In King; and Mc¬ Arthur the school had two of the best guards in the group. Its for¬ ward line composed of J. Goldman, Gillette and Maisonville proved ex¬ ceptionally good. Its reserves, L. ; Goldman, Vie, Blackton, Bullard and Hull helped the team in its quest for a group title. Coach F. McGrath was helped by Cap. Don King, to guide the des¬ tinies of the teams. The team played a total of eleven games, winning seven of these. SOCCER Tech enters a Soccer Team each year in the Senior WOSSA contest. We have not met with signal suc¬ cess in this sport up to the present but we have at least done very creditably, having been opposed for the past two years to the well-or¬ ganized Walkerville WOSSA cham¬ pionship team. Soccer in the past has not interested Windsor greatly, but is gradually gaining consider¬ able favor. This is so in the school, and each year, an increasing num¬ ber are entering the soccer field. Soccer is an excellent game for training in team work and in sports¬ manship, and we expect to see it develop much in the near future. i ✓ 36

S - P - O - R - T - S • HOCKEY Canada’s great winter sport was first played by the Windsor-Walker- ville Technical School in January, 1924. During that winter and in 1925 we performed in the Junior W.O.S.S.A. series, while the season of 1926 saw us step up into Senior W.O.S.S.A. competition. The 1927 season finds us back once more ii the Junior W.O.S.S.A. series, where it would seem that we rightfully belong. After three lean years of unsuccessful endeavour vve have, it is hoped, passed the turn in the road. This winter’s team has acquitted itself most creditably. Several exhibition games have been won, but more im¬ portant, four W.O.S.S.A. games have been played and won. In our own group Windsor Collegiate In¬ stitute was defeated by a score of 7-1 and Walkerille by 13-0. Then came the semi-finals against the Watford High School. The first game was played in Watford on Feb. 8th and was won by Tech, 4-2. In the return game here on Feb 14th, Tech, won even more decisively, the score this time being 8-1. The team representing our school qualified for the finals. Our opponents were the strong Stratford Collegiate Institute, last year’s Champions and though we were able to hold Stratford to a 1-1 game on Windsor ice we could not overcome their three-point lead se¬ cured in the game at Stratford where the score was 5-2. 35

Last fall in Toronto at the Annual Track and Feld Meet for the Second¬ ary Schools of the Province, Wilfred MacArthur represented our school. In competition with the best athletes of Ontario, Wilfred showed his pole- vault prowess by defeating all the other contestants, clearing a height of IF 6”. Here ' s hoping that our Ontario champion will soon be a Dominion Olympic winner. Field Day It was a glorious day for our school because, in spite of the fact that we did not actually win the shield, we gave the other schools a run which they will not forget. In preparation for this event the girls of the Technical School were coached by Miss Beasley and Miss Connerty, while Messrs. Wood and McGrath had charge of the boys. The athletes showed great promise and it certainly looked bright when, on the event of the Technical School Field Day nine previous high school records were beaten. Excellent weather conditions favoured the advent of the Inter- High School Field Day at Stodgell Park and good athletics were wit¬ nessed by a record crowd. Five schools entered the contest; (1) Sandwich Continuation School; (2) Assumption College; (3) Wind¬ sor Collegiate; (4) Walkerville Col¬ legiate and (5) our own School. The points were awarded as follows: Windsor Collegiate 110; Tech 103; Walkerville 69; Assumption 25; Sandwich 7. Our girl athletes are to be con¬ gratulated on their success in their
