Athletics began early for Newton this term when a team of tracksters represented the school at the Annual Scottish Games held in Polo Park on Labor Day. Immediately after, rugby began — this year our team being coached by Cam Doherty and Moe Simovitch. Soccer was also played during the fall, and the senior boys’ team, under Mr. Avery, won Newton’s first championship of the year. Then came volleyball and basketball for the girls and another championships for old Alma Mater when the Junior Girls’ Volleyball team under the coaching of Miss MacKay, finished on top. Expert coaching in swimming by our athletic directors paid off well, for a third championship was won by the boys’ swimming team. During the winter, intramural games in all sports were held — boys and girls trained in the basement hallway for track and field, the rugby team trained in the gym, comic basketball teams were originated, gymnastic classes were held for the boys, table tennis was introduced, and we were represented in the Inter-High School bowling and curling competitions. Unfortunately, due to the flood conditions, the Inter-High Track and Field Meet was postponed. Our own athletic directors Miss MacKay and Mr. Hrenchuk, the imported coaches Cam Doherty, Moe Simovitch, and graduate Harold Mauthe, have our thanks for their splendid work in making Newton’s athletics what they were in the ’49-50 year. RUGBY .... We Went Down Fighting The Newton High School ’49 Rugby Team never did win any games dur¬ ing the fall gridiron season but they exerted their best efforts. With only a handful of veterans left over from the previous year, Cam Doherty, “Mr. Football” of Winnipeg, was forced to fill the first-team vacancies with rookies. But Cam and Moe Simovitch worked tirelessly to field a team that was packed with speed, know-how, and power. Altho ugh the Norsemen were shellacked four times in season play they did gain the distinction of being the “best second-half team” in the High School Loop. Hats off to quarterback Sammy Dolhun, and to end Mike Olynyk who garnered berths on the Tribune “All- Stars” Team. Captain Paul Werby and brother Bill were two other boys who played their hearts out, and instilled a “never-say-die” spirit into the Newton gridders. Backing these fellows up were such hard workers as Sherback, Price, Pawlik, Kahl, Rynyk, the Ferens brothers, Byskal and Borowski. Bouquets go to Cam Doherty and Moe Simovitch for the fine job they did, to Mr. Armstrong for all his help and advice, and to the cheerleaders and waterboys. Congratulations for a job well done.
