Madden, Senior djaihetbali Not enjoying one of their best seasons, the Delta Senior Red Raiders, 1960-61, realized their true potentialities and indicated on paper, as well as in a late-season rally that better things are yet to come. With all but two of the boys in their first year of senior, a valuable amount of experience was acquired. The coach, Mr. Macdonald, a fine basketball player himself, who instilled in the boys a desire to play, will soon see all his efforts rewarded. He was given competent assistance by Mr. Scott, the junior coach, and Mr. Lowden. The team ' s only victory came in a contest with Central, but it lost 4 of the other seven encounters by margins of less than six points. Thus, although the boys suffered many bad breaks, they learned from their own mistakes . Composing the team were Dave Hajas, Peter Tarvainen, Wayne Madden, all of whom played in their last year and who provided a necessary spark to the team; Trevor Madden, Sheldon Katz, fine shooters, who will be looking forward to next year; Bill Lewington, Bob Madden, Jack Shinehoft, Mel Eisthen. who contributed spirit and desire as well as their own individual abilities; Bruce Harvey, who joined later in the season and who will value the experience obtained: and Wayne Gate, left midway in the year to devote more time to other endeavours and who were greatly missed. All in all, one great desire was realized: a love to play basketball.

aLJeita Aunioi- Waterpoio-1961 Junior Waterpolo - 1961, like football was a very well balanced league. Delta, in particular, was a success story as they started the season with seven unknowns and, under the direction of Mr. Kornelson, and Jack Brokenshire came within a hairs breadth of lifting another championship for Delta.

Porter, Mr. Scott, G. Munoe, R. Veevers. ABSENT: S. Thomas, G. Paige. In semi-finals probably the longest in the history of Hamilton waterpolo. we up-ended the Mounteneers by a score of 3-2. The Hill- toppers moved out 2-0 on two goals by Scott Smiley. John Brooks got one back and Yours Truly in the last minute of play in the fourth quarter tied it up. Seven long periods of over- time in which the miraculous player Rick Giles in goal and Bob Lewington helped to hold of Hill Park. Brooks countered in the sev- enth period about quarter way through to bring the flag home for Delta. In the championship game which Delta after running Central into the ground for three frames came out on the short end of a 3-2 score John Brooks and Eric Till countered as Jim Jones, Tom Flint, and Jim Skinner contributed greatly to uphold Delta ' s honour even though going down to defeat.

Several close games were played such as the game against Central, when the team was down one point with a minute left. Wi th the time running out the team surged ahead by one point and then controlled the ball till time ran out. Another such game was against BARTON when the score was 39 to 38 for Delta with 2 minutes left. A quick basket by Barton put Delta down one point but with the two foul shots and a sudden lay-up Delta forged ahead by 3 points and that is how the game ended. Other close games were not as successful, as the time against Glendale when the team lost by 5 points. The coach during the 60-61 season at Delta was Mr. R.Scott amath teacher here, who is playing in the Ryerson church league. During the Christmas holidays the junior team played in a tournament in Kitchener. They played 2 games, one in the morning and one in the evening. If they won the second game they would stay the night and play in the semi- finals the next day. The opposite happened and Delta won the morning game but lost the after- noon game. With only 4 of the team leaving a strong squad is expected next season. Here is a few of the players and their best shots - DAVE NASBY: jump shot; TED NELSON: jump shot; GARY PAGE: two-hand set; BOB SOKOLOSKI: jump shot; FRED LAIDMAN: set shot; RICHARD VEEVERS: jump shot; DOUG PORTER: set shot; GREG MUNCE: one-hand set; STUART THOMAS: jump shot.
