--7 -K ri! N , RZ SPORT Q Xl A I 'I f gf e I X-jk X0 ji w eston started the season off on the right foot times on Weston's one-yard line. by defeating Vaughan Road 13-7. A pass from Arnie Robb to Wayne Hellmer accounted for one touchdown, while Des Hennessey's run provided the margin. Hans Kulker converted the latter of these. Good tackling by the defensive secondary and good punting by Jesse Weller were two of the most important features of the victory. Weston, while playing their second consecutive away game, held Rurmymede to a 6-6 tie with Kulker and Johnson playing well. In the home-coming game, Weston celebrated its centeniary by dousing York Memorial 14-6. Passes were the means by which Weston scored, with Ray Kerr catching a Wayne Hellrner pass for one major and Jesse Weller receiving one from Arnie Robb for the second. The latter play carried 50 yards. Hans Kulker converted both scores. Evans and M ittice were outstanding in a winning cause. Weston ended the regular season by winning over Forest Hill. Arnie Robb and Jim Kilpatrick starred for the victors in the contest which al- lowed the Ironmen to enter the group semi-finals. Weston then entered the semi-finals. On a wet, muddy field, they squashed Forest Hill's hopes by the score of 6-4. Ray Kerr scored the game's only touchdown on a pass. The high point of the game was when our seniors held the Falcons three Runnymede ended the Ironmen' s unbeaten streak, in the group finals, by trouncing them 40-0. Hell- mer, Ashbee, and Kerr all played well, but the star of the game was David Grundy who returned kicks sensationally all afternoon. This loss eliminated Weston from further competition. The first game saw the junior Ironmen lose 6-0 to Vaughan Road. The surprising factor was that the opposition was completely outplayed everywhere except on the scoreboard. Weeks, Mackenzie and Hall all played well in a losing cause. The second defeat came at the hands of the Run- nymede Redmen who won out 12-6. The boys played well but were too inexperienced for the junior Red- men. Currie Ward, Ron Kerr, and Jim Boyce were outstanding. George Harvey then visited Weston and managed to win 13-7 in a thriller. Gerald King scored Weston's major which was successfully converted. Allan, MJrgan, and Beasley, each tried hard in this game. Westonls lone victory came in the home -coming game when they whipped York Memorial to the tune of 22-1. Mackenzie, Osbourne, and Sedgewick all scored touchdowns with Osbourne's covering sixty- five yards. Osbourne and Morgan starred in the win.

HOCKEY The 1957-58 hockey season was one of the most successful in recent years for Weston. Neither junior nor senior teams lost a game and most of the victories were by wide margins. The teams started out well by walloping Runny- mede in both games 5-1 and 8-0. In the senior bout, Barry Johnson scored four of Weston's goals. Forest Hill then suffered a double defeat 5-0 and 6-1. Captain Tom Stevenson and Jonn Weeks played well for Weston in the junior game while Barry Ashbee and Brian Robbins starred in the following contest. The junior's next opponents were Vaughan Road which were downed 7-0. Craig Simpson, Jim Bull, and Jim Boyce all played exceptionally well while Jack Morgan was sensational in the nets. The seniors kept up the good work by defeating Bathurst Heights 4-2, thus having Phil McVittie in goal, next won over Earl Haig 7-2. Barry Ashbee and Jesse Weller showed their hockey prowess in this contest. Turning into the second half of the schedule, the two teams again handed Runnymede a double loss. Forest Hill then received another dual defeat and it looked as though Weston was invincible. However, Earl played almost tirelessly, 4-4. Jim Kilpatrick and Barry Johnson both scored two goals in this last game. During the last half of the season, Weston played without the very great contribution of centre Barry Mackenzie who was injured, while playing for the Weston Dukes. Basketball Unlike last year, 1957-58 was not any too suc- cessful for Weston on the basketball scene. Only the midgets, with every player a first-year man, made the T.D.I.A.A. western division playoffs. The seniors, who were coached by Mr. McLoughlin, won only four out of a possible ten games. Two of the losses were, however, by one point although twice the school suffered a triple defeat at the hands of Forest Hill. Ray Kerr and Des Hennessey, guardsg Wayne Hellmer and Mike Palmer, forwardsg Murray Oliver, centre, com- prised the senior team. The junior outfit, which had a good deal of talent, played surprisingly poorly. Members of the jtmiors were: Tom Beasley,J ack Morgan, Barry McDonald, Kent Sedgewick, Ron Kerr, Ray Smith, Don Richardson, Jim Bull, Frank Hall, Bill Allen and Tom Woolhouse. They won half of their games against York Memorial, Forest Hill, George Harvey, Runnymede, and Vaughan. The midgets, who were coached by Mr. McMillan, are all first-year cage players and can therefore be considered to be doing'well. Some of the best midgets this year are Craig Simpson, David Sanders, and John Tomlinson. Closing the season, the seniors lost a thrilling game 57-56, in which the league's leading scorer, Irv Simon of Vaughan Road, sank a field goal in the final min Ute' -Keith Dorricou. 54 Above are the members of the senior basketball team in action in an early - season exhibition against Hamilton Westdale.
