This year the school once again entered a team in the Clover Leaf Cross Country League, running every Wednesday, and scoring on a team basis, adding up the first five places on each team, the lowest score winning. In the first race the team finished 4th over a 31 2 mile course at St. James, Graham coming 7th, Schluderman 14th, and Jackman 19th. We ran well over a 3 V 2 mile course at St. Vital on an extremely cold day, Graham coming first, Dunstan 4th, and Jackman 11th, and the team finished in second place. Our next race was over a 4 mile course at Charleswood, where the team came in 3rd with Dunstan 8th and Graham 18th. The last Clover Leaf race was over a 4 mile course at S.J.R. where we finished 2nd, Graham coming 3rd and Dunstan 7th, with Schluderman, Kiddell, Jackman, Kirby, Dodd, and Alastair Graham also running well. Overall we came 3rd in the league standing, narrowly missing 2nd place by four points. At the end of October we ran at Neepawa, competing against schools from all over Manitoba as well as the city of Winnipeg. The day was cold, and the 3 mile course rough, being through bush, rivers, ploughed fields, and various other obstacles such as barbed wire fences. Graham came 14th, Dunstan 23rd, and the team finished 7th out of 17 teams. Thanks go to Mr. Ainley for coaching and transportation, and particularly for the scenic drive to Neepawa.

Back Row: Mr. Glegg, Schluderman, Rankin, Swan, Fox, Mr. Ainley. Middle Row: James, Folinsbee, Macbeth, Graham, Sheen, Dodd. Front Row: Colquhoun, Naiman, Graham. The first game of the season was played at S.J.R. against last year’s city champs and although the game was not as bad as the score would indicate, we had our worse moments, and lost 8-0. In our second game we came up against a rough Westwood team who beat us 6-0 in a hard-fought and hardly friendly game. In our third game, played at Silver Heights, we played much better, but seemed to fall off badly in the last minutes of the game and lost 6-0. Our last league game saw us at home, against Glenlawn, where we played by far our best game, and had it not been for a few unfortunate breaks, we might even have won. Sheen scored once for S.J.R., while Glenlawn scored five times. On the Father and Son’s Weekend, we played the Old Boys. An early goal by Graham and one for the Old Boys ended the half 1-1, but two later goals by Graham, one unanswered, led the school team to its first victory, 3-2. A game was arranged between the Masters, confident of victory, and the school team, and after a hard-fought and rather humorous game, the Masters managed to gain a 0-0 tie, due mainly to the efforts of Mr. Sheperd who refereed. Thanks to both Mr. Glegg and Mr. Ainley who coached us, and also to Jack, whose balancing acts entertained all. 36

This year, Senior House Soccer was once again played after the regular football and soccer seasons were over. The teams were made up of both senior football and senior soccer players, making for some aggressive play. Because of the lateness of the season and the cold weather, there were only six games, each House playing each other House once. In the first game, Hamber held Young to a scoreless tie, and then went on to miserably fluke an undeserved win against the obviously far superior Richardson House team. Richardson easily held Young to a tie game, and in effect, it thus won the title for Hamber House. junior J Couse occer This was the first year that there was any real Junior House Soccer tournament. It was organized in exactly the same way as was Senior House Soccer, and due to the shortness of time that was left before Winter, each . House only had time to play each of the other Houses once. In the series, Hamber beat both Young and Richardson, earning itself first place, and the title. Richardson and Young played well, though, and in their game they fought to a tie.

Six-Man Football experienced a fine year under the supervision of Mr. Macleod and Mr. Maloney. It was set up as a four-team league, each team having its own captain. The captains were Carl¬ son, Nothstein, Edworthy, and Murray. A new five-team system was introduced midway through the season, but it was abandoned for the old one of four games a week. The league standings were pretty much the same throughout the year, and the season ended in a deadlock. The final game was scheduled to be played on the Fathers’ and Sons’ Weekend so that Fathers could see for themselves the tremendous skill of their sons in football. Murray’s team emerged victorious,. and thanks from the rest of the players go to Mr. Macleod and Mr. Maloney for all the time they gave to Six-Man Football. 38
