NIcCAR'I'EN tsecond rowy - Much of the quality possession obtained by the pack was the result of his strength in the mauls and his skill in supporting the juniper at the line out. His whole-hearted commitment to the game pro- vided a constant source ofinspiration to his team. DI C.-XSTRI tsecond rowj - A finejurnper and catcher of the ball, he made good use of his basketball techniques at the line out. His scrummaging and loose plav improved rapidly during the latter part ofthe season. HIGGINS tflankerl - A fast, mobile and constructive forward, at his best in at- tack. His speed around the field allowed him to provide vital support for the backs. BLWIQLER tflankerl - A strong marauding flanker who revelled in the close forward exchanges. His fierce tackling often regained possession of the ball lost at the set pieces. DKNBAR tNo. 83 - Although his height prevented him from making the necessary impact in the loose, it did, however, allow him to control the back of the line out. He was capable of creating attacking situations with the com- bination of his lengthy stride and flamboyant distribution. SUBSTITUTES LA L' - A hard-working forward in the set, he lacked the experience and tech- nique to become sufficiently involved in the loose. COSTELLO - A ubiquitous performer whose ability to substitute in a variety of positions often proved invaluable. M.W. Y ii , Q It ta 4' 4-f r si . Q'Z'4n.,.x..35' vu 6 Q 26

SENIOR COLTS Played: 22: Won: IQ: Drawn: lg Lost: 2: Points For: -123: Against: 70 The season 1973-74 can only be described as highly successful both on and off the field for the Senior Colts. In independent school games, home and away. victories were gained over St. Ceorge's, Brentwood, and Clenlyon. The away game against Shawnigan was lost, but was partially avenged by a 0-O draw in the return game. In the pre-Christmas Vancouver Islandjunior Champion- ship the school under-17 team, composed mainly of Senior Colts, lost a very close final to Shawnigan 6-0. After Christmas, the team was entered in the Victoria junior High Schools League, and after playing its schedule of seven games, was undefeated in com- petition with Shoreline, Arbutus, Lansdowne, Central, Colquitz, Highrockvlr. High and the S.M.U. B team. However in the play-offs which followed, hav- ing beaten Colquitzjunior High in the semi-final, the team was unlucky to lose 4-3 under the lights of Royal Athletic Park in the final against Highrockjunior High. This game. played in a great spirit and with tremendous enthusiasm, was a credit to both teams. At the end of a season in which teamwork was the essence of the success, to name star players would be invidious. However, individual events, characteris- tics and characters come quickly to mind: Ransford's game-saving tackle against Shawnigan in the return game: Brownings Bones: Kenty's drop-kick conversion from the touchline against Brentwood: Kirk's climbing tackles: Shiplevs ankles and knees: Wasylenko's interception against Highrock: jawl's and Hosie's dedication IOIl'Z1ll'lllIg1 Peers's pugilism: Dunn's time outjumping with feet never leaving terra firma: Fiji : jawl's touchline conversion against fltllqlllll on his birthday. The final event of the season took place in earlyjune at the Chinese Village Restaurant when the first fand I hope the lastl giving ofthe much-sought-after NBARFLY A WARDSM was carried out. Centlcmen - thank you. MJ. 28
