p,,,,,.1:,',-,yi ruff 11on'Lz5R, 193-l ---BUYS sposrs--H ORTH Toronto can look back on her sports achievements of the past year with justifiable pride. Our trophy cab- inet is now groaning beneath the weight of hitherto elusive cups and shields. That cursed jinx which has dogged North Toronto's Ath- letic aspirations has finally been broken for- ever fwe hopeyl In the following brief resume of Athletic endeavours we have probably touched too lightly on the untiring and unselhsh efforts of our various coaches. They, who gain nothing but the satisfaction of seeing these boys fill positions in real life as capably as they did on the gridiron, deserve more credit than the hardest working player on the team. Cn be- half of the School, we take this opportunity to thank you and may your future be re- warded by a continuous line of Championships. SENIOR RUGBY PERSONNEL 1. HXVALLYU W1LKINsoN: the old pokerface himself. A more popular captain never donned a North Toronto uniform. Mr. Reynolds made no mistake when he said that Wally was the best snap-back in high school football. A tower of strength, both physically and spiritually, XVally played a stellar role in his last year of football. 2. Vic SXVINDENZ thalf-backl is heralded by newspapers as the greatest half-back in high school rugby during the 1933 sea- son. Starting his football career with Mr. Page's 15929 125 lb. Champs, Vic has im- proved steadily under the coaching of Messrs. Page, Bryce, and Reynolds. Pop- ular with fans and players both, this com- ing star will be seen with Balmy Beach or Argo Juniors next year. 3. Conn lXIACDoNALD: Chalf-backj this veteran has played every season since 1930 but in his last year he has certainly dis- played his best brand of football. Gord runs as he dances and that means gang- way! Not only does he excel at rugby, but is equally good at hockey and swimming. -1. J. 6 .- 4 V fl. 10. 5. Run Momiv: The most reckless player on the team. Red certainly did not spare himself and flattened opposing plungers with careless abandon. His canny knowl- edge of football earned him the pivot position on a championship team . MERRY MIQRRIFIELD: fhalf-backj This blond menace is the boy who can throw forward passes farther than others can izick. His long pass, coupled with Mac- donald's deadline punt, clinched North 'l'oronto's first Senior Championship. De- veloped under the tutelege of Mr, Page, KIerry's aerial attacks formed one of the chief offensive threats of the team. HGORD.H KIRBY: CFlying-wingi. This mighty mite of pep and light, XVhen holes are made, he makes 'em right. Gord does not confine all his energies to football, but also plays a stellar role of guard on the Sr. Basketball team. Gizokcsiz HQFFSIDEU PETRIE: Qlnsidel. George showed a surprisingly affectionate disposition, as he could often not wait for the whistle before he had the opposing quarter-back in a loving embrace. George will continue his amorous ways on next year's line. TED VVATT: flnsidej. Ted's peculiar style of plunging made him a consistent ground gainer, and his defensive tactics left nothing to be desired. He hopes to be out of the school next year, but there's many a slip . . . JEFF LvD1ATT: tlfiddlej. Jeff is cer- tainly not an unfamiliar figure on the gridiron. If scholarships were given for rugby, Jeff would certainly qualify for the honour, as he has the game down to a science. Incidentally, no school can boast of a better locker-room quartett than that composed of Jeff, Red, Vic, and Gord. HANK GLOYER: COutsidej. Hank should make a good Broadway Column- ist as he has the low down on all half-backs unfortunate enough to be tackled by him. His sure fingers and

li HOH'LER,1U3J Heetness made him about the best pass- receiver in the city. DARCY Howickz QOutsideH. Darce re- sembles a brown teddy-bear in winter and certainly is a bear for work in the fall pastime. His hard tackling and never- say-die spirit earned him a regular posi- tion on the ankle-clutching brigade. FAT ' TIETTITZ tMiddleh. Although Fat had to use a shoe-horn to get into his pants, it tended to keep his wits about him when on the held. His bruising plunges and heavy tackling left their mark on many an ambitious player. JIMMY HAz1i1.woon: CQuarterl. Like Arnup of Varsity, Jimmy made up for his lack of size by his intimate understanding of the game. Pinch hitting for Red at quarter he handled his team like ai veteran. BILL DoL'GAN: tHalf-backl. Bill is the boy with the Charlie Chaplin feet and how he eats up the ground when clad in either cleats or spikes. Dougy starred at half-back on the Sr. team and is also a hne sprinter on the track team. NYith the remaining members of this year's squad Bill will form the nucleus of next year's defenders. Bora TXTORROXVZ tLinemanh. Bob was the handy-man of this year's line. Any posi- tion was capably filled when he was in there. Bob was severely cut-up about his chinning with Rosy, JERRY DLYNSITOIQDI tGutside5. Oakwood's gift to North Toronto this year was Jerry, tackler par excellence, whose specialty was pulling down men twice his size. STAN MCCULLOUGH: tOutsidei. Macs slight build forced him to give up his snap position, which he played on last year's Juniors, to outside wing. This change was a great asset in rounding out our tackling brigade. HBEE GREY' VVALKER: fHalf-backl. An- other one of Mr. Page's proteges, Bee Gee's spirit and relief kicking were in- valuable to the team. ToM BRADY: CMiddle5. This elongated Irishman came to us, like Desmond, from Upper Canada College. His great height made him a hard man to pass on the line. O Stl ,fl in .yy 24. ti rs K Dx. Puffs lfiffy-Om' 'TIMMIIZ BINNIE: tFlying-wingj. Bashful Binnie's hot hosiery and ruddy rompers, canioutlaged a line tackler and conscien- tious player. XVill be heard from next year. lvANDALL hloHNsoN: tlnsidei. Ran rea- lized his fondest ambition in becoming a member of this year's squad. He is sure-fire for next year's team. CAEs,xR GLOCKLING: tllanagerl. This little manager not only looked after the interests of his team but in the role of trainer his soothing hands beat many a tattoo on twitching tendons. His wise- cracking relieved many a pre-game ten- sion. Is zat so lx.-XXYLY R,xwL1NsoN: thliddlel. Jack played that thankless position of middle and featured by his almost super-natural ability to cipher plays. In the hnal game Rawly did the defensive work of three men while our ranks were depleted by penalties. The blood-poisoning .lack had must have gone to his head as he has since left here for that cosmopolitan school, Central Tech. .TACK CIIRYSLICRI tHalf-backN Like the new Chrysler model, .lack is built for speed. His quick dashes around the end brought the crowd to their feet in every game. Jacks unfortunate injury in the Parkdale semi-Final game lost his excep- tional services to the team for the final. lX'oon BEDELL: flnsidei. Give a yell for XYood Bedell. Despite his weight his game was swell XYood's experience gained this year will make him a big factor on next year's line. SPENCER Rossi RoL'sE1-I.: tClutsidel. Rosy was the old cut-up of this year's squad and will testify to the fact that Morrow is a heady player. His speed in going down under kicks made him a valuable player. DIZL. XVHITTAKER: fHalf-backj. Del, Del, the ladies' man, Uh how they'd gasp when the ball he ran. The experience gained by him this year will aid in rounding out our next year's half-line.
