reverses, is due in a large part to Dr. Burke, Sandy Smith and the executive.
Doc,” at great personal sacrifice and for love of the game, gave unstint
ingly of his time and experience in coaching. One wonders what U.B.C.
would be like, or what we should do without Doc.” Captain Sandy
Smith, with four years Senior experience, was invaluable as an aid to Dr.
Burke and to his team-mates on the field. A tremendous contribution,
unseen by the cheering fans, was made by a hard-working executive com
posed of Dr. Davis and Earl Vance, president and manager of Senior
team; Johnny McLean, Roy McDonald, Audrey Cruise, Jack Sargent
and Lyle Jestley. Team work, here just as much as on the field, has
played a great part in Varsity’s success. If in the past we have had
occasion to be proud of our team, we should be no less proud of the execu
tive behind it and any future executive will have to work hard to equal
this year’s record.
The team of next year will contain many new faces. The Club
suffers the loss through graduation of Sandy Smith, Cam Duncan, Bill
Latta and Lyle Jestley (the twins) and Try. Smith. The Intermediate
team will doubtless help to fill the breach as it has in the past. The
standard has so risen that it has become increasingly hard to pick the first
string—and then there is Doc” Burke, always a factor to reckon with
when it comes to making teams.
Senior “A” Basketball
(Continued from Page One Hundred and Fifty-five)
OSBORNE—Tony, the youngster of the squad, has shown more improve
ment than any other player; his size and speed make him a difficult
man to beat.
ARMSTRONG—Ed joined the team late in the season but gives a big
promise for next year.
LEE—Cy is a hard worker and a consistent point getter and a wonderful
team man.
TERv0—Randy with his long shots from out beyond the foul line have
worried more than one guard.
CAMPBELL—Pi’s work on offensive rebounds has been the sensation of
the league. He is the high scorer of the team.
ALPEN—Frank is: the man who missed the boat,” but for all that, he
has turned in some nice games and this year’s experience will make
him a very valuable man next year.
NicHoLsoN—Laurie is a good team man; he covers centre floor on the
zone defence, and snares his share of the points.
