i8 By VALDY SPAKOWSKI SENIOR BASKETBALL This year, the war-time schedule in Basketball was discarded and the league returned to the old Hast and West Divisions. Walkerville was chosen to represent the East along with Patterson, Riverside and W. I). Lowe Vocational—all tough teams to beat. The other division comprised Assumption, Kennedy, Sandwich and St. Jo¬ seph. thus making a total of eight teams in each of the W.S.S.A. Senior and Junior Boys ' Leagues. Each school was to play two games with teams in its respective divi¬ sion and one game against the four teams in the other. Ably coached by Mr. Ian Allison, the 47- 48 cage squad was more than slightly handicapped by having only one player over six feet tail. Yet it must be remembered that the boys were in there trying and a threat on the flooi at all times. The initial quintet was: LEO POSTOYTT (guard)—Leo was the captain of the squad and was a great team player all the way. scoring 28 points for the year. What he lacked in baskets scored, he made up in spirit and proved to be the back¬ bone of the team. ALEX BONDAR (guard)—Al and Leo combined together to make the team defensive combination that it was. Al, who earned a total of 59 points during the season, could always be counted on for a good floor show every time. RUCK TUSTANOSKY (6 ' 2 center)—Buck’s height was an asset to the team, enabling him to snag those vital rebounds as well as block shots at the basket from close- in. He had a good season with 22 points. MIKE KOZMA (forward)—Mike was the high scorer for the team, dropping in baskets with that deadly push- shot of his, for a total of 76 points. His return this year certainly helped out for the squad. ANDY INCHOWICH (forward)—With his own spectacular shots that accounted for 70 points, Andy was another high scorer on the team and should bolster the ’49 quintet. I he remainder of the team was composed of I ony Techko, an all-around player: Rill Baker who alternated with Buck at center; John Sagovac. a stalwart guard: Harry Patterson, at forward position: Ed Skarbek, an expert on long shots, at guard; Freddy Clark at guard; and Don McNaughton at forward. SOCCER In spite of many difficulties, the team’s coach Mr. . Young, (he of the pessimistic speech and optimistic mind), set out to build up the team to the role of con¬ tender for championship honours. Mr. Young worked for long hours arranging lines, perfecting shots and co-ordi¬ nating players. The results were neither amazing nor disheartening. The team finished in second place. It played eight games—it won four games, lost three and tied one. Such a record, however, does not show the effort and fight put into the game by the Tartans”. The team’s biggest thrill came in the second last game of the season against Riverside. Going into the last quar¬ ter, the foreigners from the extreme east of Windsor were winning 1-0. The coach as a last resort put in a rookie, Ed Woods, as centre. To the delight of the team Ed displayed fine talents by ticing up the game with a long drive. He left them limp when he got away a beautiful shot from close-in to sew up the game. In the records of goals scored, however, one does not see the names of the other stars of the team. Andy Inch- owich played a marvellous game as fullback. Steve Vor- kapicli, a first-year man. played a steady game, alternating between halfback and forward. And who can ever forget the superlative play of the team captain, Ed Skarbek. Ed’s value was best described by Mr. Young at the Sports Assembly when be spoke of him as the best centre half in western Ontario—probably in all Ontario”. HOUSE LEAGUE RUGBY CHAMPIONS B.
