Tech. vs. Daniel Mac. In the opening game of the season, played on the smallest possible bit of playing field and before the greatest crowd in the history of high-school rugbv. Tech went down before a fast Daniel Mac team. The boys from the West End rapped in 10 points in the first half before an amazed Tech team. In the third quarter, St. Johns, tak¬ ing the ball on their own 5-yard line, marched 94 yards down the field on 7 con¬ secutive first downs, only to be halted on the Daniel one-yard line. Rollo excelled for the Brown and Orange. Tech vs. Gordon Bell Coming through with their second vic¬ tory Tech soundly trounced Gordon Bell 26-6. Waite, sparking the team, rolled over for two touchdowns, both set up by him¬ self, while B. Hill and Kluner both went over on our tricky quarterback sneak. The line of Hill, Minuk, Smith, Waite and Zi- pursky was outstanding in turning back the Panthers. Tech vs. Daniel Mac “Ah, revenge is sweet.” The Tigers solid¬ ly trounced the Maroons by a score of 12-0. Working in a new system, Mogul’s boys held Daniel to but one first down. Kluner rolled over for both touchdowns on his now famous quarterback sneak. All credit must be taken by the line, for it was they who stopped the Maroons. Tech vs. Isaac Newton Slashing over for 24 points, St. Johns took their first victory by downing Isaac Newton 24-6. The scoring was opened by St. John’s in the first period, with Hickaway racing over for a touchdown. Then fol¬ lowed two quick touchdowns in the second quarter by Kluner and Lawrence Thomp¬ son. The last touchdown was set up in the fourth quarter by a Rollo to Hill pass from kick formation. Hickaway was outstand¬ ing for the Tigers. Tech vs. Isaac Newton Piling up 20 poins in the first half Tech trounced Isaac Newton 20-5, thus taking the city championship. This game was the dirtiest and worst played of the season. The scoring was as follows: A kick to the deadline in the first period, and in the sec¬ ond period three touchdowns, B. Hill, Wol- chuk, N. Hill and a field goal by Norm Hill. Where’s

Tech vs. Kelvin After turning back Kelvin 22-0, in a pro¬ tested game, St. John’s came back to defeat Kelvin 10-0. The first touchdown was scored after Thompson had received a long pass on the 5-yard, Kluner making the score. Is the second period Tech made a valiant goal-line stand on its one-yard line, after the Katies had moved steadily down the field. Waits scored the final touchdown in the fourth quarter. Smith, Minuk and Zipursky were the boys who stopped Kelvin. In Memoriam (St. Paul vs. Tech) Once, on a bleak cold day on the 29th day of the eleventh month in the year 1945 A.D., there came to pass a death, to a cer¬ tain rugby team (?). We dare not mention the name of this team which was weighed down by a score of 21-3. Every last man tried and fought in this mortal strife, and finally a certain man, N. Hill by name, brought to his team its one score. And so the chapter of this team closes as its life ebbs out slowly and gracefully. PenAa+tal Pucjhy ‘W ' Ute-ldpA, NORMAN HILL—Our jovial right end and cap¬ tain is our choice for the all-star team. Norm plays fine football, especially in his dynamic blocking and glue-fingered pass catching. Our poetry-writing school president is no slouch on the basketball court or on the ice, (and even takes a crack at playing tailback). All in all he is a swell guy. JOE MESHNIK—Joe is our first-string outside tackle, and an honorable mention on the all- star team. Although he didn’t score any touchdowns this year (one to his credit last year), he and Smith combined to form a pair of the strongest tackles in the league. Joe is a representative of Room 40 (need we say ' more?). LORNE WAITE—Lome held down the running- guard spot throughout the year until an ankle injury put him out of action for a while. In spite of this he played well enough to merit an honorable mention on the all-star team. Lome played fine football all along and was a fine guy to have around when the going got tough. SAM MINUK—“One of The Illustrious Four.” Sam’s defensive and offensive playing in the centre position gave him a berth on the all- star team. A gift from Isaac Newton, Sam distinguished himself in every game, with his effective line-backing and occasional broken- field running of intercepted passes. “Screw¬ ball Sam” came into his own with the “over- unbalanced line with the pass to the snap”! ALVIN ZIPURSKY — A1 “Weak-Side-Guard” Zipursky was one of the main reasons why the opposition’s running attack was never successful. He received honorable mention on the all-star team.. “Zip” was the youngest member of the team and was one of the hardest fighters. We hope to have him back again next year to strengthen the “weak” side.” STAN SMITH—In our estimation Stan is the finest all-round lineman in the league, and it was for this reason that he was picked, for the second year, as all-star tackle. His hard¬ hitting tackles and blocks make him a terror to opponents. Stan is also an excellent basket¬ ball player and an equally excellent fellow. LAWRENCE THOMPSON—The younger half of the Thompson brothers, Lawrence held down the left-end position on the team and was the only Grade X-er on the first team. Lawrence played an excellent brand of foot¬ ball, especially near the end of the season when he privileged the crowds with some lovely tackles. Lawrence will be back next year to flank another Tech team. TONY HICKAWAY—Tony is another member of the all-star team, earning his position by sparkling exhibitions of running, catching and blocking in the flanker position. “Mercury” Hickaway was constantly running by amazed opponents for touchdowns. We expect Tony back to strengthen our team next year. NORM STANGER—Norm is our right half and another strong cog in the team. “Squeeze” played hard fighting rugby and was always in there pitching. Norm does not confine his activities to rugby, but is also an excellent lacrosse player and an active curler. All in all a swell guy. BRUCE HILI The “Little Hill” of the rugby playing Hills was the m,aster mind of the team, playing the quarter-back spot and alternately switching to tail-back to do some nice passing. Blond “Buzz” is also an excellent basketball and hockey player and Vice-President of the school. Bruce is a very good rugby player and even better fellow. DOUG ROLLO—Our all-star fullback, was West Kildonan ' s present to Tech. A latecomer to Tech, Doug impressed the team by his mag¬ nificent plunging. It was also the extraordi¬ nary kicking of Rollo that helped us out in many a tight spot, and his unbeatable spirit which kept him playing when his sweater was ripped off, kept the team moving. Well done, Doug, and we’ll be seeing you next year. GEORGE WAITE—George, playing this year in the tailback spot, astounded everybody by his sparkling exhibitions. George, the host of many “parties,” acquired an honorable mention on the all-star team, because of his running and passing. Strange to say, after the season was over, he got “tired” of school and joined the Navy. “Good luck, George, it was swell playing on the same team with you.” JACK CHMELNITSKY—Jack, a transplanted snap, showed up very well on right end. Al¬ though he didn’t get on the field very often (due to the quality of the regular ends), when he did, he displayed excellent qualities of charging, blocking, and catching. This is Jack’s last year (he hopes), and we were glad to have him. Page Fifty-six
