CHURCHILL BULLDOGS The Churchill Bulldogs did it again. For the second consecutive year they neither lost nor tied a game to become City and Provincial Champions for a third year in a row. To quote Vince Lombardi: Fatique makes cowards of us all. ' ' The Bulldogs could never be called cowards as shown through their successful hard work. From the middle of August to early November, the Bulldogs went through the rigors of football, much the same way as a professional football team does. They ran, grabbed, exercised and practised plays to achieve the timing and perfection that a Champion Team needs. There were the usual hinderances, such as the mosquitoes, the weather and enemy scouts but nothing made the team quit. Through meetings and intense competitions between rookies and veterans and “girls and hogs the Bulldogs developed a unity that enabled them to play the game of football together as a team. On the field, the Bulldogs were the smartest looking of all the ten high school teams and the credit must go to the managers and trainers, who taped every thing from ankles to forearms and cleaned and fixed every available piece of equipment. A group of statisticians were present at every game, carefully recording valuable information from which Coaches Puchniak, Quelch, and Bilodeau could use to find out what facets of the team ' s play needed improving. The regular season began with a rather easy win over Kelvin and ended in the same fashion with a victory over Gordon Bell. In between,the Bulldogs handled the improved Grant Park Pirates, St. Paul ' s Crusaders and the two tough teams in the North, St. John ' s and Sisler. St. John ' s proved some opposition in the semi-final, but after beating them, the Bulldogs went on to defeat the Spartans, from Sisler. The Bulldogs then achieved automatic Provincial Champ-status, when the Deloraine Colts defaulted the game. This year ' s offense featured the outside rushes of Jim Morgan and the inside slashing running of Jim Cumming and Ward Ketcheson. Although a predominately running team, the Bulldogs had the passing arm of Jack Ackland. The defense played an orthodox alignment with not much blitzing due to the outstanding charge of the Front Four. This year ' s all-star team featured 6 Bulldogs - Jim Cummings, Bart Evans, Rick Hiebert, Jim Morgan, Doug Palmerton and Tom Sherbrook. Next year, Churchill will be trying and playing like all the present day Churchill teams - like Champions.
