' w 14 s ,,,Ya..a..-s.a-as . 9519559 L95 'BOYS' JUNIOR BASKETBALL Back Row: Sandy Holmes. Dick Holmes, Harvey Gray. Ken Richards. Davy Jones. Front Row: Doug Henderson. Len Beatty. Dick Riddle. Grant Burrows, Dick Bradshaw. Missing: Roy McMahen fcaptainj. Basketball took a prominent place in Garneau High School's first athletic year. Garneau fielded a team in the inter-school junior League. Only a junior team was entered as there was only one boy in the school who had senior number as worked out by the McCoy system. In exhibition games in pre-season play the team made promise of bringing honor and glory to the school. When the league began january 15, they won their first game against U.I-l.S., but as is sad to relate. they lost the rest of their league games. In all fairness to the team, many or most of their games were of the heart-breaker type. That is they lost by very close scores of 2 or 3 baskets. One example of this type of game was the exhibition game with XVestglen after the close of the schedule. It was a wide open game with plenty of scoring, but Westglen did us out by the score of -ll to 40. Inter-room challenge games became popular when competitors for the school team became hard to get. The Students' Union furnished the boys with blue basketball sweaters with gold lettering. The boys themselves bought red shorts to complete their outfit. It is hoped that next year the sweaters can be dyed wine or maroon so we will have our basketball team wearing school colors. The team was under the direction of Mr Botsford.

l NINETEEN FORTY-SIX 15 THE MIGHTY GARNEAU RUGBY MACHINE Back Row: Gordon Nieman, Bob Huckell, Sandy Holmes, Dick Riddle, Bill Johnson Dick Holmes, Dick Bradshaw. Front Row: Harvey Gray, Gordon Holgate, Len Beatty, Gary Steeves, johnny Clark jack Collins, Ken Riddle. Doug Henderson. Despite the fact that we had one of the smallest enrollments of any High School in the city, it was decided to field a team in the Inter-High School junior Rugby League. With the help of Mr. Allison, who supervised the boys, practices began. The boys had no uniforms or equipment, but despite the lack of these essential articles, they went ahead with their schedule. To say that they did not enjoy a very successful season might be considered a mastery of understatement, but allowances must be made for their lack of success. The scores for those who wish to rehash the past were: Westglen 49, Garneau Og Scona 28, Garneau 5 and Victoria 50 Garneau O. The advent of winter mercifully cut the rugby season short with half the schedule unplayed.
