BROTHER D. L. PHILLIPS God Save the King VANCOUVER COLLEGE ORCHESTRA This year we have seen the or- chestra make good progress in spite of its being in the hands of several conductors. Mr. Allard de Ridder, our popular and distinguish- ed conductor of last year, having joined the noted Hart House Quar- tet, gave opening to a new conduc- tor. Mr. Tediese Kadzielawa, an experienced celloist of the Vancou- ver Symphony, took over the vacan- cy left by Mr. de Ridder. Mr. Kad- zielawa ' s patience and methods led the orchestra to its present popular- ity. Mr. Kadzielawa ' s recent call to active service necessitated getting a new conductor. Mr. E. Austin, a well known and experienced musi- cian and teacher, has very capably filled this vacancy. 26

O ' DEA VS. V. C. AT ATHLETIC PARK INTRODUCING . . . Mr. Greg Kabat: American foot- ball coach and teacher of Social Studies in Grades Ten and Eleven. All - American from University of Wisconsin, he held the world ' s record for the discus and has won cham- pionships in high jump, decathlon, swimming and golf. The Coach Although our football team was not caught in the draft our coach, Joe Budnick, was. The result — no disgustful episodes at half-time and a Sergeant York — perhaps — for the anti-aircraft division some- where on the Pacific Coast. The vacancy was ably filled by that All- American from Wisconsin, Greg Kabat. In Winnipeg at St. Paul ' s College, his teams won so many championships that the other school coaches breathed a sigh of relief when Greg moved to Vancouver. In short, hard practices, he lost no time in rounding into shape whatever material was available in the school. His aim was victory and he lost no time in impressing this on the squad for he worked them like a slave- driver. They were up against tough teams in a tough game and they had to be tough to take it. The result of the training was that there were very few accidents and the boys played their best. The following excerpt from Stu Keate ' s Sport Shots in the Daily Province, tells its own story: You have only to attend one of their workouts to know why their team is a success. They work like tigers. Greg Kabat is constantly aboard them, lashing them with his sharp tongue, exhorting them to greater efforts. . . . We were impressed by the zeal with which they were pre- paring for the Annual O ' Dea classic. This is their battle for the Holy Grail, make no mistake about it. . . . The Team In two short seasons our Canadian football material has been drilled in- 28
