This years House League Football schedule was greatly revised because of a shorter amount of time available and a greater number of teams. It took on the form of a tournament, only the victors proceed- ing into the next round. In the junior loop 9-5 and 10-5 Juniors, coached by C. Misale and A. Maniacci, met the 3's Junior Combines. The Misale crew did not break loose until the second half, scoring three touchdowns, and win- ning the game and championship 26-6. The out- standing player, and also high scorer, during the season was T. Healy. Junior Champs In the Senior circuit the 4'2 Combines under the coaching of R. Capito defeated the R. Cmell and R. Barlotti coached 9-5 and IO-5 Seniors l-O in the season's most thrilling game. Some players whose ability will help Father Dwyer and Mr. Tighe in future years were Ilakabffy, Condello and Healy.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL This past football season saw the Baby Gaels the 1957 representatives of Cathedral High School under the leadership of Father Dwyer finish with a 2-2 record, which enabled them to enter the semi-finals. Une of their wins was over Westdale C9-65 who later on won the city championship. The other win was at the expense of Hill Park C12-71 Unfor- tunately the team suffered defeat at the hands of Delta and Central C25-l-lj and C7-62 respectively. In the semi-playoffs against Delta the juniors couldnt score from in close and as a result went down to defeat by the tune of C26-61 In the course of time, as with all teams in sports, the team had its share of injuries. All season the Baby Blue was plaqued with minor injuries, but the most serious forced three of their linemen to miss part of the football season. Jimmy Zwolak aggravated an old injury in the seasons opener and was lost to the team for the rest of the schedule. John McColl con- tacted a severe charleyhorse in the opening game, also, and was handicapped the rest of the season. Finally Steve Mamuza suffered a broken collar bone in one of the team's practices when he empha- sized the flying part of a Hying cross-body block. In a sense, Cathedral got a new coach this past season in the person of Father Dwyer. For the past few autumns Father Dwyer had been line coach of the juniors but this last season he took over the full coaching job. Father Dwyer's task was made un- doubtedly more difficult in that he had no assistants to help in the training and moulding of the team. To teach football fundamentals to thirty SO- CALLED ATI-ILF.TES is a difficult task for any two or three men, yet let alone one man. Father The otha, 1957-1958 Dwyers Baby Gaels finished the season in third place, which gave them a playoff birth. In conclu- sion we can truly say that Father Dwyer came through with flying colours Cblue and whitel. Special thanks must be given to the managers, Rudy Brunetti, Vario Ciandomenic and Don Morelli, for their excellent co-operation they gave both to Father and to the players.

SENIOR BASKETBALL, 1957-58 The 1957-58 edition of the Cathedral Gaels suc- cessfully defended the city championship that their counterparts of the previous year had won. The big Blue also walked off with the McMaster Tourney and finished runner-up in the Catholic Basketball Tournament. The Gael men led by a pair of veterans, jim Magee and Bill Sullivan, who finished second and third respectively in league scoring. Newcomer John CHerbertD Hughes and Al Healey finished sixth and seventh in league scoring, while Bob Murphy rounded out the first string. The bench was inexperienced but they made up for it by their desire and spirit. The bench was made up of Bob Mahler, Paul Chesla, Roy Maringoni and Ioe Tazzeo. The Gaels started out on the right foot, edging Central 58-55 and Delta 62-59. Both were uphill last minute victories. The next victims were Hill Park 60-21 and Westdale 78-66. The second half of th season saw the Blue and White hand Delta and Hill Park convincing defeats by the scores of 71-54 The Orbit, 1957-1958 ' and 69-51. They clinched first place with a 79-76 heart-stopping victory over Westdale. In this game Bill Sullivan set a new C.H.S. scoring record by pot- ting 36 points. With the pressure off, Central managed to end the Gaels' winning streak with a 49-45 victory. ln the play-offs Central jumped into an early lead and defeated Cathedral 53-44 in the Hrst game. However, the Gaels, reinforced by juniors Ed Bordas, Walt Cherwaty and Mike Thomas, bounded back to tie the series with an 88-81 win. The deciding game at McMaster was the most exciting in many years. The Gaels squeezed out a 70-68 overtime win to again win the coveted CHML trophy. Thanks must go to the coach, Mr. Tighe, the managers, Messrs. Frank Cosentino and Torn Gal- lagher, who coached the team in the Mac Touma- ment. A fine season was topped off by Bill Sullivan and jim Maga being selected to the league all-star team. jim Cooper, 13-1. Page Thirty-one
