The W indsor-Walkerville Technical School Year Book 37 r A t i against older and more experienc¬ ed opponents. We hope the increase in regis¬ tration next year will provide us with material for a junior team and develop the younger boys in competition with their equals. We were pleased with the fine showing our “youngsters” made in senior company. Under the captaincy of “Beanie” Parent, the team performed in a creditable manner. The long runs of Vie and Anderson, line plunging of Brent and Tobin and the tackling of Joe Mason were outstanding features of our team. The accompanying cut shows the generous support of our school to this exciting pastime. -o- OUR CADET CORPS “This corps is improving each year and is in the runners up for General Efficiency Trophy for M. D. No. 1.” Such is the essential part of the report of Lieut. Col. Gillespie who was the inspecting officer at the annual inspection of Windsor Walkerville Technical School Cadet Corps No. 1112, held in Lanspeary Park on June 1st, 1927. This report is further strengthened by the fact that in every department the corps was rated “Very Good.” The Bugle Band was specially mentioned as being one of the best in the dis¬ trict. This is a fine tribute to the work of Instructors Denean and Neale and the Cadet person¬ nel of the band. It is also a very gratifying fact to note that the standing was raised from fifth place in 1926 to third place in 1927. This is a record for the school and corps to be proud of, especially when it is considered that this is one of the youngest corps in M.D. No. I 1 , which comprises most of Western Ontario. In addition, as many of the cadets enrolled are only in school one or two years, this entails an immense amount of work on those responsible for the training of the corps. The personnel of the Cadet 01 f- icers for 1927 was as follows:— Battalion Commander — Julius Goldman. Battalion 2nd Commander—Jack Blackton. A. Co. Co. Commander—Leo Gold¬ man. Platoon Commanders:—Chapman, Courtenay. B Co. Co. Commander—McArthur. Platoon Commanders: — Kersey, Hull. C. Co. Co. Commander—Roy Pas- hak. Platoon Commanders:--Theobald, McDonald. Signal Section—Jones. Stretcher Bearers—John Parent. Band—G. Gelinas. (Walter Up.

This year’s team, a combination of new players, shows plenty of spirit and fight to win, but lacks team work and tricks that come to a team that has played together for a year or so rather than a few months. But the team as a whole is a great credit to the school. Althou gh they did not win the championship, they gave the other teams a great scare. League games were not numer¬ ous so to satisfy the appeal of the players, many other teams were challenged and played, with disast¬ rous results for most of them. With Fisher and Hoole at guard, and Vie, Anderson, and Hull on the forward line. Tech has one of the best basketball teams ever turned out. -o- • RUGBY The rugby situation at Tech, presents the usual difficulties of a rapid turn-over of students. Not having enough players to form a junior team, we are forced to go into higher ranks with a team made up of a few seasoned players and a large number of young candi¬ dates playing the game for the first time. While these boys poss¬ ess all the qualities of good play¬ ers, they lack self-confidence

SOCCER The Soccer team played a very good game this year, but were not strong enough to carry a victory over Windsor or Walkerville Coll- egiates. The players were light and could not penetrate the heavy line of the defence of their opposi tion. They played their best game with Windsor when they held that eleven down to a final score of 1-0 in Windsor ' s favor. The team at all times played fair and fought hard, and were always backed up by their coach, Mr. Bennett. BOYS’ BASEBALL Teck’s baseball team was a small, fast nine last year, and although they did not come out on top, they played a fast game. They won their first game with W.C.I. with a score of 4—3. They lost their next two to Assumption College and W.C.I. In their next game with Assump¬ tion, the y played an eleven inning but failed to defeat Assumption by 5—2. Langlois, the first baseman, received the glove given to the player who got to first base oft- • enest.
