Basketball and swimming came into their own, as did hockey, but before vc delve into them a resume of the football season should be appropriate. Clippers of Kennedy finished in third place with a record oi 3 wins and 2 losses. However, Kennedy proved to be the best offensive team in the league and also presented the second-best defense. Kennedy s rep¬ resentative in the new league (Tyro) went undefcatd to win its section championship. Two of oursenor players, Captain Lyle Warwick, and and Bob (Alfie) Bear, were nominated ' for the All-City team with two others, Jack Cates and Joe Koskic, obtaining honourable mention. Salute the Champs! Basketball . . , . . Seniors: As was mentioned by this writer when making predictions for the senior basketball team. Kennedy looked to he the class of the league, nnd after the end of the first game, the team showed much reason for this be¬ lief. Blasting awav at full power from start to finish, Kennedy figuratively swept Vocational off its feet with a convincing 30-13 heating. The future looked rosy in¬ deed But. like the stories of Horatio Alger, had luck Struck swiftly, and in the 2nd game, fed Back, veteran first-string center and one of the best shots in the city, hurt the knee which he had injured during the football season, and as events showed Ted was forced nut for the season. But that was not all that happened; ltol lMiibhs. star forward, turned bis ankle about three minutes later. Still Providence frowned, and an under¬ dog Assumption team went on to defeat the undermanned Clippers 21-13, wrecking tbc team’s chance for an un¬ beaten season. In the next game, with Back out and Phibbs suffering from his injury, Kennedy lost to its most bitter rival Patterson. At the game’s conclusion, most people began to think that, with Patterson going strong, the Clippers were out of the running. And so it seemed when in the next game Kennedy trailed Sandwich at half time. But after a pep talk by Mr. Riggs, tbc team came out fighting and in a thrilling finish, won by 2 points. Gaining confidence, the team turned on a helpless Walker - ville team and exploded a powerful offensive to beat Walkerville 50-7, giving Walkcrville but one point in the last half. No less than three Kennedy players made as many or more points than the whole W.C.I. team. Gaining more polish with every game the Clippers blasted their way past Vocational and Assumption. After the Assump¬ tion game, Kennedy had more reason to celebrate for Patterson was defeated by Sandwich, giving us a chance to get into the play-offs. Inspired by this chance the Clippers invaded the lair of the Patterson Panthers and in a thrilling overtime game came out victorious 21-17. Their play-off chance assured, the Clippers concluded the season in great style beating Sandwich and Walkcrville and finishing in a tie for first place. In the play-offs the team really bore down and. working like a well-oiled machine, tbc Clippers walloped Patterson in two straight games before capacity crowds by tbc scores of 2 M0, 27-11. The whole first team was outstanding with Boh Bear and Fabc Curry presenting an invincible defense and Bob Phibbs, Bob Krol and Charlie Kouvelas working splendidly up front. It would be unfair to choose any one player as the outstanding player of the team, unless it was the Captain Fabe Curry. The team was well represented on the All-City team; both Boh Krol and Boh Phibbs made the first team; Fabc Curry made the 2nd team; and Boh Bear received honourable mention. Other members of the team were
