PACE SIXTY-IIVH • SENIOR BASKETBALL —By JOHN KUPICKI The uaion of 48-49 found the luckless Lowe (quad without a playoff birth. In the opening game against St. Joei, the Roughriders walked off with a 33-28 victory. The fir»t half of the game wa» exceptionally rough with many foul being called against both teams. Play was very fast in the first half although the scor¬ ing was very low, and ending with St. Joes, on top by a 17-14 score. In the second half both teams slowed down and played a smoother brand of ball. Macko, Skarbek and Bissett were scorers getting 8, 6 and 6 points respecti¬ vely. In the followinj game with Sandwich. Lowo lost a heartbreaker by the score of 48-41. The game was featured by smooth playing on the part of the Lowe team. Bissett and Skar¬ bek were high scorers with 10 and 8 points. Losing their next two games to Kennedy and Walkerville by scores of 43-32 and 43-38, the Roughriders had a 3 loss and 1 win record. Coach Arnold Harrison, very determined to make the play-offs, began to bear down on the squad in practices. Entering their fifth game against the Assumption Purple Raiders, the Lowe team were heavy underdogs. Flooring their regular team, the Roughriders got off to a good start and built up a comfortable lead at half time by the score of 21-19. The feature of the first half was a freak shot executed by Ed¬ die Rocheleau. In the second half, the Assump¬ tion team began to roll and steadily cut down Lowe ' s lead to one point late in the third quar¬ ter. In the fourth quarter, Lowe increased the lead steadily but again was cut down when BOYS ' SPORTS • SENIOR BASKETBAI.I Ufl to Right — P ul Macko Eddv Rochclcau Ed Skarbek Johnny Pillar Bob Dawson Scotly Bissett Pat Mailloux.

In the last game of the season, Riverside edged Lowe by the score of 28-21. This game featured a fast, accurate shoot¬ ing Riverside team taking the measure of a poor looking Lowe squad. • JUNIOR BASKETBALL The opening whistle of the season found St. Joseph ' s visiting Lowe on our floor. The game featured very rough play on the part of both teams. The Lowe cagers started slowly and trailed St. Joe’s by the score of 14 to 10 at half time.

Mr. Malkin, the great big husky coach, had the team out almost every night after school practicing. Vocational played four games, being de¬ feated three times and tieing once. They lost to Patterson 3 to 2, Riverside 4 to 0, and Walkcrville 1 to 0. The tied game was played against Ken¬ nedy. Even though they never won a game they had a great team on the field. They had spirit and co-operation, two of the three necessities of a championship team. They lacked support from the students, the third necessity. Gates and Skarbek were the outstanding players on the team, but every member of the team deserves credit, even the coach. • RUGBY The season of 48-49 proved Lowe ' s Rough- riders much smoother than the records carry them. Led by captain Jimmy Ash, the team defeated Kennedy in the first game of the sea¬ son 6—0. Although dropping their next four games to rugged opponents, the teamwork pro¬ ved well, as four of the team notables were chosen for mention berths in the city. Classy backfielder Scotty Bissett was cho¬ sen for the honourable mention berth and three linemen, Jimmy Ash, Joe Ivan, and Donald Do¬ rion were chosen for the mention berths. Coach Johnny Murray hopes to have an improved team next fall, despite the fact that a few injured players including Joe Balga and Melvin Rice will not see action. • SOCCER TEAM Front How— J.
