THE NORTHLAND ECHO 35 GYMNASTICS The gymnastic team plays an impor- tant part in our annual open nights and cadet inspections. The team spends many hours in practice during the year and is deserving of the praise that is heaped upon it by the onlookers. Last year the inspecting cadet officer commended the boys for their daring feats and wonderful display. Ross Charlton, captain, is the out- standing member of the team and leads the following boys through their paces: R. McCambley, E. Beattie, F. Beattie, C. McManus, E. Byrnes, P. Jennings, G. Kirk, I, Martyn and H. Hughes, Two other boys will be chosen to round out this year's 12-man squad. HOCKEY JUNIOR B As usual the Collegiate entered a team in the North Bay Hockey Association this year and it turned out to be one of the best teams the Collegiate has had for years. There were only four players from last year's teamg the rest of the team consisted of players of juvenile age. There were five teams entered in the city league this year, while a sixth team was granted a bye into the finals. The green and white went through the entire schedule and play-offs without one defeat. Scollard Hall came through second in the league and met Sturgeon Falls, the privileged squad, in a sudden-death semi-final. Sturgeon Falls won this game but lost out to our boys in the final, 5 to 2. Thus the green and white recaptured the championship and The Nugget Shield. As a result of this triumph, the Col- legians earned the right to enter North- crn Ontario Junior B play-offs. In a 'very close game with Falconbridge they were defeated 4 to 3, having led all the way through the game, they were nosed out at the very end. The players: Goal, H. Devlin, Defence, L. Whitham, R, Pelletierg Centre, D. Hall, Forwards, R. Sibbitt, T. Frairg Alternates, F. Ringler, G. Kirk, B. Cummings, J. Duff, K. Wagner, G. Cockburn, J. Fin- nigan, B. Marshall and E. O'Donne1l. JUVENILE Coached by Rene Pelletier, defence star with the senior squad, with Mr. McCann as manager, the Juveniles gave a splendid account of themselves, show- ing plenty of promise. While they did not make the finals most of their games were very close. As was shown by this yca.r's senior team, the Juveniles will be in demand at a later date. The team: A. Cushing, Y. Guenette, M. Guppy, G. Cum- mings, R. Valenti, E. Valenti, E. Gigg, R. Conroy, F. West, Ranger, Wilson, Mantha. MIDGET The Midgets did not win their league title but made the games extremely close. The school's youngest players were big and fast with a surprising amount of hockey knowledge. The Juveniles should be well supplied with top-notch players next year. The team: Thompson, Kilgour, M. Cor- ner, Maxwell, Johnson, Santary, Carr, Gauthier, H. Whitham, Meisenheimer, W. Frair, Hanna. INTERSCHOLASTIC HOCKEY In this field of hockey the Seniors had to drop two regulars. The first obstacle was Sturgeon Falls and on outdoor rinks each school took a. game by a two-goal margin. Then at the arena the Sturgeonites were wal- loped 7-2. Kapuskasing, having previously de- feated Iroquois Falls, Cochrane and Kirk- land Lake, met our team in what was probably the best interscholastic game ever played in this city. Bolstered by a very large crowd, exceptional support from the student body, courage and the incentive to win, the school team won 3-1. The victory brought to us the Ennis Cup, emblematic of the Northern Ontario championship, for the first time. The team travelled to London for the Ontario Secondary Schools Association championship tournament. Three teams besides our own competed. They were Ottawa St. Patrick's College, Albert Col- lege from Belleville and Windsor Assump- tion College. The first night Ottawa St. Pats beat the green and white 2-1 and Windsor defeated Belleville 5-3. The following day Ottawa went on to win the title by virtue of an easy 9-5 win over Windsor. Our boys took Belleville 9-1 in an easier match. The closest game of the tourna- ment was Ottawa's 2-1 win. It was as close as could be. The score by periods was O-0, 1-1, 2-1 and the play was even closer. With two minutes to go, a goal, which would have tied the score, was disallowed. Although defeated the Col- legians completely won the London crowd and had them cheering their every move. IN TERFORM HOCKEY The surprising thing about the junior shield is that the First Formers have taken it from the older Second Formers three out of four times. This year 1E took it from 2B Voc. They beat their

LYLE VVHITHAM, Sports Editor All boys' sports arc under the super- vision of Mr. M. L. Troy, B.A.. who coaches all the teams with occasional assistance of a senior player, Speaking on behalf of the players on tho senior teams I would like to thank Coach Troy for spending his time and, at times. his money for our benefit. It is not only as coach and players as 3 fvx 26. that we come in contact. but as the best of friends. The only return that he asks is that each boy under him will develop into a clean-cut, courageous, honest young man. There is no need to say what a grand job he is doing: that is very evident. Once again from the boys and myself I would like to say, Thank you, Sir. swf' if -1-4' 1. -I'IXlC1'I'TlVlQS OF THE ATHLETIC SOCIETIES Back Huw: Tom lfrziir, Glen Wliitham. M. L.
