MARITI E I TERCOLLEGI TE CHAMPIONS The year I9-I9-50 though not as title-winning a year as was I9-I8-49, never- theless it was a successful season for haskethaff at St. I . X. This year's intercollegiate Ieague provided more competition than was ex- pected. Dalhousie University forced a pfay-off game in order that the St. If. X. men could estahlish superiority as the hest squad in Nova Scotia. This was done with two successive seventeen-point victories over the Daf team after they had defeated St. If. X. in the opener hy a one point margin in an overtime thriller. U. N. B. were next to faII hefore the powerfuf cage machine as St. I . X. puffed a surprise hy defeating decisively the men from Up the fiiII hv the score of 59-28. Then, it was U. N. B. who puffed a surprise hy defeating our X-men hy the score of 53--IJ. This was nowhere near the thirty-one point victory that our hoys had registered and, thus, the third successive IVIaritime Intercollegiate Basketball Title was hrought to St. It. X. Unfy two exhihition games were played in our Gym. The first was against the Infouse of David team and this was the first of our defeats this 5 ear. The second game was with Sydney Y which the X-men won in convincing, styfe. An internationaf fIavor was given to Xaverian Basfiethaff when the team toofc a Christmas tour covering points in New Brunswick and Iwaine. The Team played eight games of which they tied one, Iost one, and won the remaining six encounters. The defeat was at the hands of the CaIais Chiefs, who have since won the IVIaine Semi-professional Championship. In the final two games of this tour against Saint Iohn, the Ixffaritime Senior title was hrought to St. If. X. for its second successive year. rITf'1IS.VCElI',S victory was more decisive than Iast 1 St. F. X. won the series hy nineteen points. The team was entered in intermediate competition hut was forced to with- draw after it had dropped New Yvaterford in the lnitiaf series of the Nova Scotia pfayoffs. The team withdrew on the unanimous vote ofthe memhers heca use of the time it would require away from the Campus. Again, a great portion of the credit goes to Fr. Fogarty for his ability in moulding a championship team. We are fortunate in having such a great coach at St. F. Xi-the proot is in the championships and the men who win them. .. .:..- . .sirs2e:2e1+!'9?s1f21:e2aE,..:52a2 '1 fam .3 ,Bw a we l..g1t1 it , 1...1.. 1..: I 2 ..i I RONALD NUGENT REV. W. P.

VARSITY TRACK TEAM Track at St. Francis Xavier is well on its way to becoming a major sport. This was reachly apparent at the beginning ol the year when the largest number in history turnecl out lor early practise. As a tune up tor Intercollegiate competition, a tlual meet was held at Co- lumbus Fielcl with the Antigonish llighlancl Society, IVI:.iritime Senior Champions. This was a revival ot' olcl custom when there was an annual meet between town and college. X came through with a startling upset winning by a single point Q75-743. Highlights of the meet were the victories of Eugene Swartzack, in the one hunclrecl anal two-twenty yarcl clashes, anal Lorne Wyhalen, in the javelin competition. The main meet of the year was heltl in I7recIericton against U. N. B., Mount A., Acadia, ancl Dalhousie. St. If. X. nearly attainecl their first intercollegiate. championship with a Iate rally that fell short to-I-525. As it was, they fell to the clefending champions anml hosts for the occasion, U. N. B. This year's potent team showetl halance and strength in nearly every depart- ment. Uutstantling performances were turnecl in hy Iohn IVIorrison, who place second in incliviclu .I points in his lirst year oticompetition and hy the relay team the eight-eighty team coming within two seconds ol' the record. Varsity X's went to Iohn IVIorrison, Phillip Connolly, Iohn R. IVIacDonaItI, Pat Gallagher and Brian Collins. It is our hope ancl prediction that next year's team will bring to St. F. X0 her hrst Intercollegiate championship. 129
