96 THETECHALOGUE June,1946 FIELD DAY. MAY 23. TURNED OUT SUCCESSFULLY TILLIE EDER AND MIKE MARUSHAK CHAMPIONS Though the morning broke cold and gloomy with little promise of good sporting weather, the annual field day turned out quite pleasant. Individual championships fell to Tillie Eder of 3D, who scored 19 points and Mike Marushak of 4B, who ran up 30 points. Second places went to Emily Matheson 3B, who got 14 points, and Bill Fairweather 4A, 13 points. In the junior division Steve Fosty scored 30 points to win the championship, while Fred Wright amassed 22 points as runner-up. Unfortunately the records of former years have not been pre- served, at least as far as the boys' events are concerned. It is therefore impossible to make comparisons there. However, the Techalogue is assured that all track records will be carefully kept for the future. For girls' events, where corrlparative records are available, two new records were established this year. The old record of softball throw, 154 feet was beaten by Emily Matheson with a throw of 164 ft. 7 in. In the discus throw the same athlete raised the former mark from 69 ft. 2 in. to 75 ft. ll in. A noticeable feature of this year's field day was the very thorough organization which preceded it. Events were run off like clock work. Contributing largely to the success and good humor of the day, was Mr. E. A. Welch, whose announcements and comments on the loud speaker kept everyone posted and frequently amused. lt should be added that Mr. Tash was responsible for providing the equipment for these announcements. Refreshments were served throughout the day by Home Economics' Students under the direction of Miss Lamont. There was a keen demand for hot dogs, soft drinks and chocolate bars. Two features of the late afternoon which aroused great interest, were the much heralded bicycle challenge-race between Mr. Drinkle and Mr. Jackson. The antics of these otherwise serious instructors proved very diverting. It was the first time that the Techalogue has seen a really serious attempt at towing bicycles. There followed a three-legged race for teachers, which was won by that talented pair of ball players, Mr. A. J. Edwards and Mr. George Brent. According to the authorities in charge of the field day, honorable mention was gained in this race by Mr. Mair and Miss Scrimgeour. To the Intercollegiate Field Day at Griffiths Field, University of Saskatchewan, the following were sent as representatives of Tech: Seniors: Don Johnston ICQ Bill Fairweather 4Ag Bob Clark 4Bg Mike Marushak 4Bg Norman Greggain 4A. Juniors: Steve Fosty 1Cg Jim Cotts lCg Fred Wright 2Ag Ron Brack 2Ag Eddie Sebestyen 2B.

Ju1ze,1946 THETECHALOGUE 95 in there fighting and nearly pulled the game from the fire in their last inning. Mfany of the players were first year students and next year will give a good account of themselves. Hnatyk and Wilson will be heard of in fastball circles in Saskatoon before long. Merk in centre- field will be a tower of strength next year. Ann Borisenko, the cap- tain, and third baseman will be missing next year and her position will be hard to fill. Those who played were: Isbister, catcher, Wilson and Regust, pitchers, Eder, first base, Brooks, second base, Hnatyk, shortstop, Borisenko, third base, Konya, leftfieldg Merk, centrefieldg McGowan, rightfield, Holdner, Reidt, Pyra, Shewchuk, as utility players. The coaches were Mr. Welch and Miss Scrimgeour. .lf-M. SUCCESSFUL BASEBALL SEASON MARRED BY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HARDY ULRICH AND MIKE MARUSHAK INJURED IN OUTFIELD COLLISION After winning four games and losing two in the regular series and defeating Nutana in the semi-final, 8-7, Tech senior baseball team entered the finals against Bedford Road. The game was played at Cairns' Field, Friday, June 7 before an enthusiastic crowd. Going into the seventh, Tech were trailing by 7-2 as a result of some early-inning errors combined with more than a share of ill- luck. Johnston was on the mound, having replaced Atkinson who had taken over the centre garden. A high fly into short right-centre brought Mike Marushak charging in for the catch. But Ulrich at second swung backward in a wide arc hoping to get under the ball. The players collided at full speed and both dropped heavily to the ground. There was an apprehensive silence in the stands as coaches and players dashed out to give any aid possible. Mike revived suffi- ciently to walk to the dugout, whence he was taken to the City Hospital. Hardy was carried to an ambulance and was still uncon- scious some time after arrival there. If further news of the injured is available, the Techalogue will attempt to provide it before the presses roll. The game was called by mutual agreement with the inning un- finished. Messrs. W. E. Brown and J. R. MacKay umpired. The team, under the coaching of Mr. H. K. Moir and Mr. George Brent, consisted of J. Shirley and E, Oliphant, catchers, E. Atkinson and D. Johnston, pitchers, J. Adolph, first base, H. Ulrich, second base, D. Turple and W. Sachko, third base, T. Henderson, shortstop, M. Marushak, right field, P. Daniels, centrefield, W. Fairweather, left- field.
