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.

SENIOR BOYS’ BASKETBALL Mr. Allison, D. McNaughton, B. Baker, H. Patterson, R. Brady. F. Clarke, M. Kozma, A. Bondar, J. Klmmerly, L. Postovit, A. Inchovuck, E. Skarbek. BOYS’ TENNIS East fall several tennis enthusiasts gained much plea¬ sure in Windsor’s annual tennis tournament held at Jackson I’ark. Of course Walkcrville C. I. took full honours. Our tennis expert, Stuart Musgrave, easily won the singles and then he and Fred Clark took the doubles ' championship. Stuart and Fred later went to London to compete in the W.O.S.S.A. doubles. After winning one match they were unfortunately defeated in their final set. cither members of Walkerville ' s tennis team, such as Hugh Morris, John Douglas, Boh Hoshal and Alex Adsett showed themselves to be well on the way to becoming champs. We hope that Walkcrville will uphold its fine tennis standard and that next year even more fellows will realize what a wonderful game tennis can be. BOYS’ SWIMMING After many years of fruitless attempts, the Walkcr¬ ville boys ' swimming team, by edging out Kennedy 41 ' • to 41, finally succeeded in paddling its way to the title. Much of the credit for shaping up a winning entry goes to the two trainers. Mr. Waddell and Mr. N’ighswander. Jack Douglas, winning eight points, tied for the senior boys ' championship. He won the 40 yard hack stroke and placed second in the 100 yard free style. Don Sargent, with a second in diving; Boh Lelito with a third in the 40 yard free style; John Balkan, earning a third in the 200 yard free style; and David Enkin, with a first in the 100 yard breast stroke; were the Senior individual winners. In the Junior hoys ' entries. Bill Douglas, with a third in the 40 yard and a first in the 100 yard free style was the top performer, with seven points.
