Junior School Soccer In the steps of the previous first teams, 1971 ' s squad maintained the winning ways of years past. By playing as a unit, we were able to score effectively, and in losing we were always edged by narrow margins. A great deal of credit is owed to the splendid coaching of Mr. Dickens who lauded us in victory while soothing us in defeat. One of the many highlights of the season came in the match against Hillfield when, as the team waltzed to a 12-0 victory, Graham Liggat, player-coach of the Toronto Metros and one time star of Arsenal in the English Soccer League, came and watched the match. Of those who participated, special mention must be made of the following who gave consistently outstanding per- formances during the season: Neil Jamieson (Capt.), John Farrington, Tim Sanderson, Fridrico Robinson. Lack of needed practise hindered the progress of the Second Soccer Team. A slow start resulted in losses to St. Andrew ' s, Upper Canada, and Ridley. However, things began to pick up when the team was edged by Pickering 2-1, as they went on to defeat Lakefield 5-0 and Upper Canada 5-2. As is often the case, the younger members of the Junior School are very ambitious and strive to equal the achieve- ments of those older. The soccer played by the Third Team was no exception as it indicated a perseverance on the part of the team members, and an exciting future for soccer in the Junior School. The team wishes to thank Mr. Humphreys for doing such a good coaching job.
