Hockey OR THE second time in as many years, Gordon Bell was well repre¬ sented in the Inter-High Hockey League. Under the capable guidance I of Mr. D. S. McIntyre and Harry Badger, the team performed splendidly this season. Although it failed to achieve the success of last year’s aggre¬ gate, our hockey team succeeded in finishing in second place. Losing the first two games meant nothing to these boys, and they came through in fine style once they hit their stride. Finally defeated by Kelvin, Gordon Bell secured a deadlock with St. John’s and Daniel McIntyre for second place, and outstripped Isaac Newton. As well as the Inter-High competition, two friendly games were played this year with the Kenora High School hockey outfit. Although G. B. did not win these games, sportsmanship and fast hockey was the keynote of the encounters with Kenora. After the Winnipeg game, both teams were the guests of Miss Craven at dinner. Congratulations to the captain of this year’s team, Bill Edmonson— clever and fast-skating centre-forward, who proved a valuable asset to the | team. As well as Bill, the team consisted of: Hughie Allan—Small but remarkably clever goalie—only Purple and Gold representative on the All-Star team. Keith Chase—A fine defenceman with many a clever trick under his hat. Tom Jackson—Who gave a fine account of himself in the defence zone. Don Colquhoun—A clever left-winger with lots of stamina. Jack Edelstein—A hard-working right-winger, always on the go. Harry Armstrong—Diminutive right-winger, and one of the best. Jack Wann—A very steady centre man. Ken Ward—A fast-skating left-winger—always where he is needed. Hugh Hawkins—A late-comer who did very well on defence. Jack Scott—A defenceman who played like a veteran. Lorne Wanzell and Jim Primeau—Gave good accounts of themselves when called upon.

Soccer O UR SOCCER team this year was under the capable supervision of Mr. Fyles, who has a wide knowledge of the game. Before coming to Gor¬ don Bell, he managed the Daniel McIntyre team, which has always been a strong threat in Inter-High Soccer. The student body gave better co-operation in providing soccer players this term than it has in the past. Last season our team did not have a vic¬ tory to its credit, but this year we were a threat from the kick-off. At the close of schedule we ranked third, with seven points in our favor. Con¬ gratulations, Captain Whiteford! This 1933-34 team was formed both of Grade X and XI men, and there¬ fore we should have a good foundation for our 1934-35 squad. The team deserved better support than it received, although it did have three or four steady young lady supporters of the Purple and Gold. The team: Hawkins (goalie)—Although Hawkins makes a habit of coming to school late, he was seldom late in preventing a goal from being scored. He is one of the most outstanding goalkeepers in the Inter-High sports. Christie, Harp (defence)—These two men could give as well as take. They always “played the game” and proved indispensable to the team. Whiteford, Volkman, Phillips (halves)—This is none other than that sturdy half line of our last year’s squad. They made a perfect backbone for our team and broke up many a well-organized attack. Waylette, Boyd, Armstrong, Wood, Scott (forwards)—Though these men sometimes had their bad moments, they were always a menace to their opponents. This was especially evident when Armstrong, the smallest man on the team, was in action with his two wings, who would keep the ball in a scoring position for the line. Substitutes: Mullins, Eggertson, Russel, Creswell, Partington.

Inter-Room Curling Notes T HE newly-formed Gordon Bell Curling Club has proved to be a very successful venture. Under the supervision of Mr. Gow, some forty mem¬ bers started out this year and completed a fine schedule of games at the Fort Garry Curling Rink. As the season got under way, we again witnessed the rinks skipped by Mr. Jewett and Mr. Lamont forge their way ahead; but the “kid rink” skipped alternately by A. Whiteford, G. Allan, N. Christie, and G. Hiley, began a series of brilliant victories that carried it along until it annexed the school honors. Congratulations, boys! Yours was a well-deserved victory. Inter-High Notes Eager to repeat the colorful victories of our last year’s colleagues, Les Cohen and Claude Brereton, we entered four strong rinks into the Inter- High Bonspiel. The games were very strongly contested and in many cases the winners were not decided until the last rock had been thrown. Special mention should be made of G. Hiley’s rink, which stayed right in the run¬ ning only to be eliminated in the finals. The rinks which put up such fine exhibitions were skipped by A. Whiteford, G. Hiley, J. Baker, and J. Cowan. Well played, boys; you showed the real spirit of the wearers of the Purple and Gold. Congratulations to Daniel McIntyre for winning the Inter-High Bon¬ spiel. The NR A (no repeaters allowed) eliminated Glenn Allan, one of our leading curlers, from the Inter-High ’spiel. We take this opportunity to thank the teachers for their kind co-opera¬ tion and help which undoubtedly proved beneficial to the members of the club.
