t- enior J Couse J CocL As usual, Hamber House overpowered all its opponents, and came through both rounds of House Hockey unscathed. Both Young and Rich¬ ardson felt they might take the crown from omni¬ potent Hamber this year, but Hamber, with its combination of skill and determination (and a little help from Bill Ramsay, our number one draft choice from the Winnipeg Junior League) managed to win in spite of all. No doubt Hamber will continue its control over House Hockey in the future. Scores: H. vs. Y. H. vs. R.

The first game, between Richardson and Hamber, was very close, with Richardson winning 5-4. It might have been closer, but Hamber didn’t have its regular goalie. The second game, between Young and Richard¬ son, was a different story. The Young House tribe scalped Richardson 18-2. No names will be given, so none of Richardson’s team will be embarrassed. Because players did not come out for the Young- Hamber game, it was cancelled, and therefore the round was not finished. Young House was given the trophy in spite of this, because it looked as though they were the better squad. intermediate Letball Scores: SJR vs. MBCI . 5-38 SJR vs. Viscount .31-22 SJR vs. North Y.48- 7 SJR vs. Edmond Partridge 25-44 SJR. vs. Pembina Crest .48-17 SJR vs. Viscount .32-22 SJR vs. Viscount .43-31 SJR vs. St. Vital Y.47-36 SJR vs. St. Vital Y.31-30 SJR vs. Central Y.24-33 SJR vs. East Kildonan Y.37-69 Back: Mr. Stemshorn, McCaskill, Wilson, Cox, Gall, Young, Mr. Petrencik.

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

This year the Senior team entered a four-team league consisting of Assiniboia Residential School, St. Boniface College, St. Paul’s College and ourselves. Because of cold weather at the beginning of the season, the team was able to get a week of practise u nder Mr. Bredin at two exhibition games before the Christmas holidays. After the holidays, the league got into full swing. After an initial tie with SBC, the team seemed to have difficulty putting anything together, and consequently lost quite a few games by one goal. The team worked hard to improve, but we unfor¬ tunately hit our peak in the final game against St. Paul’s, where we lost the two- game total point playoff by one goal in overtime. The team played its final game against the star-laden Old Boys Squad, and after a very close, hard-fought game, they managed to squeak out a win in overtime. All in all, it was quite an enjoyable season, with the team being helped by Bob Roper, our top scorer, A1 Graham, with his tomahawk slapshots, Paul Bell’s nu¬ merous shots from just inside the blueline or 185 degrees to the net, and Peter Hammond’s fairly solid body checks. In closing, we would like to thank Mr. Hammond for his support during the games, and Mr. Bredin for his work in practise, teaching the team many skills which we lacked, but by the end of the season, managed to obtain, with the aid of his teaching.
