The Inter-Form League. This year, as usual, there has been an inter-form competition in which every form in the school took part and some excellent play- ing' was shown. Th.e second form champs, I1.G., defeated the firsts and they in turn fell down before IILE. The winner of the fifths V.B. defeated IV.C. and March 26, saw the final inter-form game be- tween V.B. and IILE. It was evid- ent that the IILE. girls knew what they were about and while the se- date and sober fifths dashed to and fro in a frenzied manner, the ball kept rolling into the HIE. basket with clock-like regularity. We re- from mentioning the final frain score out of deference to our fifth form team friends. The cup-winning consists of Phyl Cameron, Helen Hymns, Helen Giles, Louise Cheshire, Betty Thomson, Dot Carter, and Anita Carnegie. In- cidentally this team is made up largely of last year's 2C. Ama- zons, so the outcome was not en- tirely a surprise. Congratulations TILE. You certainly deserve it. Oakwood-Graduates The last event of the season was a very interesting game with some TH E OAKWOOD ORACLE of Oakwood's ex-players. These were, Jean Iivans, Roberta Heade, Iluth Fumer, Marg. Allison and Louise Davies-better known at Oakwood as Louise Miles. The Junior team played during the first half and the Seniors in the second, but the grads succeeded in show- ing both teams that they had not forgotten how to handle a basket- ball. They defeated the combined forces 34-28. Following the game a royal banquet was served in the Household Science room by the athletic executive, assisted by Dor- othy Hewitt, Jessie Watters and Verna Sheldon. 3E lN'l'ERl l FHM FHANIPIQ DNS Louise Cheshire.-, Billy Ennis, Dorothy Carter, Betty Thomosn, Ilelen Hymns, Phyll Cameron.

THE OAKWOOD ORACLE use of her height in intercepting the ball. Margaret Eddy-Marget played guard and was always ready to do her part. She also makes use of her height. Elizabeth Gillespie-Just a word about Gess, she has left herself out. She is a steady player who keeps on the go. We will certain- ly miss her next year. The Inter-Collegiate League. Oakwood-North Toronto Early in January the teams went up to North Toronto, full of en- thusiasm for the first game of the season. Even the fact that the mob element of North Toronto, out in full force to see the game. was ranged behind bars along one side of the gym, did not daunt our girls and they played with a will. The Senior game, which was played first was exceptionally fast throughout. Oakwood was ahead at the end of the first half, but North Toronto got the lead to- wards the end and finally defeated Oakwood. The Junior game was more one- sided. Oakwood got a good start and kept well ahead throughout, defeating N.T.C.I. 44-4. Oakwood-Bloor The second game was with Bloor on our own floor and 1'esult- ed in a victory for both teams. The Senior game was less spec- tacular than the fight against North Toronto, the opposition seemed less strenuous and Oak- wood's shooting did not seem quite as good as it usually is. However, olll' team had most of the play and defeated Bloor 28-16. The Junior team played well, defeating Bloor Junio1's 36-12 with- out difficulty. Oakwood-North Toronto This time we met North Toronto on our own floor. The strength of Puyr SI'.1'fjj their Senior team had not waned and in spite of vigorous opposition offered by the Oakwoodites, they kept ahead winning the game 40- 20. The tables were turned however, in the Junior game and our team carried off the laurels with a score of 39-18. Oakwood-Bloor This was the occasion of two very peppy games. The Seniors found Bloor a 'ttougher' proposit- ion than before, and Oakwood had to fight hard for her win. The Juniors also found their opponents much more formidable, particularly as Betty Thomson was missing from our defence line. The game was breathlessly close throughout. A basket scored with- in the last few seconds saved the day and we finished one ahead of Bloor. Oakwood-Humberside The Junior team played its first semi-final game against Humber- side, the winners of the Western group at Central Tech. Fate did not smile upon Oakwood, but the team played well and at least gave Humberside a good run for their well-deserved victory. Oakwood-Harbord The next game was with Har- bord, the winners of the Central group. Both teams played well and the score ended in a tie, 25 all. Oakwood-Riverdale The Juniors played their last semi-final Oakwood vs. Riverdale at Central Commerce. At the end of the first half it looked like a walk-away, with Riverdale 13 points ahead, but Oakwood picked up wonderfully in the last half, getting 8 baskets to Riverdale's 2. It was not quite enough to beat them, however, and the whistle blew leaving Riverdale one point ahead.

The senior boys advanced to the play- offs only to be eliminated by the ultimate champions, Bloor Collegi- ate. The team practiced every Sat- urday at Varsity Arena and at the beginning of the season were in good shape. Oakwood, with three other schools, namely, Harbord. Central Tech and Central Com- merce composed the Central group of the High School League. The games were played at Ravina Rink every Tuesday afternoon. The team: Goal, L. Griffiths, li. Percyg ll. Defence, W. Glover, cap- taing L. Defence, F. Hudson: Cen- tre, Pearson: L. Wing, H. Arnupg ll. Wing, l. llaileyl Alternates, J. Morel, tl. liailey, D. Johnston, C. Kelly, Bl. Johnston. liach team was played twice, Harbord being the first opposition. The team, that is Oakwood, went on a scoring bee winning 12-l. Almost everybody scored and the goal-keeper, not to be outdone, watched the puck slide br for Har- bord's only count. Prior to the game, Hill Glover was elected captain for the season. Pllfjl' Sf.'rfg1-Treo 9 O nv.-ue The next game was with Central Tech and Oakwood was victor- ious 1-0. This game was very close, apparently the boys had been too confident since their Harbord vict- ory. The following Tuesday the team met Commerce, who, like Oakwood, had yet to taste defeat. The game was close, but on the play Central Commerce was just as superior as the score indicated which was 1-0 in favour of our opponents. Thus Commerce advanced to the league leadership. The team, not to be left by the wayside, practiced diligently and next played the return game with Harbord who by now had a vastly improved team. Oakwood was a little slow in getting under way. At the end of the second period the score was 3-2 for us. In the last period the team scored another goal winning the game -T1-2. In the return game with Central Tech, Oakwood played good hockey to win by -1-1. At the same time Central Commerce only drew with Harbord thus giving them only a one point advantage over Mr. IJunkley's school house. The last league game was to be with Commerce and with it the group leadership. For if we won or draw in this game, we won or
