MAC hosts meet;
swimmers compete
Nine members of the boys’
varsity swim team will try for
the city championship at a meet
tonight at the Multnomah Ath-
letic Club.
Doug tried out for the
teeam this summer and be
cause of his skill in hockey
was accepted. The boys on
the team are recruited from
all over Canada and must
show exceptional skill be
fore they are accepted.
Doug’s team is stationed in
Victoria, British Columbia and
is named the Victoria Cougars.
The team is semi-pro but be
cause he does not get paid he is
still able to compete in amateur
athletics.
While playing hockey in
Canada, Doug is going to
school at the University of
Victoria. He is taking classes
there that will be good for
high school credit when he
returns to Grant to gradu
ate.
His team’s season will last un
til the first of March when he
will return. The season schedule
consists of 40 games which will
be played against other Junior A
Hockey teams from all over
British Columbia.
Doug is playing the same
position that he played last
year on his Portland team,
which is center.
The tea mwas designed for
boys who show an interest in
hockey and think that they
might like to follow it into pro
fessional hockey. Doug can play
on the team for three more years
until he is 20 years old.
Because he is the only Ameri
can boy on the team, Doug has
earned the nickname of Yank by
his fellow teammates.
Qualifying second for the
swim team at the city meet are
John Evans in the back stroke,
Mark Powell in the butterfly,
and Daryl Pape in the freestyle
event.
