STEVENSON, PETE COLLEY, JACK MOR- GAN, LARRY WESSMAN, PETE CATH- CART and HOWIE CAIN were all tired out from scoring touchdowns and making long gains. Stevie, our scoring leader, in particu- lar, came out looking like the before picture in a bandage company ad which Morgan bought after he broke his collar bone. The halves were very fast and some- times when somebody didn't arouse the ire of the referee causing him to inflict a pen- alty upon us, they went for T.D.'s. However, because of this foolish habit of ours. none of the backs was able to score a T.D. in the last game and so they let NOEL COULING, who is one half of the COULING-TONY CARDILLO flying wing set, score it. Noel hardly said a word all year, but Tony made up for him telling those ends where to block. Oh, ends. Well they're on the out- side of the middles and the men holding down that spot were JOHNNY DAY. BILL HILLIS. FRANK FORSTER, MERV. BOL- TON, TERRY PADDISON, RAY LETHER- EN, BOB McVITTIE and BILL FRANK. They were usually the ones who stuck up their grubby paws and hollered for the pass and unusually they usually caught it. How- ever this still hasn't cleared the bench, for that figure which you fans always mistook for a mannequin for a trench coat ad is in reality our coach, Mr. McFadden, who took ACTA NOSTRA IOI care of the administration part of the club and who was ably assisted by our two man- agers, Dave Hull and Dennis Teskey. I would like to extend the team's thanks to Pauline Johnson, Kitchener and Brantford whom we beat and also to extend a warning to Eastwood and Galt that they will also suffer a similar fate next year. -Jim Farley XIID. G.C,V.I. JUNIOR GAELS BUDDY ROGERS--Cha-Cha. was one of the funniest and fastest half-backs on the Juniors. RUDD RUDDY4Rudd was the workhorse of the Junior backfield and thrilled the fans when he got the ball. Brian was the back- field captain of the team. BILL MITCHELL- Big Mitch was the big wheel of the team this year by scoring six touchdowns and passing for four others. He was also the best punter in the I.R.L. DAVE FAIRFULL-Dave proved to be a driving fullback. His method of running bull-legged gained him many yards. BILL KEFALAS--Bill, in his rookie year in collegiate football, proved that he would develop into a very fleet halfback. BRAD YOUNG-Brad has one more year of Junior football and should develop into a Very good flying wing next year.

one of the speed demons on the team this year. BOB VANCE-With three more years of Junior football, Bob should become one of the fleetest backs in the league. DON GEMMELL-Don showed the fans what a bone-shaking tackle was this year. He was also a very good pass receiver at his end position. JOHN WOOD-John was one of the fast- est and best ends in the league this year. GEORGE HOLMES and REG DARNELL -These two should develop into very good ends before their football days are over. Although inexperienced this year, they show potential. PHIL CLENDENNING and GEORGE SUITTER-were the big bruisers on the team. With a combined weight of over four hundred pounds, they helped give the team a solid front line. ROY MASON-Roy proved to be a very good snap. He also handed out many great tackles. JAY MCARTHUR - Big John was Bill Mitchell's understudy at the quarterback slot. Next year he should really shine. KEN HARRIS-A fiery competitor in ev- ery game, Ken was chosen as the line cap- tain. His fine blocking and tackling made things brighter for the backfielders. FRED SEVESTRE-Fine tackling marked Fred as a potential star, and he should be- come one of the finest linesmen in the league. JOHN BARNABY-Although he missed most of the season because of a leg injury, John showed that he could hand out a jar- ring tackle. BOB BROWN-As a fleet, small halfback. Bob should be a prominent member in the back.field next year. DOUG DICKENSON-Doug was one of the hardest driving linemen on the team. In almost every game he played sixty min- utes. AL FOX-Al was the best pass receiver on the team. Al also did a good job of gaining yards on the ground. ACTA NOSTRA I 03 Other players who contributed to a very successful season were: KEN EDWARDS. BILL MAXWELL. SCOTTY VICKERS. BARRY FOSTER. DAVE McPHEE and GREG HANNON, RON HOLLIDAY and DAVE WRIGHT, as managers, attended to the aches and pains of the Juniors and did a fine job of it. MR. BURNETT and MR. MILLER whip- ped a raw squad into top shape and a title finalist. Everyone enjoyed playing under these two mentors. -Ron Holliday. G.C.V.I. INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL 1956 Grades XII and XIII In these groups XIIIBC, captained by Ted Noonan, emerged victorious. trouncing XIIIA by a score of 4-1-19. and XIICD by a decisive victory of 31-0. One game was won by de- fault. Grade XI XIC. captained by Bill Strachan, were the eleven champs this year. They de- grade feated XIAB. 19-03 XID, 20-12: and won one game by default. XID were runners-up. Grade X Dave Cutten was captain of XE and led his team to victory with two wins and one by default. They beat XAF, 32-123 and XCD. 18-0. These were decisive wins and proved beyond doubt Cutten had done a splendid job as captain. Grade IX The grade IX battle for first place was perhaps more exciting and full of more enthusiasm than any other group. Such scores as 14-12 and 13-12 and 26-25 created excitement until the bitter end. Al Davis captained IXEF to victory with three wins, Two games were very close. but one was decisive when they beat IXGH Iwho. inci- dentally, were runners-up! 10-O.
