SENIOR HOCKEY Glr HIS year Vic added another trophy to her already famous silverware 111 collection, when the senior hockey team annexed the city champion¬ ship. It is the first time in many years that this coveted emblem has taken up its residence at Victoria, and Mr. Dobson, who coaches the team each year, asserts that it is here to stay. There was a splendid spirit of co¬ operation shown throughout the season, and with the able coaching of Mr. Dobson, Vic soon possessed a real team. The Vic team ended the regular schedule in second place, and opposed Garneau in a two game series for the championship, the total number of goals to decide the winner. The two final games were closely contested and a clean, snappy brand of hockey was offered by both teams. The first game, played in the Arena, resulted in a 1-0 victory for the Vic boys, the lone goal being scored by Cliff Willetts. In the second game, played at Varsity rink, a 1-1 tie resulted, thus giving Victoria the series by the score 2-1. Frank Warshawski scored Vic’s only goal in this game. Every player on the team played consistent hockey throughout the season. Gordon McClintock starred in goal, and the rest of the team lined up as follows: Defense: Frank Warshawski, Bob Bolander; Forwards: Joe Berg, Cliff Willetts, Robert Shearer; Substitutes: L. Rimstead, H. Love, N. Umbach, G. Forbes, W. Webber, L. MacKenzie.

26 Victoria High School SENIOR RUGBY !J[h n ARLY last fall, Vic, as usual, started training for her Senior Rugby 1 1 0 team with Mr. C. Richards as coach. Most of the boys were new at the game, and unlike last year’s team needed much training. In the first games our boys played well, taking everything until they met Garneau. Three games were played against this school whose wonder¬ fully organized team showed their superiority and won the champion¬ ship. The Vic lineup was: Quarter-back, F. Richard; Snap, J. Wolfe; Insides, D. Berry, J. Morton; Wings, F. Marr, E. Nepstad; Outsides, J. McCaig, P. Pullishy; Line halves, F. Warshawski, L. Rimstead. G. Forbes, H. Bevington; Substitutes, J. Folinsbee, W. Love, W. Semeniuk, R. Logie. JUNIOR RUGBY G I HE snappy junior rugby team of Victoria High ploughed through JIL the entire schedule without encountering a single defeat, and in the final tussle came out victorious, the score being 13-11, thus bringing home the emblem of the junior provincial rugby championship. Without a doubt, the high morale of the team was due to Mr. Scarborough’s coaching, to¬ gether with the aggressive spirit of the boys themselves. A summary of the final game, which was played at Renfrew Park, between Garneau and Victoria, will give an idea of how the battle was won. Vic went into the lead early in the first quarter when Bud Pritchard dashed fifteen yards for a well earned touchdown. Joe Berg converted. Later in the same period Vic drove Garneau within twenty-five yards of their own line and Joe Berg added another point for Vic when he kicked a field goal. Garneau soon decreased the wide margin by scoring a touchdown in the second quarter. The game remained scoreless from here on until the last ten minutes of play. Undoubtedly these last few moments were the tensest in the whole rugby season, holding the supporters of the two schools
