heart-stoppers going to our arch- rivals from Upper Canada. Both of these ended up with the winning goal scored with less than thirty seconds left in the game. Next Year! Unhke most years we did not suffer greatly from Northward Bound owing to the fact that our vets were well spread out over the six weeks and that we had strong and willing support from our farm teams. No offence in- tended to the CAHA (Central African Hockey Association]. To wrap it up, I feel that we really enjoyed the season and to mention any individuals would be unfair to the others because it was a team effort from the beginning.

Bolt, This year ' s team was made up of both the seasoned veterans and a fresh group of rookies. Under the coaching of Mr. Snowden, the team got stronger and stronger. As one member put it, Bobbles sure taught me a lot . Most of our games were fast, good, clean hockey and we sur- prised ourselves that we could keep to it all game, in fact all season. There was a great spirit on the team and very little criticism among the players. Perhaps the most memorable game was in the finale against TCS. With the acidic memory of a close loss to them earlier in the season, the team went out and we mercilessly pounded them into the ice with a 5-2 victory. It was a rough game but the puck remained in Blue possession for most of it. With tough competition coming from Crescent and St. Andrew ' s, the team closed out vnth only three losses: one to TCS and two rcB

First Basketba This year ' s Senior Basketball team had the best record in Appleby history, finishing second with thirteen wins and two losses, both to Ridley, who went on to become the undefeated cham- pions. Our success is owed completely to our coach, Paul Martin, who took nine players with no height or speed ad- vantages and molded them into a successful team. It may never be knovwi whether it was his cunning strategy or halftime coronaries which carried us to victory, but it is certain that without him we would have been battling it out with Crescent and St. Georges for the wooden spoon. The players were a mixed group. The backcourt was probably the most experienced and best balanced in the league. When one watched the deadly drives of deceptive Deeb Josselyn , the quickness of Snake Leggat and The Chief ' s perimeter bombs and inside strength, one found it hard to believe they could ever miss - but occasionally they did! In the FRONT ROW; Halliday. Josselyn, Morrison. Leggat. Goddard. BACK ROW; Mr. Larsen, Boyle, Wood 2, Casey, Jackson. event of this rarity occurring, Doc Halliday, Raymondo Casey and Jamaal Goddard were ever present to clear the boards. Throughout the season the bench personnel improved considerably and this inspired confident play. Boards Wood took over well at centre when asked to. Rabbit Jackson, swift of foot and long of burner, (at once the smallest and hairiest player in the I.S.A.A.) and Pistol Pete Boyle proved their worth, especially on the fast break. Early in the season, we were forced to rely on defensive play, since our multi-phase offence was, as yet, in the embryonic stage. It was this defence, quick and aggressive, which carried us to success. Its merit was initially established in the opening game against UCC; it was on it that we relied when we played the Goliaths from Ridley. We played very well and victory seemed assured when, with three seconds to play, we scored to take a two- point lead. However, we had reckoned on neither the gods ' disfavour nor the referees ' in- competence, and consequently lost by two points in overtime. This loss sickened us but thanks to the coach and an inbred doggedness which seems to be almost a part of the school, we pulled together. As the season continued, we rolled over op- ponents without mercy (but with occasional ineptitude). One of the best points of our game was the fast break, which we honed to a fine edge over the length of the season. It was with this dagger carefully concealed under our cloaks that we took on UCC in their ov ti gym. In the first half, we wielded our daggers with great skill and succeeded in plunging them in repeatedly, up to the hilt, into the exposed areas of the UCC side. As they lay writhing in agony in the second half, we brought our North Carolina stall into play and, with the grace of a master bull-fighter, lured them out to us. They came un- suspectingly, and then in a flash and with a cry of triumph we dealt the death blow. The Chief
