The following members were elected to office: Honorary President — Mr. McKone President — Robert Alexander Vice-President — Jack Lackey Secretary -Treasurer — Jack Schnekenburger. Boys ' Basketball. Most of the boys attending the Normal School this year had played basketball during their collegiate years. Thus a very good basketball team was quickly formed at the beginning of November. The boys played South Collegiate at South for their first game. Although they fought hard, they were beaten by the fast playing South team. The score at the final whistle was 29-19. The same teams clashed several weeks later. This game was also played in the South Collegiate gymnasium. The Normalites had had some prac- tice and they gave the South team a good game. The South team ended on top with a last minute basket making the score 27-26. Walter Grogan, the captain of the Normalites, was the outstanding player of this game, scoring twenty points. The Normalites played their third game in the Normal School gymnasium against a boys ' team from the Wesley United Church. The Wes- ley team was fast, but not fast enough for the Normalites. The Normal team won by a score of 23-17, with Walter Grogan again leading the scor- ing. This was the last game played by the team in the month of January. We understand, however, that several games are scheduled and we wish the team lots of luck in these forthcoming games. The team representing the Normal School was as follows: Forwards — Walter Grogan (captain), G. Gro- gan, J. Laidlaw, E. Collishaw, J. Schnekenburger, F. Flannigan, R. Alexander. Guards— H. Brown, J. Lackey, M. Riach, N. Andrews. — Robert Alexander. The Boys Athletic Society SECOND TERM The following officers were elected: Honorary President — Mr. McKone President — Walter Grogan Vice-President — Howard Brown Secretary — Norman Andrew Treasurer — John Wakeling Form Representative — Ben Winiarz. The first major sport event of the year was the basketball game with the Wallaceburg High Lites. Although the visitors had mastered the art of team play, the Normalites, who had learned to combine co-operation and combination, came out on the winning side. After the game everyone converged on the gymnasium, where dancing was enjoyed. A dainty lunch was served by the girls ' basketball team. John Lillie, a member of the visiting team, thanked the Normal team for the enjoyable evening and invited the Normal boys to play a return game with them. Walter Grogan replied on behalf of the boys ' team, mentioning the inter-team spirit shown throughout the game and the desire to play a return game with the visitors. On Friday night, March 25, the girls ' and boys ' basketball teams, accompanied by several spectators, journeyed to Ingersoll to play the Collegiate teams. In the first game, the Ingersoll girls, having had considerably more practice than the Normal girls, proved to be the better team and won the game by a considerable margin. And now for the Boys ' Game (you know we men must stick together). The Normal boys again proved their ability to intercept the fast passes of the Ingersoll team and won the game by the score of 28 to 12. The outstanding scorers for the Normalites were Y. Grogan, J. Laidlaw and R. Alexander. At the time of writing, several other games are being arranged. As coach of the boys ' basketball team, I wish to thank all the members who co-operated one hundred per cent in team practice as well as team play. — Walter W. Grogan. Page Sixteen
