Nineteen Fifty PHOEBUS pw-C 3 FOOTBALL DEBUT A new sport has been introduced into the Leamington High School, in the form of Football, with new uniforms being purchased. Gamma emerged on top in the House League with Beta holding second. A three game series was played against Tilbury with Alpha, Delta and Gamma providing the opposition. The closest to victory was Gamma with a 1 to 1 tie. The school team played Sandwich Collegiate of Windsor and, while losing, gained valuable experience. The mentor of the School and Gamma teams was Mr. Clem Forman, who was for several years a coach at Walkerville Collegiate. The other coaches in the House League were Mr. Nicholson, Beta; Mr. Bishop, Delta; and Mr. Gleeson, Alpha. A County League is anticipated for next year. SOFTBALL When the warm summer months commenced softball became the most important sport of the Leamington Hi gh School students. In the Senior League the Deltas made a comeback after the two-vear slump and overcame the Beta boys in the final game to win the Senior Championship. Also in the past season a junior class of ball was carried on. Beta proved to be the stronger team by defeating Gamma in the playoffs, capturing the Junior Boys Crest. At the beginning of the school year the Grade 9 ' s were organized into teams according to their Houses. Some of the boys appeared a bit rusty on the game, but a few will make the junior and possibly the senior teams next season. The Beta squad, much to our surprise, defeated Gamma to win the series. Agam the Gamma girls captured the championship for this season ' s softball, although Delta was close. Isabelle Stewart, captain of the Gamma team, received the cup and crests presented by Mr. Cobbeldick on behalf of the Leamington High School Board. As the softball leagues are no longer able to draw suffient public support to operate without a loss, and as football and basketball require any extra House funds for their continued operation, it is the opinion of the staff that the softball leagues cannot function in 1950. Our lights and benches should be moved this summer to the football field and this fall your football can be made a paying proposition.
