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.

Central Tech at Oakwood The senior Oakwoodites threw a larged sized wrench into the basketball machine of the mech- anics by swamping them 52 to 4. The excellent shooting, pivotting and jumping of Dellabough and Dyce was a treat to watch. Bailey, Bint and Tozman also played well. Mr. Day's lads outclassed the younger basketeers from Tech. by a score of 10 to 2. Clavir, Fenner and Wagman shared the scoring honours. Humberside at Oakwood Humberside came out to our gym and did the trick in great fashion by beating our seniors 31 to 20. Oakwood needed the win to keep in the running, but they seemed unable to fathom the sup- erior team play of the west enders. Cowan played effectively, scoring two neat baskets from centre. Dyce, Bailey and Bint also played well. Our juniors r.eversed the decis- ion by whipping the fast Humber- side five, 16 to 8. It was a well played game. Fenner. Bell and Gray being the most effective. Bloor at Oakwood Oakwood seniors again defeated Bloor in another close battle. Su- perior substitutes won the game. Both teams were riddled with pen- alties and the Oakwood relief line proved more effective than the re- gulars. The fine shooting of Diehl and Tozman was responsible for the 26-23 score. The juniors also took the maroon and gold minor team to camp to the merry tune of 23 to 12. The excellent shooting of Clavir was responsible for the win. although the entire team checked well and always were in the lead. Western Tech. at Oakwood. The juniors increased their win- ning streak to five in a row, when THE OAKWOOD ORACLE they trounced the Tech. 14-10. Keppy turned in a fine game, scor- ing the two winning baskets. Central Commerce at Oakwood Once again our seniors bowed to th.e fast Commerce five. Oak- wood could not do anything right and faded fast in the closing five minutes, only to let Commerce pile up a 38-16 score. It was an off- day for the entire team, though Dyce scored eight of the sixteen points. The juniors made up for the big boy's defeat by trouncing the Commercial lads 23 to 7. Our boys had everything their own way and were never in danger. Fenner and Cole played cleverly. Oakwood at Parkd ale The senior clan, determined to make up for their last defeat, went down to Parkdale and trimmed them 18 to 15. The entire team performed brilliantly and well de- served the victory. Dellabough, Tozuian and Medlock shared the scoring honours. Our juniors were forced to take a back seat for the much improved Parkdale five. The Oakwood team seemed lost on the large floor. their passes going astray and their shots wild. New and Richardson stood out well. The final score be- ing 21-18. Oakwood at Central Tech. The dark blue, light blue and old gold aggregation, minus their star left forward, went down to the H3.l'lJO1'Ci street Tech. and trimmed them 21-11. Dellabough turned in a clever game, scoring fourteen points. Bailey, Keppy, and Bint also performed well. The juniors again had to taste defeat, although they were leading 7-5 at half time, but fading badly in the closing few minutes, lost out 17-9. Clavir, Cole and Fenner did the scoring.
