FOOTBALL Patterson Collegiate vs. St. Thomas Collegiate On November lo. the Patterson Panthers met St. Thomas High School in a sudden-death game for the W.O.S.S.A. championship ami emerged victorious. The game took place at Athletic Park in St. Thomas. With the starting of the game both teams forgot the cloudy sky and somewhat muddy field and buckled down for the tough grind ahead. After only three minutes of play. Jack Atchison, alert h llhack for the Panthers, re¬ covered a fumble on the St. Thomas 15 yard line. Then on the second down George Fritzgerald barrelled through the enemy lines for a touchdown. Tom Tomolillo converted and Patterson took the lead h-0. St. Thomas worked down the field until Bill Auttcrson intercepted a pa to remove any threat of a score. In the second canto, both teams held their own. Then at the closing of the period. Jack Atchison placed a fifty-five yard boot in the St. Thomas end zone for a score. In the second half the pig skin sec-sawed hack and forth between the two teams. It started to rain at thi time and the weather turned colder. There was no score in this period. As the fourth quarter got under way. Harry Foster of St. Thomas kicked a neat field goal from an angle at the 15 yard line. Two fumble recovered by the Panthers took them down the field and fifteen yards out George Fritz- gerald again barrelled through for a major score. Harry Kaloogian converted tor the one point. Ken Stewart inter¬ cepted a pass at the closing of the quarter and (lord Pater¬ son kicked into the end zone for a score. The game ended with the Panthers on top 14 to 3. Boh Farley. Hal Hill, Ian McKellar shone for St. Thomas hut to name the star for Patterson the whole team would have been mentioned. We must not forget to pay tribute to coach AI Newman, and to all those associated with the team. “CHAMPIONSHIP GAME” One Friday night la t fall before 2.5(H) tan- the Patterson Panthers staged one of the most sensational finishes of the season to capture the coveted W.S.S. V senior grid crown. Down 11-0 at quarter time and 12-(» at halt time, tilings looked pretty dull for the boys from the Mid-town Collegi¬ ate. During half-time something seemed to happen to the good old Maroon and White and they came hack fighting as if possessed. While holding the Assumption team with¬ out a sin ' le point for the remainder of the game. Patterson went to work to pick up two well earned touchdowns and the Championship. The game was a wide-open affair with Patterson taking advantage of one of the many breaks to win. Both clubs played a wild game and there were many fumbles on both sides. The kicking, passing and plunging were spectacular and there wasn’t a dull moment any time in the game. The winning touchdown was scored by Ken Stewart on a fumble by an Assumption back. Playing an exceptional game along with Stewart were Jack Atchison, Willie Cas¬ anova and Harry Kaloogian. Every member of the team played with all his heart and the game was won by great teamwork, determination and superb coaching on the part of Mr. Newman. SUMMARY Although the football season did not end in a complete success, it was far from being a failure. We may have been defeated in the W.O.S.S.A. final game, hut who should complain when we won the City Championship? Many a spectator commended the team on its fine fighting spirit. Individual recognition was given to Jack Atchison and to Harry Kaloogian by way of positions on the All-City team. As for the latter, it was his second consecutive year on this ail-star team. Fred Mcisner. captain of our team, missed a berth on this All-City team hv two votes hut received an honourable mention. Others who received honourable mention were Bill Auttcrson. Doug. Wigle, Tom Tomolillo. and George (The Truck) Fitzgerald. All the other mem¬ bers of the first team received a mention on the team. This is one year that not one of the fellows on the senior football team will ever forget. For. although hampered by injuries from the start of the season, the determination which Mr. Newman inspired in them was rewarded with a winning team. The Cheerleaders Leonard Raixln, Betty Lancha, Bob Young Dick Douglas. Sylvia Mosley. SOCCER PLAY-OFF In a sudden death game to decide the soccer champion¬ ship of the Secondary Schools, the Walkerville Tartans eked out a 1-0 win over the Patterson Panthers. The first halt featured very hard play, for it was not until early in the second quarter that Pollard scored the only goal of tile game, on a break-away. By the end of the half, the game had developed into a defensive struggle. In the second half the effects of yesterday ' game with Kennedy began to have a telling effect on the Panther punters. Play see-sawed hack and forth with Walkerville throwing