VARSITY VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM ROW 1 — George Trafton, Bob McClintock, Richard Whitehouse, Jack Mahon. ROW 2 — Mr. Phillips (Coach), George Paulus, Jim Smith, Dave Gifford, Jim Irving, Mark McDougall (Manager). VARSITY BASKETBALL What is becoming a typically Churchill Varsity Basketball season was completed this winter with this years squad on the disappointing end of an 8-2 win-loss record. Dismal as it seems, this 2-8 record is Churchill ' s best effort in the last few years. (REMEMBER: 0-10 and 1-13). A lack of height and a loss of good varsity material to Exams certainly handicapped the effectiveness of a well drilled and spirited team. The rule has been in past years to comment on the team ' s sportsmanship and spirit rather than on their failure as a winning team. This year ' s team never provided a dull moment for basketball enthusiasts. Their enthusiasm to play well was always evident to those of us who watched their play. Much credit must go to their coach, Mr. Phillips, whose enthusiasm for the boys was always present although he knew well of their handicaps and incapabilities. The teams capabilities, on the other hand, hit full stride during the Churchill- sponsored basketball tournament in February. The boys won the day in fine fashion defeating the Winkler boys by a slim margin in the finals. Congratulations are in order for the team ' s top scorer, Jack Mahon, who was voted to the Interhigh Basketball All-Star team. The members of this year ' s team enjoyed themselves during months of rigorous training and tough games coupled with some criticism on their ineffectiveness from student basketball Authorities.” However, this year ' s team may have begun a trend for succeeding Variety teams in the direction of a city title in future years. Not too future we hope.

JANUARY — CHURCHILL DEMONSTRATES ITS TRACK POWER IN TWO INDOOR TRACK MEETS THIS WINTER In the first of two International Indoor Track Meets held at the Winnipeg Arena, Churchill ' s track team captured four firsts and two seconds in relay competition. George Paulus niched-out Ed Herold as Churchill finished first and second in the Metro High School Boy ' s One Mile race. Once again Churchill ' s victories were many, as this, Winni¬ peg’s best Indoor Track meet to date, offered Churchill athletes an opportunity to demonstrate their track power to the public (7,000 spectators in all). Churchill ' s relay teams under the valuable and enthusiastic coaching of Messrs. Kuz and Phillips won four firsts and a second. Individually: Ed Herold won the Metro High School One Mile after a shakey qualifying race; Harvey Kriscuinas ran the four best sprints of his young career as he placed a formidable fourth in the Men ' s Open sixty yard finals with a best time of 6.3 seconds and also went on to help the senior 4x160 relay team win handily; Lynn Humphreys ( Churchill ' s athlete most likely to succeed in the Olympics” — Mr. Phillips) ran a promising third in the Women ' s Half Mile event with a time only a few seconds off the Canadian Women ' s 880 record. FEBRUARY — CHURCHILL TRACKSTERS PARTICIPATE IN U. OF MINNESOTA TRACK AND FIELD MEET Months and even years of thankless training paid off for six Churchill track team members who invaded Minneapolis - St. Paul in February to run against Northwestern United States college athletes at the University of Minnesota field-house. Although the boys did not fare too well, with the exception of Harvey Kriscuinas who finished fifth in the 60 yard dash over thirty-five other college sprinters, they enjoyed themselves and took full advantage of the experience.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Churchill ' s Freshman Backetball teams in the past few years have all had one thing in common, a rather depleted win column. This year ' s team managed to maintain this common character¬ istic by losing all their games. However, as our boys left the court in the shadow of defeat, the opposition undoubtably had been made aware of our team ' s spirit and desire as they went to the showers, licking their wounds. Mr. Kuz, their coach, is aware of their qualities and he can see many of the boys as good varsity material. ROW 1 — John Downie, Bill Raynor, Tom Kidd (Manager), Richard Quinton, Tom Larkins. ROW 2 — Jack Bowman, Bill Klymchuk, Randy Jefferson (Captain), Don Smith, Keith Stanley, Doug Wimble, Ed Michalski, Mr. Kuz (Coach). BASKETBALL JUNIOR HIGH SENIOR The Junior High Seniors were the most potent team Churchill High placed on the basketball courts during the 1960-61 season. Coached by Mr. Bryant they amassed an enviable 14-1 record in all games played during the year. The only tarnish on their otherwise spotless record was a 32-27 loss to Isaac Newton in their final game, while competing for the city championship. When the boys graduate to the Freshman team next year, they should provide Churchill with one of its greatest Freshman teams in years. ROW 1 — Roman Lewycky, Don McDonald, Bob Roe, Roman Kopchuk, Stan Tamre. ROW 2 — Don Kowal, Dave Smith, Grenville Winslow (Captain), Mr. Bryant (Coach), Ron Carlson, Jerry Spivak, Gerry Gerbasi. BASKETBALL JUNIOR HIGH JUNIOR The Junior High Juniors, coached by Brian Zim- The Junior High Juniors, coached by Brian Zimmer, experienced a rather unsuccessful year, winning 1 out of 5 games. However, all the games lost by the Juniors were close, hard-fought contests and they managed to gain some measure of revenge by defeating Earl Grey for their lone victory of the year. ROW 1 — Marcel Hue, Robert Doiron, Gordon Pincock, Tony Maruca, Phil Doiron. ROW 2 — Brian Zimmer (Coach), Bruce Downie (Captain), John Ellis, Birger Buus, Keith Wasybik, Ken Thompson.
