THE ASHBURIAN 31 Tony Price, ex-captain of the Ashbury team, and this year ' s captain of the Bishop University team. In spite of a bhnding snowstorm our boys put on a good show. Ross, who was on the team for his second year, won the slalom. Price came first in the downhill, followed by Ross who tied for second place with Campbell of Bishops. Up in the Gatineau they also showed their skill on the trails. There were several interscholastic meets in which the team showed up quite well. In the Junior cross country Ashbury placed third, a mere point and one half behind Glebe who placed second. To be nosed out by such a small margin was a great disappointment to the team, who had tried so hard. The team showed up well in all these meets by its hard and steady work. The spirit of the ski-team was always high, and each meet was eagerly awaited. Every member of the team did his best at all times, and skiing was one of the most successful sports at Ashbury this season. BOXING THE annual boxing tournament opened on March 8th, 1948, with the first round of the preliminary bouts starting at 4.00 p.m. The first bout, between Baer and Scott III, was quite a good one but both contestants got quite flustered at times and seemed to forget their previous boxing instruction— won by Baer on points. The second, between Echhn and Ross II, was rather slow and not very scientific, with the decision going to Ross II on points. The third scheduled bout, between Denney II and iMcCallum went to Denney by default, due to the absence of McCallum. The next bout, between Maxwell and Shaw, proved rather one- sided as Maxwell put on an exceptionally good demonstration of both boxing and sportsmanship, easily defeating Shaw and yet not taking advantage of his undoubted superiority. This was followed by a rather wild exhibition of aimless swinging between Novakowski and Dillon who both apparently completely forgot all they had been taught about boxing, with the judges deciding in favour of Novakowski. Wells II and Sobie H put on quite a good bout with the judges awarding the decision to Sobie II on points. Baskerville II and Scott II did very well, and although Baskerville was at a disadvantage in reach, this was nullified by Scott changing his stance, with the result that Baskerville was able to score a big enough point margin to get a unanimous nod from the judges. Younger I outpointed Gilbert in a mild bout by making good use of his left hand and extra reach. The best bout of the first round of the prelims, was between

32 THE ASH BU RI AN FRI SI 1 A riON BY HIS EXCELLL NCV Baldwin and Pettet. Pettet started off fast and confidently but Baldwin fought right back and landed the heavier blows, scoring repeatedly to the mid-section which Pettet was leaving entirely unguarded through a very silly on-guard stance. The judges ' decision went to Baldwin on points. The opening bout of the second round prelims, on Tuesday, 9th March, brought together Baer and Vincent, the decision going to Baer, who showed quite an aggressive spirit throughout. This was followed by the Maxwell and Novakowski bout, in which A4axwell scored a clear-cut decision over his opponent. Then came Ross II and Sobie II —a well-contested bout in which Sobie scored the edge on points. The final elimination of the second round Juniors brought together Rhodes I and Denney II. This bout was slightly one-sided in favour of Rhodes, and the referee stopped the bout mid-way in the last round in deference to Rhodes superiority over his opponent. The first elimination bout in the Senior lightweight was a bit of an upset to the dopesters when Brownlee eliminated Kenny, after a good show, by a close decision. Salhaney had no difficulty in eliminat- ing Brown I from the tournament in the next contest. In the Senior lightweight, 2nd Division, Ross I scored by a good margin over Finlay I. Mclnnis definitely outpointed Mansur, and Owen scored a clear decision over Sobie I.