up a tight defence. Early in the third quarter, four Pattersonites were in on goal hut Dame Fortune turned tier head and the hall sailed harmlessly over the goal post. This was typical of the bad breaks which befell the team throughout the game. Gregg and Lenartowicz stood out for Patterson in a los¬ ing cause. The game was marked by the year’s largest attendance for a soccer game. SOCCER This year’s soccer team again fought their way to the playoffs only to be eliminated by alkervillc. The team played much better than their record of five victories and four defeats would indicate. The squad was well balanced and placed several members on the all-star team which played exhibition games with Detroit elevens. This year’ leading scorer was Ron Henderson followed by Gregg and Stefan. The regulars were comprised of Davis in goal, Gregg and Nanos on defence. Orr. Kaloogian and Braithwaite as half-backs and De Marco. Lenartowicz. Greenwood, Stefan and Henderson on the forward line. Capable alternates included: Xarzour. Laughrcn. Marcos. Fryday. Katzman. Morrow. MacKew and Thompson. With many of this year’s team returning, next year should prove to be another victorious one for the Panther eleven. Mr. Gregg This year marks Mr. Gregg’s la t year a coach of the Patterson soccer team. During the four years that he and Mr. Pentland have handled the team, they have always placed a team in the championship finals. In 1943. Mr. Gregg’s iir t year a Patterson coach. was rewarded by the championship of the Windsor Secondary Schools. ' The next year his team lost to Tech in the final round, the team that Patterson had beaten the previous year. Walkerville has won the last two vears from Patterson. Mr. Gregg’s fine coaching is bound to be missed next season, but, for the four previous years in which be gen¬ erously donated time and effort, a grateful PaUeis«ui ' indent body says, “Thank you.” from the bottom of its heart.

GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL The interest tor volleyball this year found a new outlet in the scheduled “Play Days. Each school was divided into two groups. Group 9-10 and Groups 11-12-14. One week the junior classes would play and the next week the senior group congregated at Kennedy with about eleven repre¬ sentatives front each school. The players were all mixed together and on each team there was a certain number of girl representing each school. This type of recreation tended to create a better feeling of sportsmanship and gave the leaders, chosen to organize these ‘ ' Play Days, a deeper sense of responsibility. GIRLS’ INTERFORM BASKETBALL Interform basketball this year was a success with twenty- two classes participating. The referees for these games were girls from the Senior Girls’ Basketball team and the scorers and timers were girls chosen from their own classes. There were nearly two hundred girls taking part in this interform sport. The 11A girls’ team made a very good showing, never tasting defeat and coming through to win the pins. They attacked with Beth Cullen and Lena Antonello keeping the score rising. Margaret Whited, their trickiest guard, was the captain. Molly Pierce and Barbara Douglas also shone forth on defence. I nterfonn basketball helps promote co-operation and good sportsmanship which leads to good citizenship. GIRLS’ SWIMMING TEAM Miss Gregory has recently organized amongst the Patter¬ son (.iris a swimming team that certainly looks tops. Dur¬ ing this eventful year of ’46-’47 the girls and boys ' basketball and boys’ rugby teams have scored winning victories. It is hoped that the boys’ and girls’ swimming team will come up to par with them bv winning the Championship. With tin fine and ardent coaching of Miss Gregory, they art bound to reach their goal with such Juniors as Betty Rowland. Gladys Whitty. Peggy White, Thelma Phillips; and such Seniors as Jean Rowland, Barb. Douglas. Marg. Robertson. Vivien Mitchell and Shirley Rosenberg. Other prominent members of the team are Beth Cullen. Catherine Vaughan. Jeanne Clark. Barb. Ouellette. Sylvia Mostly. Shirley Green. Krmadel Finch, Donna Barnhart. Sally Nixon, Violet Turle. Mary Ward. Gertrude, Cross and Suzanne Kennedy. BADMINTON CLUB Anyone chancing to glance into the gym on Friday nights would have noticed the energetic and interested members of the senior Badminton Club industriously batting little white shuttlecocks back ami forth. The club had a very good season under the expert direction of Mr. Mills ' File committee in charge was headed by Fthel Hodges and Bob Bunker. Among other .chicvements was the purchase of four new racquets i ie sea . •» ended with a successful tournament in Ladi Doubles, .den’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. Page Twenty
