Lakehead Technical Institute rugby team
The Lakehead Technical Institute rugby team was the school's rugby football side in the 1950–51 season, captained by Wallace Dubinsky and coached by Don Clark.[1] The team played only exhibition games, two of them before the first snowfall, in new grey and red sweaters.[2] (See Lakehead Technical Institute Men's Athletic Society.)
1950 season
Although it lacked the previous year's quantity of men, the team was described as every bit as strong, with a brilliant backfield and a solid line. It won its first game, against the Fort William All-Stars, 13–12, and lost its second to the Port Arthur All-Stars, 4–0.[1]
