STAN WATOWICH—A gift from Lord Selkirk, Stan played excellently on the tackle job. He charged like a “tiger,” and tackled in the same manner. Stan is a valuable man to have around, and is liked by everyone, except those half-backs from Dan Mac that Stan cut down so effectively. MURRAY TAPPER—Shifted from left to right guard, Murray always displayed his excellent rugby qualities throughout the season. His expert charging, which was a pleasure to see, was the downfall of many an enemy line. Murray played hard and clean (?) football whenever on the field, and towards the end of the season, took over the first-string spot. HARRY GILMAN—This was Harry’s third and last year in high-school rugiby and although he was injured at the beginning of last season, he played hard and clean rugby, whenever the chance was given to him. Had it not been for his weight we are certain he would have been all-star material. MEYER THOMPSON—This was Meyer’s last year on the rugby team, but it seems as if the Thompsons keep coming. Meyer’s kicking was an asset to our team throughout the year. The “collector” was one of the main reasons why all the players have jackets. BILL KLUNER—Bill, a transplanted snap, revo¬ lutionized the quarterback spot by his famous quarterback sneak. The “brains” of the team (although Mogul thought different) was con¬ tinually driving the “Tigers” forth into battle. Bill says he doesn’t give a “Kare” about girls, what about it, Bill? LEN WOLCHUCK—Len was, in our eyes, an excellent fullback, although he saw compara¬ tively little action (again due to the quality of the first-stringers).,Len was a hard player and conscientious teammate and was liked by one and all. BARRY SHTATLEMAN — The “head - coach, manager and trainer,” took it upon himself to be the third quarterback of the team. Barry was commonly seen crawling under oppo¬ nent’s cleats (a big boy, no doubt). Had it not been for Barry we sincerely doubt whether there would have been any life in the team whatsoever. TED WIERBICKI—A late-comer to the school, Ted found it quite hard to compete against the other half for a regular spot. He worked hard and all the team gives him credit for it. ALLAN CHAPNICK—“Patrick” was one of the smaller boys on the team, and took quite a beating in practices, whenever he got in them. He worked hard and took a deep interest in his studies (ah, such studies). LEON ARD GORDON—Leonard was one of the less experienced men on the team, but dis¬ played potentialities of line play which ought to allow him to rise to great heights next year. His drive and fortitude are also strong assets to his future on the rugby field. HAROLD GOLDSTEIN—Harold was slightly heavier than the average man on the team (weighing a mere 245 lbs.). Harold can be credited with not missing one practice. He will remember the second Isaac Newton game, as being the first time that he “got on.” Let’s hope it won’t be the last time. ELKIN ROSENHEICK—“Beak” played fine foot¬ ball throughout the year and astounded us many times by his excellent defensive display. He also exhibited the kind of drive and power which warrants him “to rise to greater heights.” JOE LERNER—The boy with the shoulders, Joe, exhibited speediness in blocking and tackling which ought to allow him to accom¬ plish great things in the coming season. “Frederick sang, while we sweated.” ROY MacMILLAN—Although handicapped by his lack of experience, Roy came from Lord Selkirk to play his first year of high-school rugby. Even though he saw very little action, we all know he tried and we give him credit for doing so. ANDY PROKOPCHUK—Andy also came to Tech from Lord Selkirk and was also handi¬ capped by his lack of experience. Playing the right-half spot he seemed to have a pet hatred of passes made to him. I wonder why, Andy? BORIS AMROMIN—Boris, being the lightest man on the team, found it very hard to cope with the regulars, but we could always find him working hard and doing his best, no mat¬ ter what came. This and his other fine quali¬ ties brand him as a man to look out for next year. ARCHIE SINCLAIR-—Playing flanker seems to be just what Archie isn’t suited for. Never¬ theless, he came out to practice continually and was always willing to work. ALLAN GEDDY—There has to be one on every team, but in this world there is only one Geddy. “Mogul’s chauffeur” took continual beatings at the hands of the first-stringers. We must, however, mention that his playing displayed in some diluted way the makings of a good man. HARVEY STOLLER—Harvey saw little action due to the quality of the first-stringers, but his blocking and tackling proved to the rest of the team that there was at least one man Mogul had overlooked. ROSS HENDERSON—Ross saw immediately upon joining the team that he would not be called upon for regular action. Ambitious to help the team, he grew a beard, doffed his stockings, and soon became so inured to the cold that he won the position of all-star bench- warmer. (Unofficially.) SAM SINGER—-Sam did not see much action this year, but we are sure he gained a lot of experience to bring back to us next year. He and Harold could usually be seen near the scrimmage, playing catch. Sam played hard and clean when he “got on,” and we expect quite a bit from him in the future. We wish to -thank Mr. Burrows for the fine job of managing the team. Mr. Silverberg our equipment manager, and Mr. Newfield our Business Manager. Thanks also to Mr. Reeve, Mr. Ross, and Mr. Hutchison. The team and myself wish to give the heartiest and deepest thanks to Lou Mogul who has finally brought the cup back to Tech for us. Lou took quite a bit from us but gave to us the experience and knowledge he had learned in his many years of rugby. Thanks again, Lou. Page Fifty-seven

INDIVIDUAL WINNERS Back Row —Angela Bishop. Nadia Baydack. Lillian Rose, Jean Olinyk, Eleanor Richilieu. Front Row —Marvin Lavitt, Sidney Kirson, Morley Nezon, Bob Burns. Dan Shapira, Leo Lankowski. So-y ' d. 9+idiuidual Staid. MARVIN LAVITT — “Tech’s Little Jumping Bean” picked off two firsts in the hop-step and broad jumps, and also second in the 220. His spectacular jumping should be a great aid next year too. SID KIRSON—Piling up seven points by virtue of two firsts and a third; Sid tied for top honors. He took first place in both hop-step- and jump and broad jump. MORLEY NEZON—Morley raced his way to a brilliant first in the 100 yard dash. He also had time to acquire a second in both hop- step and broad jump. BOB BURNS—“Speed” is this boy’s middle name. He ran over all other competitors in both the 100 and 220. LEO LANKOWSKI—The “big gun” of the field day this year was Leo Lankowski who led all others with eight points. He got firsts in the 220 and the broad jump and a second in the 100 yards. (jiil ' d. OndUUxUual Staid. Class “D” ELEANOR RICHILIEU—“Rush” who has been “D” class champion ball thrower for two years now also runs a mighty neat 75-yard dash. Class “B” JEAN OLINYK—With five points to her credit, she edged out Margaret McClellan and Doreen McGill, each accounting for 4 points to win a very closely contested “B” class champion¬ ship. Jean’s powerful driving finish and her far-reaching spring in the jump gave her the desired result. Class “C” LILLIAN ROSE—The Blonde Bomber of 1945 was equally effective in 1946. Last year Lil took the “B” sprint and high jump. This year she stepped up a class and with little trouble took the “C” sprint and high jump. Class “A” NADIA BAYDACK, ANGELA BISHOP—These two girls shared top honors in “A” class. Nadia, who jumps practically her own height (she’s very petite) placed in all events. Angela collected two firsts: the 75-yard dash and the high jump. Page Fifty-nine
