I BOYS ALL-STAR BASKETBALL (Continued) . Though the team did not bring hone any trophies, Mr. Dow deserves all the credit we can give him for his terrific coaching. Not counting the exhibition game, we won fifty percent of the games we played, so we may say it was a fairly successful season, Jim Dunsmoor 10-30 GRADE TEN BOYS ' INTERSCHOOL TOUCH FOOTBALL Last fall, when the houseleague touch football was over, Mr. Semkuley began training the grade ten boys who were interested in making the interschool teams. During the first week of tryouts Jack Truran and Ron Huck were chosen as team captains. Jack and his team played the first game against our one and only opposition, Queen Elizabeth. The game, which was played on Viscount Bennett soil, ended in a 0 - 0 tie. In the second game, which was also played at home , Ron Huck ' s team was de¬ feated 24 to 0. The final game was played at Queen Elizabeth. Viscount was repres¬ ented by a combination of the best of our two teams. The victors ' - was ours by a 2 to 0 score. A safety touch gave us the two points. Although the season was short, the bcy3 enjoyed the play while it lasted. It gave over two dozen Viscount Bennett boys a chance to get out and show how well they could play football, or at least have fun trying, Mr. Semkuley deserves a big applause for the time and effort he put in to coach these rugged teams. Jim Dunsmoor 10-30 BOYS’ INTERSCH00L ALL-S TAR STV-M4N TACKLE RUGBY Think back. Autumn 1936, You may remember seeing a dozen little white men doing unusual manoeuvres in Richmond Park. Though you may have doubted it, they were earthlings - Viscount Bennett ' s six-man tackle teams at practice. As for the Inter¬ school part of their title, the only other school they played was Queen. Elizabeth. There were two teams: junior and senio - ”. The junior team ranged from Joe Burrit up,while the senior team ranged from A1 Smith down. There was no middle point, as several players played on both teams. The junior tearnfe captain vras Greg Horton and Stan Black piloted the senior team. The first game was played at Broadview Field. Stan Black starred with three touchdowns and Dave Erskine made one to give the senior team a 24 to 12 victory. The junior team played the second game on the Grid Iron at Mewata. Greg Horton was the hero .of the game, making three touchdowns, two of which were runbacks from kickoffs, Tom McKenzie and Jack Truran each made a single touchdown. A single point was also made by McKenzie on a running convert from Truran. The other players on this ruff ' r : rugged team were Dave James, Wendell Nicholson, Ron Huck, Bill Winship, Jim Clark, Bob Grant, Dean Ross, Grahame Larke, Jim Kelly and Bob Carver. Jim Dunsmoor 10-30 TRACK AND FIELD : The Junior Hi i Trac k team under the Readership of Mr, Semkuley, Mr. Hodgert and Miss Carson, together with cheerleaders, band members and spectators, turned out in full force for the A Division Meet at Mewata on May 29th. There was plenty of action and excitement as the athletes gave all they had in an effort to win points. Special mention goes to Charles Tiegiand, who placed first in the 220 yard dash, setting a new record in that event. He also earned seconds in the high jump and shot put, plus an invitation to the Olympic Twilight Track Meet, Saturday, June 8th.
