NEWTONIAN 57 Sfionfo . . . SOCCER After being absent from the field for four years, Isaac Newton once again placed two companies into the breech of Inter-High competition. Un¬ der the able hand of Mr. Katz, the leading strategist, the brigades quick¬ ly martialled their ranks and hurled themselves against the opposing files. Due to a lack of nothing else but experience, the men in the field were overcome after a terrific battle for supremacy. Although this first attempt to achieve the crown was met by failure it is sincerely hoped that next year’s re-enforced ranks will go over the top in a successful campaign. The school’s best wishes are with them. Line-ups included: Senior “A” — Hykawy, Chandonet, Romanow, Pas- tiuk, Kushner, Semmer, Sawiak, Kor- mylo, Byrd, Gacek, Kanarsky, Permut, Handkamer, Tymchuk and Cartwright (captain). Senior “B” — Prokopow, Minuk, Willigan, Wagner, Koralewicz, Pollick, Smith, Aronec, Keller, Skwarek, Wesioly, Kostecky and Ingram. INTER-HIGH FOOTBALL Our school went into the rugby field this season with both feet; solid Mr. Ches McCance was there to make those feet run fast and tricky and Mr. Arm¬ strong and Mr. Babb made sure they had something to run in, to practice on, and to kick against. The club walked away with a 15-10 victory over Lord Selkirk to open a fast and furious sea¬ son. Swystun and Hans put on a splendid show and between them, car¬ ried the leather over for ten points. Bell brought the score up to fifteen with several other well-aimed plays. The glow from the first game’s vic¬ tory was slightly dimmed by a 17-6 defeat in a magnificently played game against the City Champs, St. John’s Tech. The team played hard and fast, with Scazinetski, Webster, Waldman, Heggie and Hans being outstanding. Our six points were brought home by Bell. A second victory was scored in the third game of the series. This time, the boys ran down Daniel Mac for a 23-14 win, with all members out to redeem themselves for their previous loss. Bell in the backfield scored 17 points. Shero, Hans, Stroppa and Zakala were conspicuous in the same theatre with their fine performances. Standouts on the line were Heggie, Scazinetski and Jolly. Swystun opened up his case of tricks and ran the score up to 22. A second loss was sustained in the fourth contest when Kelvin pounded our boys for a 12-1 victory. Our over- confidence helped Mr. Katz in this match, although old Newton gave a good account of itself. Heroic efforts were made by Swystun, Heggie, Malkie- wich, and Bandusiak. Stroppa, Shero and Hans supported them well in the backfield. Unfortunately, the club was pitted against a much heavier and more ex¬ perienced team in their next game. With spirits low, but undaunted hearts, the boys fought valiantly, but despite their efforts, suffered a 21-0 loss to Gordon Bell in this game. The line-up follows: W. Bell (captain), G. Heggie, S. Bandusiak, W. Birch, S. Buchko, W. Dohanek, J. Gelmych, F. Hans, E, La- brette, F. Lozanski, W. Malkiewich, T. Maxim, A. Monk, T. Nipper, C. Olcen, B. Procurnoff, C. Rubenstein, W. Rud- nicki, S. Scazinetski, E. Schollenberg, F. Shero, B. Sciba, G. Smith, J. Stroppa,

They were composed of members from Rooms (14+18), (124 1), 7, 15, 20 and 17. A round of games was played to get the teams into the swing of things and then began a knockout series. Room 17 defeated Room 14+18, Room 7 drub¬ bed Rooms 12+1 and Room 20 was set back on its heels by Room 15. These games left Rooms 15, 7 and 17 still in the running. Because of unsatisfactory ice at the Bulldogs, the Olympic was chosen for the finals. After a hard-fought struggle, Room 17 succumbed to the slight superiority of Room 7, losing out by 6-4. In the final game, Room 7 fell before the smooth attack of the Room 15 gang. Thus the new champions, Room 15, won the right to hang the shield in their room for this year. Congratulations to Room 15. A few general comments on this year’s games. The attendance at the games was by far the poorest on record. The cold weather may have had some¬ thing to do with this, but a desire for larger attendance was expressed by many. A notable characteristic of the games, was the scarcity of penalties handed out. The securing of satisfactory ice was again a problem and will pro¬ bably grow worse owing to the war. Our thanks are extended to Mr. Pearce who handled the hockey as well as he has always done. BASKETBALL Junior An inexperienced junior team, man¬ aged by Mr. Klassen and coached by Russ Pastuck ended its season in some¬ what less glorious manner than did the seniors. The boys sustained four losses against no victories, but gave their all in every game. Line-up: Pete Wesioly, Ted Lozanski, Mercelle Wesh- newecky, Isadore Coop, Norman Boyd, Ted Hominuik, John Spottar and John Palsnuck. Senior Our senior basketballers entered the league with Mr. Klassen as manager and Russ Pastuck as coach. To open the season our boys trounced Gordon Bell in a 32-20 victory. High man in this game Was Met Sawiak with 17 points to his credit. Due to an unfortunately timed illness, the team’s star wingman, Orest Hykawy was absent during the second game which was played against St. Paul’s. The team did not pack its usual punch and the St. Paul’s group seized the opportunity to chalk up a 38-36 win for themselves. However they needed an overtime period to do so. The game against Ravenscourt was another victory for the Red and Black. This time the team took the game by a 21-18 score. Orest Hykawy and Met Sawiak were the boys who glittered here. Still another victory was scored in a fast game against Tech, with the final score standing at 26-21 in our favor. The next performance was outstand¬ ing. Every member did as much as the next one and as a result, our boys succeeded in taking the game against Kelvin by a good margin, 24-16. In the following contest, we met defeat at the hands of Daniel Mac, 27-12, and thereby lost a chance to enter the play-offs for the championship. To end the season the boys met and defeated United College by a score of 34-20. This time, the stars were Met Sawiak and Krymsky. Although we failed to win the championship, our lads chalked up a fine record of five wins out of seven games played. Con¬ gratulations fellows. Line-up: Met Sawiak (capt.), William Bell, Steve Krymsky, Peter Sytchuk, Orest Hyka¬ wy, William Bidulka, Steve Butchko, Eugene Zakala, Nestor Swystun, Walter Baker and Walter Musick.
