H. G. Perry Presented Members of Victorious Team With Individual Medals. McBride football team staged a banquet at the Empress theatre ^Wednesday evening, August 5th. on the occasion of presentation of the Perry cup, which was won by McBride from Prince George, 4 to 1, on July tst, at Prince George. The theatre was filled to capacity, many guests having come from outside points. D. W. Hay, president of the McBride Football association, proposed the toast to the king, after which he called upon Samuel Birken-head, captain of the McBride team, for a few remarks. Mr. Birkenhead said he .was proud of the honor of having been captain ¦of the team, which was successful in winning the game on July 1st, which gave them the Perry cup. The Perry cup, he explained, was. a challenge cup donated by H. G. Perry, M.L.A.. to encourage the game of football at Prince George. . Although the people of McBride state they have won the Perry cup, it being a challenge cup can never be won. He went on to say his team had fought hard to get the cup for four years, and had been defeated three times out of four. He was sorry to say that some of the McBride players took defeat very hard at- times, but nevertheless they were always ready to make another attempt. "Now that we hold the cup I hope the present tpem will hold together and defend it for the next three years at least, by which time the coming generation should be able to retain the McBrideho'nors." H. G. Perry received a splendid reception. He stated he was fully acquainted wjt-h the game of football and toolc - great interest in it. Four years ago Prince George began to 1 iveff up to the game, and to keep the^interest up he had donated the <5hallenge cup. how quick It was pleasing to the various teams sprang up, for it was no time before the Prince George George, Vanderhoof had teams in the Vets, Prince and field. McBride Prince George had been able to hold on to the cup for the past three yeSrs, but he regretted that owing to so much interest being taken of late in other sports such as baseball, etc., the Prince George team had not been able to keep their team up to strength so as to continue the hold they had on the cup. He went on to point out that association football was the national game in the United, Kingdom, and as so many of the people of Canada in their younger days enjoyed this game he would like to see the interest kept up to standard. ' Of late there were new teams that have sprung up in other parts of "the district and there will be great competition for next vear. He stated he the had cup had twelve medals made and he would present these to the players of Me-Bride winning team who were successful in holding the Perry cup for 1925. He called upon Captain Birkenhead H. S. Pedlar, T. Clay. P. Eyers, F. Edmonds, E. Wynne, R. Keats, W. H. Tipton, C. McNab, W S. Birkenhead, H. C. Poulson and F. Newton and to each he presented a medal of which the McBride boys arc justly proud. The challenge cup was then duly christened and handed over to the McBride football team to hold. D. W. Hay then called upon Thos. R. Lloyd. McBride football coach. Mr. Lloyd said it was a great pleasure to attend such a fine banquet, especially on the occasion of the team he was so much interested in being presented with the Perry challenge cup for which the players had fought so hard during the past four years. He told of how the McBride players had taken defeat with a smile for three years, and stated they were bent o"n keeping, up the fight until they managed to obtain their objective which was reached July 1st of this vear, when they gave Prince Be Sure You Get The Genuine GILLETT'S FLAKE LYE til the challenge teams would, call upon them to defend their present hold on the Perry challenge cup. He was pleased to see that the younger boys of the town were taking an interest in the game and trusted that every encouragement would be held out to them, as it would not be long before these lads would be needed to fill vacancies in the team left by the older players......................... .....¦_ Rev. H. E. Ashford, in response to the call of the chair, told the gathering how he felt toward football and athletics in general. To. the lover of athletics nothing surpassed the thrill of welcoming home a winning team. Such a thrill had been his when he assisted in wel- coming the local their successful boys trip home from to Prince George on Dominion Day, bringing with them the Perry cup emblematic of the football supremacy of the district. In their last excursion to Prince George they had proven the old adage that the hardest man to beat is he who can laugh in the face of defeat. For four years they had come back smiling, but the last time they wore the smile not of the vanquished but of the conquerors. He intimated that by looking over the personnel of the team some light might be had as to how they managed to win the victory. First he placed Birkenhead. Next came Wynn. The people of McBride refused to consider the word "lose" with Wynn on the team. Next came Clay, for balance or stability and enabling the players to keep their feet upon the ground. Since God saw fit to make man out of clay, McBride could do no better than by fashioning a football player out of the same stuff, smiling Tipton. Then there was the The man who could tip a ton would be an effective force in tipping over the players from Prince George. It would not be fair to overlook McBride's attenuated goalkeeper, Pedlar. The record of the decisive match showed he had delivered the goods. In referring to the cup which was passed arouno' to the banqueters the speaker referred to the quotation as to "the cup which clears of past regrets and future, fears." McBride. he said, did not regret its past failures and with its present prospects had no fears for the future. "WJ. A. E. Wall informed the gathering he was proud of the McBride boys in winning the Perry cup, and there was great credit due to the boys and town considering there were only twelve to fifteen men to pick a team from. He thought there was no other town of the size of McBride that could turn out such a football team as McBride has kept up for the past four years. The chairman then called upon W. H. Br'yne. who stated he did not intend to miss saying a few words. Although he has left McBride to reside at Red Pass he still ha'* the interest of McBride at heart, and it was a disappointment to him to have been unable to ko to Prince George and play with the team this year, as he had done in previous years, but he would see to it that he would be in a position next season. joyable times had at Prince George and spoke very highly of the efforts of Mr. Perry to keep up the interest to join in the game He spoke of the en- George a beating larger than they in football. had received for the past four years. D. W, Hay called upon E. Wynne. He paid high respect to the clean sportsmanlike play of Prince George in the past games, and there was no doubt but that the best team proved to be the winner each year. He stated that the four years McBride team had visited Prince George with their supporters that Mr. Perry and Prince George citizens had put themselves out to the utmost to give all an enjoyable time and make the visit a pleasant one. in which they certainly succeeded. He. took this opportunity to thank Mr. Perry and all Prince George citizens for their kindness to McBride football team and suporters on July 1st of the past four years. He thanked the McBride townsfolk^ for their financial support and the support given by ice games ;rs to keep turning out and enccrariagini! the Mr. Wynne regretted that time did not permit him to make but a few remarks, and he was pleased to see such a good gathering. He spoke well of the players in the team, and wished to move a vote of thanks to the ladies and those responsible for!' the evening's banquet. j Mr. Perry responded by saying he | personally wished to thank the ladies i for their efforts in providing the I banquet which turned out so successful. Following the singing of the national anthem the theatre was cleared of tables and chairs and a dance was started which continued until the early hours of the morning, the music being provided by R. Stafford Veale's orchestra. During the evening songs were sung by Messrs. Birkenhead and Connor and Mrs. Wall, the accom- HOSL'lTAJb DONATIONS The matron of the Prince George hospiptal desires to acknowledge receipt of the following donations for the months of May, June and July: Mrs. Bond, jar pickles; Mrs. A.
