Newtonian 67 BOYS ' SPORTS As far as High-School sports are concerned, Newton has always held its own. Although it has a smaller enrolment than any other high school, the Crimson and Black has gained four well-earned championships in 1946-47. The boys took the Rugby and Senior Basketball crowns, while the girls captured the Senior Volley¬ ball and Senior Basketball laurels. The high standards of co-operation and en¬ thusiasm have been largely responsible for this successful showing. Miss Griffiths, Mr. Avery, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Pierce and Mr. Klassen deserve much credit for their work in assisting the students in the various sports activities. RUGBY Never before had Newton a team as enthusiastic and co-operative as the Newton Gridders of 1946-1947. Al¬ though they were the lightest team in the league, they possessed the drive and desire that brought them the ultimate championship. Kippy McFayden, the all-star mentor, and Moe Simovitch were the clever coaches that sent the boys through their paces and taught them their dazzling plays. Mr. Arm¬ strong was again the faithful manager. Ritchie Kolisnyk, Yon Konarski, Joe Lucas, Vic Sawiak and A1 Simcoe made the all-star teams that the Winnipeg Newspapers select. Every player was really a star, but the high quality of co-operation within the team was the main factor in their success. For their sensational work, the play¬ ers, coaches and manager received “sharp” red and black leather jackets. To all those concerned with the team go our sincere appreciation and con¬ gratulations. SUMMARY OF RUGBY GAMES NEWTON vs. KELVIN In the opening game of the season, the Nor Westers defeated the Kelvin Clippers by a score of 16 to 1. The Nor’- Westers aerial attack was dazzling; Of the 17 passes attempted, 11 were com¬ pleted and dynamic Vic Sawiak was responsible for 8 of them. A1 Simcoe’s perfect strike to Allan Dryburgh re¬ sulted in a sensational touchdown. Mike Daski made the successful convert. Three points were gained by rouges. Simcoe then flashed around end on a lateral play for another major score. Daski’s convert was good. Nick Station then made a rouge for the final point. Thanks to Yon Konarski, Pete Saw- chuk and Joe Lucas, the front line was solid. NEWTON vs. ST. JOHN ' S In the second game the Nor’Westers blanked the bewildered St. John’s Techmen 25 to 0. Speedy Steve Witiuk and Mike Daski accounted for 17 of the points. Daski chalked up the first 6 points with a successful touchdown and convert. “Brains” Kolisnyk knifed over tackle for the next touchdown. The convert was missed, leaving the score at 11 to 0. Witiuk’s 50-yard sprint for a touchdown around end was a beauty. Daski’s touchdown and A1 Simcoe’s 39- yard field goal ended the game. NEWTON vs. GORDON BELL The fighting Nor’Westers turned back Gordon Bell 13 to 11 in the third game of the thrill-packed season. This game showed fine kicking, passing, running and blocking. After the Gee Bee’s took an early 6-point lead, Witiuk brought the ball to the one-yard line, where hard-hitting Harold Mauthe crashed over the line for the five points. Daski’s neat convert tied the game. After Charlie Sturtz and Harold Mauthe made a phenomenal gain of 60 yards, Sturtz plunged hard for the touchdown. The convert was good, making the score read 13 to 6. Gordon Bell’s uncon¬ verted touchdown ended the game with the score of 13 to 11 for the Crimson and Black. Joe Lucas and “Buggy” McBride were strong on the line, while Chuck Sturtz and Harold Mauthe were very aggressive in the backfield. NEWTON vs. DANIEL MAC In the fourth game of the season, the Nor’Westers defeated D.M.C.I. 12 to 5. Speedy A1 Simcoe went for the first touchdown, which Daski convert¬ ed. Daniel Mac’s touchdown, on a fumble, was their only score of the game. After Joe “Tiger” Lucas snaf¬ fled a fumble, Harold Mauthe smashed A
