)enior J i c ouse Richardson seemed to be the powerhouse in hockey this year, although as in soccer, all teams seemed to be quite well-balanced. Richardson finished on top in league play, but in the semi¬ finals came up against a spirited Young House crowd led by Jacques, Bracken and Henderson, and lost 3-1. At the same time, a much-improved New House captured a 2-1 victory over second- place Hamber. As a result, the final pitched the third and four.h place teams against each other, and New House, supported by McDo nald, Gard¬ ner, and McKnight rolled over a somewhat con¬ fused Young by a 4-0 score.

Only New proved a weak sister in the league, the other three providing keen competition for the championship. Basketball skills improved steadily, and by the third round, dribbling was included in the games. In semi-final play, Young knocked off Richardson and Hamber overcame New. The final was an exciting match with Young led by Tutiah and Wood, taking an early lead, but Hamber, with sharp foul-sho oting, took charge, and the game ended 13-11.

On the first day of competition, Young House led Hamber by ' • point, but in the team relays, two days later, Richardson and Hamber pulled ahead in the Midget race. Young came back strongly in the Junior Division, and from there on in it was nip and tuck as to who would win. New tried valiantly to pull up with the other three, but did not have enough depth.

Ross McKnight, a top-rate goalie saved the day on many a memor¬ able occasion. The sight of defenceman Spooner madly swooping in with his parts at half-mast to defend his goal, or the sight of McDonald vicious¬ ly boarding the biggest of the opponents, will never be forgotten. Frith’s nimble dribbling of the puck with his feet must have surely confused the enemy. The season has been a most enjoyable one, and we thank Mr. Gill for coaching us, SJ, oo S occer Back: David, Gardiner, McMurray, Mr. Gill, Spooner, Hutch¬ ings, Bowes.

The team improved gradually, and reached a peak in the final match against Varennes, scoring two goals, and helping Spooner to a shut¬ out. Campbell, Donahue, Bredin, and Frith proved to be the backbone of the team, along with steady stand-up play from Spooner. The Second Eleven (Form VI) played one match against Oakenwald, and this proved to be an exciting 1-1 game.
