This season the boys won three. and lost three. games. and tied one. Woodstock scored in every game and on two occasions held their opponents without a score.

His end running and neat tackling won the admiration of everyone who saw him in action, and he led in scoring. Mow- CT. fullback, could be depended on to plough through the line at any time, and he kicked for all the extra points.
