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.

PAGE SIXTY-EiGH ' l BOYS ' SPORTS • INTERMEDIATE TRACK TEAM John Becic Gordon Scratch Harold Hewitt Mr. J. Murray J oc Sobocan Ken Coon Phil Bur back. • TRACK AND FIELD The intermediate track team went down to Windsor Stadium to compete in the Windsor Secondary Schools Association annual track meet. The team had high hopes of winning the championship as it was composed of some star athletes. Burback and Becic, the two top per¬ formers of the team, tied first for individual honours, each with 16 points to his credit. Although strongly paced by these two, the rest of the team lacked in performance. Scratch and Mailloux didn’t quite make the grade in the hurdles. Coon, throwing the discus, missed get¬ ting some points as his heaves were short. In the half mile, Sobocan placed fifth, also missing the point mark. Hewitt, in the pole vault, lost out in inches. Patterson won this championship. In London, however, it was a different story. Competing for the Western Ontario Secondary Schools Association Intermediate Track title, the team came through with flying colours. Six members of the team competed. Burback and Becic were again the main cogs, placing in every event record. Becic, who broke the shot-put record in Windsor five days pre¬ viously, broke another one at London with a heave of 44 feet. His throw at Windsor was better, estabishing a record of 45 feet, which will remain for a long time. Coon won the discus throw, collecting two points. Sobocan, Scratch, and Hewitt made good tries, but didn t quite manage to collect any points. Mr. Murray was a proud man as he posed with the team when they had their picture taken for the Year Book. • • • GOLF TOURNAMENT —By BOB CONROY The annual Windsor Secondary Sc hools Asrociation Golf Tournament was held at Rose- land Golf Club, Thursday, September 23, 1948. The weather was not too ideal for golf as the v ind was rather strong and quite cool. Very good scores were turned in. Ken¬ nedy Collegiate Institute, the winners of the tournament, turned in a score of 361. Our Vocational team came a very good second with a score of 384. Rudy Cherniak, 88} Peter Salich, 96; Ronald Bcndick, 97; Emil; Breschuk, 103; Dick Bendick, 106. Sandwich followed with 394, Walkerville with 400, and Patterson with 446. As you see, the competition was very stiff and the boys of the team deserve congratula¬ tions and, of course, Mr. Augustine, the coach. • GOLF TEAM Dick Bcndick Mr. Augustine Emil Breschuk Ron Bendick Rudy Cherniak Absent — Peter Salich.
