Mr Manning has kindly provided the team pictures below. It shows the Clinton Collegiate team of June 1907 who beat Barrie to win the Hough Cup that season. The picture shows Scott's Grandfather Lewis Manning (middle row, far right) and his cousin William Manning (front row, 2nd from right—sitting directly in front of Lewis). In the years following both of these young men fought in WWI: Grandfather Lewis returned but sadly cousin Will died in France.
