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.

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

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.

draw for the leadership, therefore the team's objective was a win. Needless to say the boys played in championship form to win -1-1. From the three groups the two best from each formed a group oi' six, the winner to be declared by a knockout series. Oakwood met Bloor Collegiate in the first round and was defeated by the champ- ions-to-be 1-0. Our team was no discredit to the school, but without taking any laurels away frosn the victors, Oakwood didn't play its usual game and missed many gold- en opportunities. The team went down fighting to the last. Thus the hockey season for Oakwood once more drew to a close. Much credit for the team's show- ing is due to the coach and mana- ger, Mr. A. Dunklev, and through this school organ the team wishes to express its appreciation of his untiring efforts. Now for a few words to the school-especially to the third. fourth, and fifth forms. Where is our school spirit? The students seem to be content with the victor- ies of the past. The only athletic body that receives support worth mentioning is rugby. But the en- couragement given to soccer, hoc- key and basketball is far too small. When the basketball team is away from home no more than three or four attend the games. In the hockey season which has just closed. there was an average sup- port of about eight students ner game. Let us have some of the spirit that won for the school the best reputation in the city. Junior Hockey Under the watchful eyes of coaches Forman and Dunkley some forty aspirants turned out to early practices and made the selection of a regular team difficult. Oakwood 2, Parkdale 1. The first game of the schedule was played on one of the coldest THE OAKWOOD ORACLE days of the year, and owing to the roughness of the ice there were few combination plays. Hailey, who scored both goals, and Hell, were best for Oakwood, while Grant,visiting goalkeeper, saved his team on numerous occasions. Humberside 2. Oakwood 1. Humberside's husky junior team handed us a defeat in the next encounter, which produced some fast and clever hockey. lloth for- ward lines matched speed for speed and many plays were stopped be- fore they 1'eached the defense. After Arnup, cent1'e player, was in- jured and forced to retire, Hum- berside pressed more strongly and succeeded in getting two goals in the dying moments of the game. The visitors showed a strong de- fence while Reid and Hastine were good for Oakwood. Bloor 3. Oakwood 3. Oakwood started off well and an Arnup to Todd rush resulted in the latter counting. Bloor caine back strongly however. netting th1'ee goals in rapid succession, but Rum- ble tied it up by scoring two goals on individual plays. Parkdalel. Oakwood 0. The small rink was a handicap to our speedy forwards and Park- dale emerged the victors in a glori- fied game of shinny. Oakwood 1. Humberside 1. This was the fastest game of the season with Oakwood, who needed the win, forcing the play. The strong Humberside defense suc- ceeded in holding off the determin- ed rushes of Arnup and Bailey, and the resulting tie decreased our chances. Oakwood 0, Bloor 0. In a slow, heavy checking game. Oakwood and Bloor battled to a scorel.ess tie. Bloor's youthful goalkeeper played like a veteran. stopping everything O a k w o o d could offer. Page Sixty-Tlz.1'ec
