SENIOR FOOTBALL ~ 1 9 5 7
.A whistle blew and under a clean October sky .the football season began. Then, all too soon, another whistle sounded, this time under the fast graying sky of fading autumn. The C. D. C. I. squa~ left the field in a slow, dejected walk. Barrie, the team they had wanted to ooat, especially' for the satisfaction of their new coach,.: Mr. Paton, who worked v.ery hard in coaohing the team that played for '. you this year, had just beaten the C. D. C. 1. squud 21 - 6 in 'Ghe last game"of the season.
The 1957 senior team was composed mainly of juniors and first year players. Because only a few experienced players were on ~he team, the other scores were
really not a fair indication of what "this team might have a.::>ne with more experience. These experienced players, Dennis Allen, Harvey Robinson, Ken Ruddick, and Hugh Butters, who played their last game o'f high school ball, expect to graduate this year.
High point of the season came against the Orillia team, VJhat made'it more enjoyable was that the game was won in Orillia. Usua:ly, a backfielder is the hero of such a game; but on this occasion it was a lineman, Roger UQell, a hard-wQrking guard, fell on a loose ball in Orillia'a end zone for the winning touchdown.
A football Qanquet, which is hoped to be an annua l affa ir ~ climaxed the '. $eason. The principal and his wife were the guests of honour at the ~nquet whic~
;was lavishly prepared by the team member' s r:c.ot hers ar.:l e:!.egan·::'ly ~erved by the boys' fathers.
Ian Cairns was this year's winner of the Titus-Robertscn ~roph~ award9d annuallytotheplayerwholivesuptothetenfootr>a:'lrulesset u,?b::theRed ~eather Association. This trophy was originated through the ef~orts of Mr. Titus and Ei former C. D. C. 1. teacher, Mr. Robertson. NIr. Titus n:ade the presentation to
