Rucy Team Bomgs B,C,1.T,

 

The Douglas College rugby team put
up another fine performance Over the
weekend defeating B.C.I.T. by a score of
23-0.

Douglas started on a strong note
going ahead 4-0 in the first minutes of
the game, the result of a try by George
Boon. But play deteriorated due to some
poor passing by the Douglas back line and
too much kicking by both teams. By the
half, Douglas led by a score of 12-0 with
Bobby Given and John Turecki each scoring
a try for Douglas.

Play improved considerably in the
second half as Douglas started settling
down to some good, open orthodox rugby.
Newcomer Rod Miller Scored another try
for Douglas as did Chuck Kenyon. Dave
Jagget kicked a penalty goal for Douglas
to round out the scoring.

In their first 3 games ‘this year,
Douglas has kept the opposition from
crossing their touchline. On Sunday they
take on Capilano College.

SoccER TEAM Loses To V.C.C,

 

 

The Douglas soccer team dropped a
narrow decision to Vancouver City College
at Moberly Park over the weekend, going
down 2-1.

The match was pretty even the first
half with neither team scoring and both
teams putting on a fine exhibition of
soccer.

In the second half V.C.c. went ahead
on a goal that was hotly disputed by the
Douglas captain and players on the grounds
that the goal was off-side. The referee
was unmoved and minutes later the Douglas
backs having lost their cool let in a
ridiculously easy goal giving V.C.C. a
2-0 lead. Douglas now threw everything

 

20

into the attack and narrowed the gap to
2-1 as John Scivoei hammered in a
penalty goal. - But V.C.c. hung on to
win a most exciting match.

Both these teams are strong contenders
for the league championships again this
year, and their next match should be a
dandy.
