64 Shewi. The 1955 Edition of the Loyola Ski Warriors travelled to Ottawa to participate in the Ot- tawa-St. Lawrence Valley Con- ference Ski Meet. Other colleges in the meet sponsored by Carleton College were: Sir George Wil- liams, Queens, Royal Military College and Ottawa University. The Loyola team was composed of Captain Wilf Snyder, Dave Scott, Pete Holland, D’Arcy Coul- son and Paul Levesque. At the end of the two day meet which consisted of downhill, slalom, cross-country, and jumping, the Ski Warriors were in second place, 3.5 percentage behind R.M.C. The downhill, held on the tricky Cote Du Nord trail, was won by Snyder, and Coulson was a close second and Holland a tired third. Paul Levesque, the fourth member of the downhill team, skied the top of the course in Olympic fashion and in all prob- ability would have bettered the course record had it not been for that birch tree at the bottom of the S turn. Wilf Snyder repeated his downhill performance with a victory for Loyola in the slalom. D’Arcy Coulson ended in sixth place while Holland, despite an inactive season, found himself hanging on the eleventh rung of the winners’ ladder. At the time of the prize giving for this race, Warrior Dave Scott was in the middle of his second run trying to decide whether to take the green flags high or low. On Saturday morning came the jumping. The results of this event showed Coulson in sixth spot and Holland and Snyder in Loyola's Ski Team, 1955. Standing, PAUL LEVESQUE, PETER HOLLAND, and D'ARCY COULSON; kneeling, Coach WILF SNYDER, who won the downhill and the slalom, and DAVE SCOTT. eight and ninth place respectively. The last event of the meet, the cross-country, was thought to be Loyola’s weak point but proved to be their forte. Coulson won the event, with Scott a panting third and Holland a weary fifth. Snyder lost his ski twice during the race but despite his misfortune ended seventh in the race. In the competition for the Skimeister Trophy, Loyola’s D’Arcy Coulson came second, Captain Wilf Snyder was third and team manager Pete Holland was fifth.

QUIN- Extramural basketball re- turned to Loyola after one year’s absence when the College entered a team in the M.B.L. Senior C. League. The Warriors ended their schedule with three victories and five defeats, which was good enough for the third and last playoff spot. They were elimin- ated from the playoffs by East End Boys Club, the two-game score being 119-105. After an impressive showing in their first three games, the team failed to hit their peak again, due mainly to a six-week =i } layoff during vacation and exam- ination time. The mainstays of the 1954-55 edition of the bas- ketball Warriors were leading scorer and co-captain, Gerry Dionne, hard-driving “Boston” Gagnon, defensive star Dave Viau, and bucket-man “Dutch” Martijn. A behind-the-scene standout for Loyola was Rev. Father Henry Smeaton, S.J., with- out whose assistance College bas- ketball would have been absent for a second straight year. —MIKE WADE TANILLA, A.
