The Third Basketball Team FRONT ROW: Manifould, Grimes, McCarter, Duncan. BACK ROW: Mr. Richardson, Stewart II, Francis, Ellery, Stott. This year ' s Third Basketball Team did not experience many victories but gained valuable ex- perience throughout the season. It was felt that the experience would afford the team members many victories in the years to come. The team was coached by Mr. Richardson, who succeeded in instilling in our players many basic skills fundamental to the game of basketball. These skills ' were eagerly put to use by the team towards the end of the season. The team was led by a strong first string of which the Captain and Vice-Captain were a vital part. Most of the points were ac- cumulated by the centre, Peter Ellery, and by Kevin Peru Stewart. This duo was more com- monly known as the ' Peruvian Connection ' . Other first string members were M. Francis, P. Grimes and J. McCarter. In support of the first line were the following able and willing players: P. Duncan, P. Manifould, G. Stewart, G. Stott, J. VanTighem and F. Jennings. Leading Scorer: P. Ellery. Co- Captains: J. McCarter, P. Grimes. THE RECORD vs Ridley Lost 27-21 T.C.S. Lost 49-20 Crescent Won 24-17 S.A.C. Won 33-27 U.C.C. Lost 47-42 Ridley Lost 38-32 T.C.S.

The Second Basketball Team FRONT ROW: Bierbrier, Baiz I. VanTighem II, Williams, French. BACK ROW: Mr. Martin, Hou II, Rachmaninoff II, Morrison II. Davies. Lam, Hodge I. Appleby ' s Second Basketball Team for 1974-75 was no great success, with a disappointing 9 losses to 1 win. Many times when we seemed to have the game won, victory eluded us due to carelessness, mistakes, im- patience, lack of effort and sometimes simple bad luck. This team had no height advantage nor any great amount of ex- perience behind it, but regar- dless of this, we lost through our own errors on most occasions. We generally began our games too slowly and the opposition took full advantage of this to run up a lead which was in- surmountable later in the contest when we played better basket- ball. The team members were Steve Baiz, Mike Bierbrier, Bryan Davies, Tim French, Dave Hou, Herman Lam, Keith Morrison, Jean-Pierre Rachmaninoff, Roland To, Bruce Williams and Mark Van Tighem. Our starting line-up was Bier- brier, Davies, Morrison, Rach- maninoff and Van Tighem, all of whom gratefully thank the ' benchwarmers ' , especially Baiz, who came in many times to replace Davies or Tighem with great ability and skill. The entire team also wishes to thank its ever patient coach, Mr. Martin, who resolutely attended many ill-attended practices throughout the season. Although the season was an unsuccessful one from the point of view of games won, we nevertheless had a good deal of fun in trying and we are all looking forward to next year. M. Van Tighem II

The First Swim Team § •!? r t Ij ' jr FRONT ROW: Stuart I, Burke I, Bloemen I, Wright I. Morgan I, Thompson I. Henkel. BACK ROW: Mr. Larsen, Connor I, Bloemen II, Burke II, Chuck, Mr. Berriman. Last season the Appleby Swim- ming Club put out a First Team with a full card of fixtures. This season we finally came of age, putting out two full teams and competing on equal terms with everyone we met. We were able to establish a pat- tern of training this year which will more than meet our requirements henceforth. Aban- doning a rigid training schedule for a more flexible system based on timed interval repetitions, we were able to push our distance in training up to an average of 2,500 yards a session, while reducing the time taken to cover the distance. The record speaks for itself; we consistently won our matches at home but lost the away fixtures. We did not have one good meet away from home and consistently missed our turns; we started slowly and swam poorly in an un- familiar pool. Starts and turns will certainly receive top priority in our training programme next year. Team Captain John Wright trained and swam with his usual thoroughness and dedication; significantly, the matches we lost, with one exception, were the ones in which he was unable to compete. Assistant Captain Peter Bloemen spent the whole season working on Butterfly, and he reduced his time by 5.4 seconds over 50 yards. David Stuart continues to im- prove his times in both 50 and 100 yards Freestyle and holds the School record in both these events. Jonathan Morgan has been an invaluable asset to the team this season. A devotee of the coloured training goggle, his fine swimming in every stroke has made him first choice for IM, in which event he has excelled. Desmond and David Burke, Win- ston Chuck, Tom Henkel and Peter Thompson all swam well, winning many of their races and adding strength to the relay team. We shall miss Tom Henkel and Winston Chuck next season, their places will be hard to fill, but we are fortunate in retaining much of the strength of the team. J.B.
