A745 7 Although last year's track and field program was a little sketchy in the win department, it wasn't because the boys weren't trying. They ran and sailed, iumped and hopped their way into many final.heats at Tri-County, but Bill Geris, of the Senior division, was only able to collect a second in the IOO and 220 yard dashes. This year is different. With fresh, eager personnel, a new coach in Mr. Pearson, who practices what he preaches, and l50 miles ofroadwork to backhim up, this year's version of speedsters will go places if they get a few breaks. They have run in all typesofweather, including snow, rain, ice, fog, and heat, and as it was the heat that beat them last year, it is inevitable that the heat will again be theirenemy. At the time that this article was in print, the boys were iust beginning to feel their enemy's effects, so with a little more practise, and a lot more win, it could be a top track season at CASS. TENNIS TEAM Once again our team at the WOSSA tennis tournament proved unsuccessful after high expectations were placed on them. This was not due to the fault of any one person or circumstance, but resulted from some inopportune injuries to two of our key tennis stars and thus the team was unable to generate any formidable power at the tournament. Our tennis team consisted of John Kupisz fsinglest, Henry Kowalski and Gord Szulc fdoublest. Since the idea that seems to be had from school sports is to win in order to gain any recognition for all the work done, there is no need to go into detail about the results of the tournament. Since both- Henry and John received injuries resulting from football, Gord Szulc was forced to play in the singles' competition in which he played very much unlike Rod Lover. The members of the tennis team would like to thank Mr. Douglas, who was our coach for all the time he spent in preparing the team for the competition, and we can only hope that one day he will be rewarded for all his efforts by a team winning the WOSSA title.

Although their offensive general, Henry Kowalski, was a rookie ln senior competition, he soon learned how to run to daylight, and using his sly fullback, Ted Carter, intertwined with a little truck named Jimmy Racknor, the Knights' offensive unit soon gained a reputation as one of the finest running attacks in the league. Our defensive squad, led by a wolv- erine-like Tommy Slade, and reinforced my an all-star pair of cornerbacks in Don Nleil and Jerry Ropp, kept the Knights from becoming horsemeat more than once, as they defended every foot of turf as though there was a l00 foot drop with rocks at the bottom right behind them. Although our team didn't win Tri- County, they have a sound nucleus for a contender next year, and if a new quarterbackand anotherwolverine can be found to eat purple dogs and bloody devlls it will be another pennant to tie to our lances in the fall. by: Tom Slade X ! JUNIOR FOOTBALL A This year our Crusaders experienced a rebuilding season under the eyes of head coach Mr. Ewing and assistant coach Mr. Nader. With their backfield and most oftheir line graduated and gone into senior competition, the Crusaders turned to little Jimmy Fletcher to lead them into battle as their quarterback . Th is natural athlete, with his size, or l should say lack of it, engineered an offense that sputtered and stalled until the closeuof their season, when it exploded into life and rippedover the Junior lngersoll Bluebombers by the lopsided tally of 32-6. Although Jimmy was hampered by his height problem and often had to roll out to hit his receivers, his coaches taughthim how to move well, and by using his two running backs, Joe Nadalin, and Caz Cizkowski to keep the defences honest, the Crusaders smashed gaping holes in the oppositions' lines continually. It was along season for some, but the game has to be learned in humiliation as well as in victory, and now that it has been learned, I'm sure that the Crusaders can rack up the points next season.

For the third consecutive year the CASS Knights have played four games against other senior Woodstock teams and have emerged victorious every time. No team wearing either red or purple have beaten a CASS senior team since the I966-67 season. fie. when you grade niners were in grade sixj This year the Knights advanced farther into the Ontario playdowns than ever before, they finished a close second in the Eastern Division of Tri-County, and then defeated a strong Parkside team, which finished in first place in the Western Division, thus earning the right to advance to the Western Ontario finals. They were finally eliminated by the tough Beale Raiders, who had to employ some imaginative defensive formations to stop the Knights. The Knights concluded the season with a I6-4 record. Three of their four losses came at the hands of the Glendale Griffins, who may well be the best high school team in Ontario. The Knights were led by captain John Kupisz, who has been described as having been the quarterback of the Knights for the last four years. Although Kupisz has been mainly a playmaker throughout his high school career, he also provedhisvalue as a scorer thisyear. College Avenue's other scoring leader this season was Vic Jakowlew. When the Knights needed important points thisyear they usually counted on Jakowlew to supply them, and he rarely let them down. Center Ron Waugh, by the end of the season, became as dangerous a scoring threat as his two teammates. Waugh also displayed his iumping ability throughout the season, by winning virtually all iump-balls at center and by pulling down more than his share of rebounds. Guard Terry Perkins, who by I969-70 was a veteran of CASS basketball, also proved himself to be a vital player in the Knights' attack. Other valuable Knights were Tom Utting, whose defense and rebounding were important to the Knights' success, Terry Hook, a playmaking guard, and Mike Vinnins, who possessed one of the most accurate shots on the team. Unfortunately, the chances are that of the players mentioned above, only Vinnins will return next year. It looks like the Knights' conquest of Woodstock may have ended. However, many prophets said the same thing last year when two first stringers retired from the Knights' ranks, but coach MacKenzie put the team's talents together and the Knights had their most successful season ever in I969-70. Mr. MacKenzie has probably been more important than any other person in the development of the CASS seniors, and CASS hopes that he will be around a long time to repair the Chinks in the Knights' annour.
