KRIZ, T4A-B The Rugby season of 1947 was not very bright for football fans of the Vocational School. The players, even though they put up a great fight, lost most of the games played—mainly because of a lack of experience and a de¬ ficiency in weight. Mr. Murray, our football coach, at the beginning of the season found that he was left with hardly any players that had played previously for the school team New players—first, second, third, and (some fourth formersli volunteered to give their all, and before very long a hot, handsome team rolled along. (Brother, they sure did roll ) The Rough Riders came through with flying colours when they won the first football game of the season from Sandwich Collegiate. Although the game was only a tune- up exhibition contest, both teams showed great form and fighting spirit. The Rough Riders had iust a little more of that stuff called oomph”, and edged out the Sandwich Spartans by a close score of 2-0. The boys tasted victory this once only, for all the following games were unfortunately lost. The first scheduled game was lost to the defending champs, Patterson Panthers, by an uncomfortable score of 17-3. The second and best game played by Vocational was against the Kennedy Clippers. We lost 11 to 8. Our old rivals, the W ' alkervillians, w’on the third game by the unusual score of II to 1. The next game w as lost to the Sandwich Spartans by the score of 9 to 0. The champion Purple Raiders w ' ere the opponents in the last game. That night there was not only our 1947 football game, but also we had on hand the original foot¬ ball team of 1922 which came to help us celebrate the 25th Anniversary ' of our school. Because of the superiority of the champion Purple Raiders, they won by the score of 29 to 6. It was a tough season all right, but due to the practice gained by the young players, the W. D. Lowe Vocational School team will be the team to watch in the future. Sports News from T2E— T2E took the second year Interform Hockey Champion¬ ship without opposition. X‘ith such players as Scotty, EdJv and Tommy, it was an easy victory. Every member of the team however, did his share in winning the Grade X lntcr- form Championship. They won the Interform Basketball Championship too. They are waiting to play the championship in Football. Due to cold w ' eathcr and snow ' in the late fall the game haJ to be postponed till spring.
