THE KEN COLL 194 4 27 Charlie Kouvclas, llurold Grice, Jim Howie, Mike Yutu z, Jim Spurgeon, Ted Mesiasz, I ' ed lluek. Juniors: The Junior team coached by Mr. Beckett, al¬ though they diil not fare so well, showed promise for next year. The team ended with a record of 3 wins, 7 losses. Outstanding on the team were lan Howie (Captain), Brock McLeod (high scorer) and Carl Zalev, The mem¬ bers of the team were J. Tisdale. J. Gladys, G. Plcnder- leith, J. Alexander, G. Edwards, D. Cock, M. Healey. L. Haugh. Senior Hockey The senior hockey team made a tine showing this year and with the excellent coaching of Mr. Thompson, reached the semi-finals. The team was well balanced, but Earl Brandy, par¬ ticularly stood out as the scorer of ten of tlie team’s twenty goals. The rest of the team consisted of: Jack Cates (Captain), Jack Cape, Harold Meneghini, Pete Wygant, Bill Hunter, Joe Koskie, Norm Cazzola, Bill West, John Steer, Ted Budzynski, Bob Hladki, and the goalie Edward Hallewick. Swimming Senior Boys: It seemed to be Kennedy ' s year in swim¬ ming too, for the Kennedy natatois took the Boys’ and Girls’ Championships. The Senior Boys led by A. Gal¬ braith, Mike Yuhasz and P. Wygant swept through for an easy division championship outscoring Patterson by 11 points. Junior Boys: The Junior Boys led hv Don Irwin and Ii. Simula went to town and took their division cham¬ pionship also. They were about 15 points ahead of their nearest rival Patterson. Kennedy relay team won the majority of the relay races as our boys and girls proved just too good for the rest. Track Now with the swimming and basketball over, the boys are looking ahead to track and the prospects look rather fair. In the senior division Bob Krol, last year ' s inter¬ mediate champ, Bill Hunter. Ed. Pillou, Lyle Warwick, G. Merctsky, J. Pacey and Bob Bear should form a strong team. Stan Oleksitik, speedy young junior, moves up to intermediate ranks where he will litul the going tougher but should fare rather well. It is difficult to fore¬ cast how much hidden talent exists among the juniors and juveniles but on the records of past years, Kennedy should have a fair bunch of youngsters when Field Day time rolls around. Sport Gossip— B. Krol Boh Bear has definitely joined the U.S. Navy, and Pete Wygant, the Canadian Navy. We again wish the best of luck to two swell guys—J. Cape. Hon Johnson, Ted Back and Harold Grice have joined the R.C.A.F. How will they ever get Harold in the plane without making a special turret for him? Only kidding, Harold. Luck to all of you. Kennedy Seniors went to London to play basketball; the score speaks for itself. K.C.I.. 38: London Teck. ). Have you seen Joe Koskie’s hair yet? Ha!! Ha!! and Jim Howie ' s too? We bear that Mrs. Higgs sat through the whole Patterson game (21-17) with her fur coat on, not daring to take it off for fear of giving old K.C.l. bad luck, flow’s that for team loyalty? Have you ever heard the Beer Barrel Trio, Krol. Curry, and Bear in “You Can’t Go To Heaven”. Ask Mr. Higgs, he had to suffer all the way to London and hack. We hear Joe Ko kie S pet song is “Dig Me That Binomial Theorem ”. How about it Miss Vrooman? Well, Well, That’s All!! Hello Grads. Good-bye Kennedy! Junior Hockey The junior hockey team earned the last place in the play-offs by upsetting Patterson 1 to 0, and then won the semi-finals in a two-game total-goals round with Patterson by the score of 4 to 3.

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
