Senior School Soccer The senior school soccer group was, as always, a large, fun -loving ' crew ' of non-football players. Only two matches were played this year, both against Ridley, and both, un- fortunately, were lost, by one goal apiece. Such players as Choy, Christensen, and Tate indicate that these scores could be easUy reversed in the future. The enthusiasm for the game and the natural ability of several of the players deserve due consideration for a more competitive season next year. Thanks for the past season must go to the indefati- gable Mr. Menzies, and part time coach, Mr. Revill. Harriers Unfortunately the enthusiasm and organization of former years was not apparent in the small group that made up the Harriers this autumn. As there was no coach for the team, and indeed only one meet against another school (that being the experienced Ridley team), the Harriers settled into a mediocre, circuitous routine of jogging about the school grounds. Four of the Harriers came in the top ten of the cross-country race however, and if a coach is found for next year, hope still remains for a competitively good team of runners. Despite its unexpected appearance, the Under 15 Rugger team could be said to have had a season of both emotional and statistical victory. With Mr. Washington stepping for- ward to take care of the coaching, good work from our scrum-half. U.I 5 Rugger Freeman, and our fly -half, Roloff, and the effort of the entire team, we won one of our three games by a good bit, lost another by a small margin, and lost again by a larger amount. The team would like to thank Mr. Washington for teaching them the fundamentals of the game. Hopefully, with the experience of this year behind them, they will be able to record an improved perform- ance next season.

The defensive captain. Tom (Little Buzz) Green, who had the responsi- bility of calling the defensive signals, demonstrated excellent anticipation and pursuit, and was a fearsome tackier for his size. Our ends, John Wright and Ian Slade, did an admir- able job of containing end sweeps. John Black and Bernie Kunst develop- ed into very valuable guards, and their aggressiveness and determina- tion inspired the defence on many occasions. John Keates and David Gibson were our tackles, with Gibson also serving as linebacker. Both were competent tacklers and made important contributions to the team. Jim Slattery, our 102 pound line- backer, had the knack of sneaking into the opponents ' backfield to either tackle the ball-carrier or ' ride ' him until help arrived. Our halfbacks were Gary Machan and Barry (Dinghy) Durrant, both of whom, though not large physically . played very well when called upon.
