BalJzetball OUR JUNIOR CAGERS Brought Home the Bacon . . . Sixteen games played, sixteen games won and Newton finally had a Junior Championship by wresting it away from the domineering Daniel Mac squad. The young cagers wrapped up a 12 game schedule without even a threat from the second place Kelvin quintet who ended up with a 7 won and 5 lost record. The stiffest competition during the schedule was offered by the once mighty Daniel Mac team and the last place Gordon Bell squad. Such steady performers as Krywonis, Dolhun, Pura, Shukster and Kostiuk overcame any first-half deficits and went on un¬ defeated. Our traditional Tech rivals offered us very little trouble. The Norwester’s keenest and softest competition was not witnessed in the regular schedule but in the four ex¬ hibition games. At a basketball game and dance Newton had the fans in a frenzy as they edged a fighting Nor¬ wood Collegiate outfit 36—32 after being extended into two overtime per¬ iods. The following day the Juniors journeyed to Portage and solidly trounced a disorganized Portage squad 61—10. Bob Kostiuk ran wild over this weekend by swishing through 17 and 30 respectively. Our next most consis- tant point getter was “Iron Man” Joe Pura. Laurie Ostry, Bernie Shukster, George Klohn, and Ed Dolhun also had their turns as top scorers. We would like to congratulate Mr. Madder the genial manager of the team who did such a splendid job, al¬ though it was his first year in Newton. Also much of the credit is due to the untiring patience of the coaches, Ketchen, Ingaldson, and Komishon. Their keen ingenuity and outstanding masterminding paid off in an undefeat¬ ed series and Championship. Members of the team are as follows: Joe “Elbows” Pura — High scoring guard. Snares rebounds under either bucket. Ernie “Tex” Krywonis — Keen defen¬ sive guard. Deadly on his two hand jump shot. Bob “Bingo” Kostiuk — Captain, wing and high scorer. Enjoys outjump- ing taller opponents. Bernie “No Nickname” Shukster — Centre, steady and defensive player. Serious threat from any¬ where on floor. Ed “Shorts” Dolhun — Patrols left wing like a speed demon. One hand push-shot artist. Laurie “Lover Boy” Ostry — Fortun¬ ately for the team, he runs hot when the chips are down. George “Hooker” Klohn — Tremendous height and deadly set shots. Was a great asset to the team. Orest “Orky” Bartman — Pops them from the hip and keeps every¬ body wondering how. Don “Donuts” Schaefer — Reversed from minute man to hour man. Most improved player. Irvin “Buck” Bakun —Sidelined for part of season, but finished in fine style. OUR SENIOR SQUAD . . . The Newton Senior Basketball team had to drop from Inter-High competi¬ tion, because organized players were not allowed to play. The Senior Boys wished to show their talents, and there¬ fore they arranged for exhibition games. The first game was against Portage on their home grounds. We outplayed in every field and won 43—27. The next game was against Portage at Sargent to the tune of 59—22. We lost the next game to Glen- lawn by a narrow margin of 44—43. The Senior Boys outlasted the Glen- lawn boys in the next match 52—48. Congratulations to Mr. Madder for his enthusiastic aid in organizing the game and practices. Hal Mauthe, former students, should not be forgotten for his great coaching through the short season. 56 Isaac Newton High School

Sr. Soccer Squad The senior soccer players were set on retaining the Championship crown for the second consecutive year. However, rugby interfered and put a crimp in Newton’s hopes. Nevertheless our boys did not give up without a real struggle. In their first debut, they met the Gordon Bell eleven, with only seven fighting hearts. The Newton squad fought to the bitter end, which result¬ ed in Gordon’s favor, 5—4. In the spot¬ light was Ian Richardson who time after time battled the ball into the Gordon zone, finally getting a goal. The big gun of the evening was Leo Konyk who fired 2 goals past the Gordon rear guard. Ab. Glovitski from the half line fired in the other counter. In the rear guard protecting “Jazzy” Ingaldson were Ed Leipz and Barry Krawchuk. Up front were Henry Small and Joe Krutish our speedy wingmen. Ingaldson, the goalie, was pulled out to play forward in the late stages. In their second encounter against Newton’s North-End rivals, the Tech- men, Newton performed spectacularly under the inspiration of the Newton cheerleaders. Tech took the lead on a disputed goal. After stopping Pank- hurst, time and time again, “Gabby” finally slipped one past Ingaldson to make the score 2—0. In the second half Ed Leipz our fiery fullback placed a blazing drive in the top left hand corner and the score stood 2—1. Krutish, Richardson, Konyk and Small played brilliantly up front, while Leipz, Krawchuk, and Ingaldson per¬ formed yeomen service in the back positions. On defeating a fighting Newton squad, Tech went on to capture the crown. Under the guidance of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Avery, the boys displayed great enthusiasm, and both the school and team thank them for their interest in soccer at Newton. P.S. 1952 —MAYBE! Warden: “I’ve been in charge of this prison for 10 years, and that calls for a celebration. What kind of a party would you boys suggest?” Prisoners: “Open house!” SENIOR BOYS ' SOCCER 1950-51 FRONT ROW (left to right)—Joe Krutish, A1 Glovitski, Bert Rynyk, Nestor Mickoski, Fred Ingaldson.
