It I. 1‘ K A X I) U HI T E 194 7 fo HOUSE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. HOCKEY HOUSE LEAGUE CHAMPIONS. JR. BASKETBALL, 10F HOCKEY I ' or the first time in six years, a W.C.I. hockey team did not win either a W ' .S.S.A. or W.O.S.S.A. cliampionshi|i. Although the team was composed mainly of those players who were on last year ' s W.O.S.S.A. team, they had a hard time getting started this year and the loss of two such high- scoring players as Earl Keyes and Harry Mar- chand to the Spitfires left a big hole in the team. During the first half of their S-game schedule, the team won one game and tied one. In the second half they played a much better brand of hockey. Although they lost the opener 5-4 to Vocational, the team rallied in the last period to score 4 goals and come within an ace of up¬ setting the league leaders. The next game against Kennedy saw the most exciting finish of a school game that we have seen in a long time. With 5 minutes of play left in the last period and the score tied 2-2. Kennedy scored a goal that gave them a 5-2 lead and. so it seemed, the game. However. Mr. Klinck. in a do-or-die attempt at victory, replaced the goalie with another for¬ ward. This strategy paid off as Macl’hee tied the score and then, with 50 seconds of play left. -MeI!ride got the counter that gave Walkervillc the game. It was truly a remarkable finish and the fellows played inspired hockey for. with no goalie and with one man in the penalty box. they still managed to score two goals. In the next game against Assumption. Clarke and Cipparoni counted two quick goals in the first five minutes and Walkervillc was never headed. A third period goal by McBride gave the Tartans a 5-1 win. In the last game of the regular schedule, Pat¬ terson held Walkervillc to a 2-2 tie with Cip¬ paroni getting both of Walkcrville ' s goals. This ended the season for Walkerville because a win was required in order to gain the last play-off position. With nearly all the players of this year ' s squad returning next year. Walkerville should have a winning team. Members of this year’s team were, Sale in goal. Bob Allison. Lynn. Arbucklc, and Cipparoni on defence: Livingston. Switzer. Clarke. Macl’hee. Don Allison. McBride. Fred Cooper. Musgrave. Gilmore. Matecuik. Spakowsky. Ken Cooper and II. Farrow. Our Boys ' Athletic representative in charge of hockey. George Chin, assisted with c team and acted as a linesman at all the W.S.S.A. games. Mr. Bull (telling a story): Bill and Bob crept noiselessly into the old haunted house when all of a sudden the clock struck one. Bill Gibbs— Which one did it strike?” Ruth rode on my cycle car, Directly back of me. I struck a bump at fifty-five And rode on ruthlessly. Three fifth formers discussing a prett mem¬ ber of the class— She calls me ' (jits ' .” “She calls me ' Ronnie ' . She calls me when she’s lonesome. Patro nize O u r A d v e r t i s e r s

4 BLUE AND WHITE 1947 BOYS TENNIS TEAM JUNIOR BOYS’ CITY TENNIS Lust year, for tlu- first time officially. Wind sor ' s secondary schools had a tennis rivalry created, under the auspices of the Jackson I ' ark Tennis Association. With their assistance and the use of their courts in Jackson I’ark each school presented a tennis team. However, it may he added, that the tournament was open to any hoy of 18 and under, whether he was going to school or not. thus acclaiming it a city-wide tour¬ nament. Walkerville hoys took full honours in lutth singles and doubles. Stuart Musgrave won the singles champion¬ ship after many games of keen and closely con¬ tested play. Then Musgrave doubled up with | ' ' red Clarice and defeated Stuart Johnston and Alex Adsett after a very close match of. 8-6. 0-4. It may ' . noted that even the finalists besides the champs in the doubles were from Walkerville. There ' s no stopping Walkerville once they get on the march. Next summer the school hopes to send a tennis team to compete in the W.O.S.S.A. tennis meet held at London. More power to you boys. A is for Alex who writes you this poem, □ SENIOR BASKETBALL Although suffering from the loss from last year’s W.S.S.A. championship squad of such stars as Frank Marchand. Jack Newby and (ilenn Gilliland, the team did justice to its coach. Mr. Allison, and the school. The squad had tough luck against several strong teams in pre-season exhibitions, but they started the regular sechedtile with an upset oyer a supposedly superior Kennedy five. Then fol¬ lowed two hard fought games with the Raiders and the Panthers, which the quintet dropped. Pitted against Riverside, the Tartans rallied to keep in the race by defeating the continuation school hoys by score of 36-34. Having a 50 ' Jo average as they came in contact with the Spar¬ tans, the lighting five lost a thriller to the league leaders. At this point the fellows, with their backs to the wall, put forth a drive which swept St. Joe ' s and Tech from their path, and thus cap¬ tured the fourth play-off spot. Against the strong Sandwich squad in the semi-final. Walkerville lost out in a hard fought game which really showed the fighting stulT in our fellows. All the players on this year ' s squad worked hard, showing team play rather than individual¬ ism. Points scored were usually well distributed. Andy Inchowich a hard fighting forward up from the Juniors did very well this year, and is a promising star for next year. Mike Kozma another forward from the Jim iors, where he started with his sharp eye and one hand shot, came through to add a big lift to the squad. Unfortunately he will not be with us next year. Bill Meeke a forward and hold-over from last year ' s W .S.S.A. championship squad, played as usual, capturing rebounds for a number of points. Alex Bondar was an outstanding, tricky guard, helping the team along with bis steady play. He will be back next year. Leo Postovit back from last year ' s squad, di¬ rected the team on the Hour as Captain, lie also will be back next year. Buck Tustanosky our tallest player, was in there fighting and using his height to advantage. He will be back. Tony Techco up from last year ' s junior ' s, sprained his ankle in a pre-season practice, but returned later to add a helping hand and gain experience for next year. Mike Kozma, Leo Postovit and Alex Bondar were given all-city mention. With nearly all these seasoned players coming back, next year’s team promises to make a bright showing. □ JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM With only two players left from last year ' s squad. Mr. Young found it necessary to rebuild his team and concentrate on giving the green placer .the experience that will make a winning team next year. This dearth of exper ienced players and the concentration on players who will be eligible for the ' 47 season accounted for the team ' s finishing the season in fifth place with two wins and five losses. High point-get¬ ters for the Juniors were Chuck Yernes with 43 points. Ed. Schepannwsky with 30 points and Gil Robinson with 24 points. In line with this policy of giving players more experience, a Junior “B team was formed, com¬ posed of boys not quite good enough to make the Junior team but who will be Juniors again next year. In games against other collegiates and senior public school teams, the Bees won six games and lost two.
