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.

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.

Front Row—Henry Fleming, Stuart Chalmers, Arthur Mann, Douglas Radford, Bert Balsom. Absent—Bernard Swanson THE RIFLE TEAM One of the activities of our school about which there is no great pub¬ licity is shooting. Throughout the academic year instruction and prac¬ tice are given on the miniature range, within the school, to those boys who have obtained the con¬ sent of their parents. Several matches are fired and very creditable scores have been recorded both in this and former years. The chief event is the “King George 5 Cup” match which is fired on the Cove ranges in Lon¬ don in October each year. This match brings together teams from practically all the larger and many of the smaller schools in Western Ontario. This year seventeen teams were entered. The competition was very close, the winning team not being known until the last com¬ petitor had fired. The results of the day’s shoot for our school were ouite encouraging as the members of the team brought back two med¬ als as well as the team prizes. Bernard Swanson won the D.C. .R.A. bronze medal for sixth place in the individual aggregate out of 136 competitors, while Bert Bal¬ som won the gold medal for the highest score at 300 yards out of a like number of competitors. Han¬ dicapped as we are owing to the lack of an official outdoor range, this is considered an excellent showing.
