Junior Rugby What a plucky Junior team coach Mr. Forman put into shape for Walker- ville C. I. last season. Most of the mat¬ erial that turned up for practice last Fall was green as summer grass, but constant practice and evcellent coaching soon made real rugby players out of the Junior lads. The Team Joe Martin. Joe is a fast man and filled excellently his position at end. This boy could not complete the season because of a broken collar bone. .Murray Binkley. Murray was another of Walkerville’s good ends. He fights hard and plays a serious game. Boh Harrison. At middle, Bob used his speed a n d weight to hold his regular position at middle. Defensively and of¬ fensively, Bob is a good player. Ron Payne. Ron has had a lot more ex¬ perience than a great many Juniors. This boy used his tw’o hundred pounds to great advantage at the position of middle. Tony Menard. Tony proved to be a very fast inside and always charged the op¬ posing line recklessly. Fred Hawkesworth. This boy applied his one hundred and ninety pounds at the position of inside and proved to be a great asset to the team. Dewart Lynn. Dewart played cntre. On defense he backed up the line perfectly. On offence Dewart was an accurate snap and a fearless linesman. Congratulat¬ ions, Dewart Lynn. Mars Gelinas. This great little sports¬ man played extremely well his position at quarterback. Gelinas specialized in low, clean tackles. Charlie Rowe. From the position of right half, Charlie smashed constantly through the line. Tom Vandelinder. Tom played exception¬ ally well at left half. This boy is a very (Continued on page 82) Page Sixty-seven

BLUE AND WHITE game at end. Vic joined the Royal Can¬ adian Air Force after the rugby season and I feel safe in saying the Air Force recruited a good man. We miss Vic on the campus but we are proud to know that he is in the service. Bruce Soper. Although Bruce hasn’t played much football he showed a very keen interest in the game this year and consequently shaped into a good end. Bruce isn’t a heavy boy but he is solid grit on the gridiron. You played an ex¬ cellent game, Bruce. Fred Kemp. Here is a boy who proved to be a pillar for the Walkerville team. Fred’s position was centre and need I inform you he played brilliantly. It is the snap-back that paces and peps up the club, and this perfect team-mate fulfilled his job with honours. Emerson Williams. “Emmy” was not the biggest fellow by far on the squad, but rugby quality is not always found in the brawny people. A sparkplug and a good man on the line, Emerson Williams was a constant threat for the opposing team. This boy has dropped out of our massive faculty and we miss him great¬ ly. He is diligently doing his share in this heavy but worthy job of war work. Peter Ferlick. Although Peter did not have much rugby under his belt before this last rugby season, he showed him¬ self to be probably the best centre that has ever put on the sacred blue and white. Peter was a stone wall on the defense and a very accurate snap on the offensive. It is little wonder that Pete wound up this season with a very im¬ portant post on the All-Star team. To this perfect team-mate and grand fell¬ ow ' I say, “Congratulations, Pete”. Jack Morris. Jack found himself on the line this year, the line that is never pub¬ licized by the newspapaers or admired by the rugb fans, the line that takes all the punishment and does all the work. This boy loves rugby and turned out faithfullv to fight his w r ay through the enemy line. To you lads the sense of shaking of the knees when you think of donning the pads to play rugby, I say, think of Jack Morris; he’s not a big fel- law, but he gets real enjoyment from the game. Sherwood Walsh. Here is, in popular op¬ inion, our star tackle. Sherwood never missed a possible tackle and when this boy tackles you, you stay tackled. Sher- w ' ood said scarcely seventeen words all year, but his heart was always fighting for the blue and w ' hite. You played a bang-up game Sherwood and made a model player on the line. Jim Bane. Jim proved to be a strong player and linesman this year. This boy greatly bettered the team, both on de¬ fense and offense, and added to the sur¬ plus of morale. Jim is any rugby coach’s idea of a perfect linesman. Doug St. Dennis. This is the boy that throws that rib-shaking bullet pass. Doug specialized in passing this year and threw that pigskin with record power and accuracy. You played your half¬ back position excellently Doug. —Your humble sports ed ' tor- Ronny Doidge.

A schedule was set for interclass “Juvenile Rugby” teams and the lower school lads pract¬ ised eagerly to perfect their respective teams. Coached by their teachers the boys tore into a schedule with great en¬ thusiasm. Winding up in first place with the honour of being Juvenile champions of the school were Mr. Hartford’s Ram¬ blers. Congratulations, Ramblers! We ■-PO N D’S-- Students’ Headquarters for Drugs, Toiletries, Prescriptions, Sodas, Candies, etc. “Get it at Pond’s Windsor’s Favorite Drug Stores.
