Moulton was as hard a hundred and sixty-five pounds of bones and pa ls as you will find anywhere. The insides were well filled with Solly Sigal and Dave Enkin. Old reli¬ able John Mac Laugh Ian and Jerry Brown were the pivot¬ ing middles. John was elected captain for ’-17 by the players and certainly displayed his leadership qualities to the fullest. At the end positions were Walter “I’ll catch the next pass for sure, coach! Ure and “Let George do It” Sale. In the backfield were Sam Cipparone, the triple threat man of the year, and Ross McBride—the gentleman that never gives tip. Supporting these two were Willy Maj- noric, a first year man. and Serge Yanclmk. Serge unfor¬ tunately was the lone surviving member of the fighting Irishmen of 40. Last, but not the least member of the team, was Alex Bondar. Along with these first stringers were rookies and lingering old timers who cheered the team on to victory from some warm spot on the bench. FOOTBALL With the new look of fifteen hundred dollars worth of equipment and a more experienced and determined squad, together with a new coach, it was small wonder that the ' 47 addition of Walkerville’s football twelve showed such a remarkable improvement over last year ' s team. By winning three and losing two of the games played during the regular season, the W.C.I. foot¬ ball team reached the playoffs, only to be defeated in the semi-finals hv the W.O.S.S.A. champions, Assumption High. Further proof of the team’s ability to win games was the fact that Walkcrville placed three players on the All-Citv team. Solly Sigal at inside, Ross McBride at halfback, and Sam Cipparone at flying-wing. Sam Cipparone was by far the best place-kickcr that ever played in a blue and white jersey and it was a thrill to watch Sam kick a field goal from the thirty or forty- yard line. However, most of the credit for the team ' s fine showing goes to the coach, Mr. Ian Allison, who, with a pat on the back here, and a --arcaslic remark there, kept alive the fighting spirit of the team. Long-remembered will be the drawn out dressing-room talks by the coach to the selected few. Mr. Allison had by no means an easy time of it. Bad as it looked in the beginning of the season, at least as far as the score was concerned, the team had a sizeable number from last year’s squad.
