The Weyburn Collegiate Eagles, under the excellent guidance of Mr. D. Kot, once again enjoyed the sweet taste of victory after three unsuccessful seasons. Although there was no eight-man league in operation, several exhi¬ bition games were played in addition to the Provincial High School Playdowns which consisted of a two-game total point series with Assiniboia. The club was small and inexperienced, but made up for these handicaps with desire and determination. Throughout the season the Eagles displayed a fine entertaining brand of football. The season opened on October 3 with a road trip to Lebret. Both teams were fairly evenly matched but the WCI squad proved to be too tough as they rolled to a 22-7 victory. The first home game was played on October 6 with Assiniboia drubbing the Eagles 46-8. Play was extremely close until the second half when the Eagles tired badly and could not contain the Assiniboia squad. This was the first game in the provincial playdowns. The second game of the series was played in Assiniboia and was a repeat of the first contest as Assiniboia won going away by scoring 3 touchdowns in the last half. The most exciting game of the season was played at home against Notre Dame, traditional rivals of the Eagles. A good turnout of ardent Eagle supporters were on hand to take in the contest. In the Second half, trailing by two touchdowns, the Eagles took to the air in a desperate attempt to overtake their foes. The pass attack proved successful and when the dust cleared the Eagles emerged victorious, upsetting the Notre Dame team 15-14. In the return game, and what proved to be the final game of the season, Notre Dame avenged their previous loss by grinding out a 38-14 victory. The Eagles finished the season with two wins and three losses - an im¬ provement over the three previous seasons. Many of this year ' s regulars will be back again in the fall year and with the valuable experience gained this past season, the Eagles are anticipating even better things in ' 63.

The boys ' team was again coached by Mr. Archibald. On September 15, an invitational tournament was held out at Western Christian College. Girls ' and boys ' teams from W. C. C., Estevan Collegiate, and W. C. I. took part in the tournament. The W. C. I. boys lost only one game during the competition and emerged as tournament champions. The W. C. I. Invitational Volleyball Tournament was held on October 27 in the W. C. I. gym. The teams participating were W. C. I., Moose Jaw Tech., W. C. C., Riverview, Gravelbourg, Carnduff, and Fillmore. W. C. I. ' s first game was against Carnduff. Our boys were defeated in the hard-fought battle and Carnduff went on to win the tournament. | This loss put W. C. I. in the consolation which we won with two inspiring victories - first I over Fillmore, and then over Estevan. Next, the boys went to Moose Jaw where they competed in another tournament at Moose Jaw Central Collegiate. Here the boys went down to two bitter defeats. Carnduff beat I them in their first game and then Assiniboia knocked them out of the tournament in their I second game. This year ' s team was composed mainly of grade nine and ten students with only one senior, I Ed Ralph, on the club. With a year of experience behind them, they should be even more I successful in ' 63.
