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

THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Basketball Our hockey and basketball teams did not bring the bacon home this year, but the rumour going around school is, that before the boys started their league games. they were told that the huge cup case would have to be enlarged if we should win any more silverware. Rather than put the school to this expense and trouble, the boys thought that they would let Bloor and Humberside win the hockey championship, and Harbord and Humberside the basketball. Joke over, the winning teams well de- served their laurels. Congratulat- ionsl After weeks of hard practising, the following teams were chosen: Senior-Dellabough. fcapt.J cen- tre: Tozman, right forward: Dyce left forward: Medlock, defense: Hint, defense: Cowan, defense: Bailey, forward: Diehl, forward' G. Keppy. forward. Junior-Fenner, fcaptq centre: Kaplan, right forward: Clavir, left forward: Gray, defense: Cole, de- fense: Richardson, defense: Rell forward: M. Keppy forward: Wag- man, forward: New, forward: Cle- ments, defense. - v Oakwood at Bloor Oakwood seniors started the ser- ies with a win from the scrappy ltlloor quintet, but it was not before ten minutes of overtime had been played. A smart long shot by Wally Dellabough and a neat close in basket by Mickey Tozman prac- tically cinched the game and our Iloys came home with a 2-1 to 20 victory. Our juniors were not as fortun- ate. liloor trimmed them 20 to 13, but had the game lasted longer, the hill boys would have made the score much closer as they rapidly improved as the game progressed. Pngr S1'.f'f!l-four Fenner was probably the most ef- fective, though all played well. Oakwood at Western Tech. The seniors won their second game by default as the Tech. was unable to furnish a senior team this year. The juniors took the young workmen to camp with a 26 to 12 score. Cole, Clavir and Fenner shared the scoring honours. Oakwood at Central Commerce The seniors suffered their first defeat in one of the most hectic games of the season. It was any- one's game until the last gong, but Lady Luck chose to be with the typists and as the final whistle sounded, they scored the winning basket. The score being 21-19. The entire team played well, no one starring. The juniors reversed things and handed Commerce an 18 to 12 de- feat. Oakwood piled up a nice lead by half time, then olayed a steady defensive game which proved too r'uch for the Shaw street aggre- gation. Kaplan and Gray played well. Parkdale at Oakwood Oakwood juniors and seniors made their debut on our own floor very successfully, winning both games from Parkdale C.I. The senior game started off very fast and with the fine shooting and dribbling of Jack Dyce, our boys had a 6 point margin at half time. The second half was not as livelv as the first. Both teams resorted to longer shots. Bint and Cowan played fine effective ball. The score being 24-21. The juniors handed the league leading Parkdaleites their first de- feat which was rather a hard nill for the visitors to swallow. The excellent shooting of Kenpy, Clavir, and Fenner resulted in a 26-23 victory.
