SPORTS There remains a no less important aspect of our education which is that of sports. Not even the tornado could put a halt to them. The fields had scarcely heen cleared of the dehris hut the hand played on. Whether it was the 3:30 razzle-dazzle foot- hall game or the hard fought varsity haskethall game or tennis match, always there was that will to win. At times, tempers flared hut after the game, everything settled down to normal. Thus, it is with pleasant memories that we now review our feats on the field of competition.

Jubile de Notre College Ce n est pas sans raison que les Peres Assomp- tionistes furent plonges dans un deuil stupefiant lorsque la tornade du 9 juin reduisit en decombres leur college. Quelques veterans, parmi les plus anciens surtout, avaient vu eux-memes monter en cinq etapes longues et penibles, I’enorme edifice auquel ils avaient consacre leur sueur et meme leur sang. Ce fut en 1908 que I on construisit la premiere aile du college. Meme dans son etendue assez La maison, juste avant la tornade. Le feu de 1923 brula un dortoir et un grenier. L on construisuit la 5e aile en 1927. modeste, la batisse predisait deja la grandeur et la gloire qui suivraient. Le venere P. Omer Rocbain y ajouta, en 1911 ce qui constitue aujourd’Kui la partie centrale. On avail deja I impression d un college qui se main- tiendrait et dont la tour dominerait pendant long- temps les collines de Greendale.” L acroissement numerique des eleves rendit necessaire la juxtaposition d une aile gaucbe en 1921. Or I Assomption grandissait toujours en sa- gesse et en science”. La generosite de nos bienfaiteurs facilita la contruction du batiment du College et du gymnase (1926-27). Enfin en 1947, I’oeuvre eut son couronnement dans la Cbapelle du Cbrist-Roi, et le grand dortoir. La parfie centrale fut acbevee en 1911. 28

Da O O ti 1 WIN 4 LOSSES Three important figures in this year’s football pic¬ ture were coach Eddie Boule and co-captains Red Sauve and Dick Loranger. Together they gave color and spirit to the team. In Mr. Boule, Assumption has had one of the best coaches around. His knowledge of the game is far-reaching, everyone will agree. His strategy, oftentimes deceiving to the opponents, is a proof of this. A coach, however, can merely show what is to be done; he cannot go out and do it. The two who could carry out Eddie’s orders were the leaders of the team. Red Sauve and Dick Loranger. An able quarterback. Red’s accurate passing and smart play calling kept the opposing defense on their toes. He would call for a pass, a hand off to his half-backs or boot-leg his way off-tackle with success and then shuffle his plays again constantly catching some defense man off guard. At right end there was the hard-tackling Dick Loranger. Not many end-sweeps went far when Dick was out there. Either he would knock out the inter¬ ference or get the ball carrier, and, in both cases, the substantial gains were few. On offense, it seemed that Dick always had that hole opened up for our backfield men. Thus, to these three cogs go a loud cheer for their important parts on our football team: that of coaching and that of leading.
