by the members of the team for the interest taken in them, Mr, Clark presented Coach Walker with a handsome travelling bag. : Coach Walker, in expressing his thanks to the club for the gift which had been presented to him, asserted that the team was made up of men who were a pleasure to associate with and rivalled any which he had been with during his career. . "My one aim is to win a dominion championship. To win it for you ra- ther than for myself," stated Coach Walker, "With what you earned last year, you can do it," he asserted. He also expressed the hope that the team would be intact for another season together, Fine Bill At Arena Tues. 1t all depends upon the Oshawa sportsmen and sportswomen whether this city is to become a wrestling centre and grapplers of the calibre of Jim Londos, Jim McMillen, Dick Shikat, are to Le brought here.

And this is not such a difficult thing as it sounds. Oshawa being such a short distance from Toron- to, famous wrestlers could be brought here after showing at the Queen City and thus eliminate the huge expense of transportation, etc, as most of the outstanding wrestlers are from different points across the line.
