It was a Junior and Senior event which started at the Windsor Collegiate Stadium, went out to the Huron Line and back to the Stadium. The run was made in good time, and the results are as follows: T. Tanyai came in first for the Juniors— time, 20:30 min. Nice running, Tanyai. T. Patterson came in second and J. Stone, L. Anderson, R. Giroux and S. Sobocan came in third, fourth, fifth and sixth respectively. The Senior time was twenty minutes even, with W. Byrne setting the pace, followed by A. Ukrainec, J. Brndjar, D. Price, M. Pring, and A. Whyte in that order. -BILL WEIIMNGKR. SWIM TEAM • SWIM TEAM Even though this school does not have a swimming pool, our Swimming Team, coached by Mr. B.

Although the win column this year showed a very small “two and the loss column a very large “five”, after each game Vocational ' s oppo¬ nents knew they had been up against a basket¬ ball team. As long as the Rough Riders come through with scrappy teams of that calibre, we’ll be out there in full strength to cheer them on. • BASKETBALL The 1946- ' 47 season was no more successful than the 1945-’46 season, if one considers only the wins and losses column. Meeting, in nearly every case, towering — and we do mean towering — opposition, it was a matter of a good big team beating a good small team. But if looked at from the standpoint of thrills and excitement, the Rough Riders could always be depended Back Row PONGRATZ, CHISTOFF, CV1TK0VITCH. PICKERINC ABRAMOVICH. Middle Row— MR.

Their rivals, the Walkerville Tartans, again man¬ aged to give them a shaking (5-3), and the Clip¬ pers took a close game (2-1). The Rough Riders then battled hard to out¬ play Patterson (1-0). This put them in the play¬ offs for second place. They played the next game in shining style, but lost a close game to the Clippers (1-0). With four wins and five losses for the season they finished in third place in the League. The Vocational Rough Riders Soccer Team got off to a good start by walking over Edith Cavell (7-1), and clipping the Kennedy Clippers (2-1). Then the Rough Riders slackened, as Walkerville and Patterson beat them by 3-0 scores. With the first half of their season gone, they again tackled Edith Cavell victoriously (3-2). i ?4 ■ v | 4 y $ u ■ f R t •, .sJlLflJI L w 9 f r A

They were so hot that Chatham forfeited their semi-final games which put us in the finals. Perhaps it was over-confidence, or perhaps fate was against us, but a surprise was in store for the Windsor Champs. The Lowe Champs lost the W.O.S.S.A. two game total point series 11-8, to a powerful Strat¬ ford team. The Rough Riders entertaining Strat¬ ford at Windsor in the first game of the series suffered a 6-3 set back and were unable to over¬ come a three goal advantage as they bettled the Stratfords in the second game at the Stratford Arena to a 5-5 tie. Stan “Smoothie” Palmer scored a lone hat trick with three goals and one assist for the highest score of the night. Walter Pee Wee” Humeniuk, playing one of his best games in goal, was sensational while Billy Core, Glen Skov, and Ed Spit” Toze looked very good. For Strat¬ ford, Hurley the Goalie was exceptionally good. On the whole, the Lowe Hockey Team was senrWtional, end showed the public fast and thrilling hockey. -RAY GRANT. T4-B. Sports Editor.
