Football continued Next on the list was a confident and big Westdale squad. In a great defensive game the Fighting Irish, rolled to a 17 to 0 victory over the Green and Gold. Then rose the newly formed Hill Park squad. It was defeated in a spirited game by 21 to 7. The short schedule was over and the semi-finals began. Due to Cathedral's loss to Delta, the Blue and White had to play off with Central. This was a must game for Cathedral! -- They came through. -- 14 to O. Since Delta also defeated Westdale the stage was set for the final test. On November 12, a well organized and spirited team faced an over-confident and expe- rienced one. The game was close and hard-fought but at the end of the game the echoing cheer for the Blue told the simple story. The score -- 11 to 2 -- in our favour. The T. Eaton Trophy had come home to Cathedral. Three players made the All-Star team. Ted Carney was chosen as left halfback, Paul Hogan as right-guard and Joe Giedraitis as left-tackle. Ted scored most of the few touch- downs, running with great agility and speed. Paul and Joe were stalwarts on the offensive line, as well as being equally efficient defensively. They held the holes wide open and jeoparized the opposition's plays. Be-enforcing the line were Art Sebastion, Paul Keats, and Al Stanevi- cius. Paul also did the high averaged kicking, while Gary Billings converted Successfully. Ends, Al Healy and Ed Paprocki blocked well on offensive plays and Angelo Zizzo and Joe Tazzeo rushed and tackled well. The alert quarterbacking duties were shared by Basil Mercuri and A1 Healy. Mercuri fulfilled the running part and Healy completed the passing. Phil Fats Mazza plunged through the line. Bob Mahler caught passes and Joe Miniaci used his speed to run around the ends. Defensively, Bob Morely and Roy Holland consistently put the pressure on the opposing quarterback. In run-backs, Joe Ianuzzi and Paul Szep gained valuable yardage. The strong reserve was as follows -- Ken Morley, centre, John Grebenc, Paul Cummings, Frank Olsav, Joe the Jaw Stank were tacklesg John Fitzpatrick, Paul Chesla were Back- fielders. LEST WE FORGET -- credit is due to our managers, Ralph Gmell and Lou Jerebec. Also, due to injuries, Bob Lanza, Paul Folk, Bill Pigott and Mike Wilcox, were lost at crucial parts of the season. SPECIAL CREDIT must be given to Mr. Richard Tighe and assistant coach Mr. Don Dunn, for their perseverance during long practices and wearying games. Again, their dogged endurance rewarded itself with another CHAMPIONSHIP, Now we no longer have to tell Delta WHO WE ARE Brother! ----- Did they find out!
