Ju11e,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 91 SENIOR BOYS' BASKETBALL. CLOSE STRUGGLE Not in many years has Tech produced a more effective and hard- fighting team than the 1945-46 outfit. After a successful season, the boys lost in a close struggle with City Park. The first play-off game was Tech 18, City Park 19. However, in the second game City Park forged ahead to the tune of 26-15. In the regular season Tech won over Bedford Road three times and had the same number of victories over Nutana. They lost to City Park by one point and tied them on another occasion. The Techalogue has been furnished with a statement of high scores. Don Holtsman headed the list with sixty-seven points, fol- lowed by Pete McCartney and Bill Bulger with forty-seven and forty- five respectively. Mr. A. J. Edwards coached the boys throughout and had good reason to be proud of their play. Gil Strumm gave a hand in coaching as well. The team comprised B. Bulger, N. Greggain, T. Henderson, D. Holtsman, P. McCartney, W. Diduck, P. Naglowich, R. Kerr, H. Wright, M. Marushak. lil SUCCESSFUL SEASON FOR BOYS' INTERFORM BASKETBALL 3D WERE CITY CHAMPIONS Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, an enthusiastic group of boys gathered in the gymnasium for interform basketball. Mr. Mor- genroth and Mr. Moodie were in charge of the games. The schedule was a long one and the school play-offs results: first year ID. second year 2E, third year 3D, fourth year 4A. In the city play-offs Tech was successful in only one of the classes, 3D winning the third year championship. A team of fifth year All Stars defeated Nutana and Bedford by one-sided scores to attain the unofficial fifth year Collegiate Charripionship. The 3D team was composed of: Cambridge, Squires, Cleveland, Rayner, Walters, Cruickshank, Boughton and Cottrell, while the fifth year team in- cluded Berrington, Gold, Mallard, Wilks, Williams, McLaren, Grif- fiths and Jorgenson. -M-A-...i SCHOOL CURLING HAD A GOOD SEASON The winter of 1945-46 witnessed an active revival of curling. Fifty-six students took part, comprising four girls' rinks and ten boys' rinks. Games were played at the Granite rink and practice periods were held at the Nutana rink. The curling clubs of the city are sponsoring a High School bon- spiel which will be held open to rinks from all high schools in the province. The bonspiel will be held during the Christmas holidays, 1946. The inception of this provincial play-down should give greatly increased encouragement to high school curling, especially in the smaller towns.

90 THE TEOHALOGUE June,1946 RUGBY CROWN PASSES TO CITY PARK After riding high for two years as the holders of the Hardy Cup, the 1945 Tech Rugby team were in the battle to the last minute of play. The final game as usual was played at Griffith Stadium, and the score was 12-6 for City Park. After a somewhat disappointing first half, Tech took to the air successfully in the closing minutes of the game and seriously challenged the winners. More than usual injuries were suffered through the season, none of them serious, but taken as a whole, they proved a handicap to the team. Mr. A. J. Ed- wards was again head coach with the capable assistance of Mr. G. E. Sexsmith. The work of the voluntary cheerleaders was an outstand- ing feature at all of the games, especially the last one.

GIRLS' INTERFORM BASKETBALL HAD UNFINISHED SEASON Because of difficulties in securing the gymnasium for games near the end of the season, it was necessary to leave the play-offs with other schools uncompleted. The sports editor, however, reports that there was not a high degree of interest shown, as indicated by the considerable number of games allowed to go by default. As far as completed, the results were: first year lCA, second year 2C. Miss Lamont had charge throughout the winter.

92 THE TECHALOGUE JllI1U.19-15 The city high school rinks held an elimination contest about the middle of the winter. Several rinks from out of town were present by invitation: and the winning team proved to be the boys from Senlac. a village in the far western part of Saskatchewan. Later in winter. a second inter-collegiate bonspiel was held under the auspices of the Granite Club. Tech lost out in this series to City Park. Skips from this school were Lawrence Sothmann and Keith Freeman. Duane Turple skipped the Tech outfit in the first bonspiel. Great credit is due to Mr. H. K. Moir for his initiative in fostering the game and in arranging practice periods. Much inspiration was gained by the students trom the games witnessed in the Macdonald's Brier Dominion Play-downs held in Saskatoon early in March. fl. IUNIOR GIRLS WON BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP 4 .D JUNIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL Back Row: l. Munro. J. Kirton. D. Isbister. S. Stewart. H. Fairweather. Front Row: B. Wilson. E. Re-gush. Mr. Finlay. B. Pickard. A. Hnatyk. For the first time in a number of years. the four collegiate insti- tutes operated a junior basketball league. As a result of plenty of hard work. aided by thorough coaching by Cece Jorgenson and Mr. A. H. Finlay. the girls were able to fight through to a championship. More than that. they won every game. The Techalogue regrets that up to the present none has seen fit to donate a cup for junior girls' basketball.
