lington offence to a meagre 28 points. Facing strong Central ball-control, the Wildcats were not able to unleash a scoring punch that could penetrate for that all-important final basket, and at the game ' s end the score-board read 28-26 for the visitors. More rewarding than the final score, however, was the fact that Coach Bradstock and his team drew the high praise and respect of the opposing coach. Some of the boys performed so capably that they were promoted to the senior team. Here they all contributed greatly to the suc- cess enjoyed during the play-offs. Another very encouraging feature of the ' 65 Wildcats was that the team acquired many new mem- bers who will provide a solid core of exper- ience for the coach to build next year.

They breezed through the regular season winning all but the first game, and boasted a seven game un- defeated streak as they advanced into the semi-finals against Waterdown. Responding to terrific fan support the Lions upset the Warriors and moved on to face Oakville Tra- falgar in an exciting two game total-point series which ended with the score 127-111 in our favour. Having won the Zone Championship, the boys then carried the Green and Gold to the Niagara Falls tournament where they met some very stiff opposition in the form of Notre Dame Niagara. But they recovered from this setback and downed Grimsby in a con- solation-round cliff-hanger. This marked the end of a very success- ful season which saw three players on the team accumulate more than 125 points each. The Lions consistently provided quality bas- ketball both offensively and defensively. A superb showing of this defensive strength occurred when they held the Waterdown scor- ing machine to a mere 26 points while piling up 38 themselves. Well done boys! 50

While winning four games and losing another four, they missed a play-off berth by only one game. But just as exciting as any play-off contest was the second match against Burlington Central. Having just been humiliated earlier by the Colts, our boys fought back with rugged de- termination and contained the powerful Bur- TOP ROW: Mr. Biadstock, Coach; R. Ponting, M. Chapman, M. Hallas, P.

Led by some dazzling individual efforts, particularly in the light-weight divisions, this year ' s wrestling team attained some very re- spectable plateaux. The team ranked second at two different SOSSA meets and earned an 8 and 2 won-loss record in its dual meets. The highlight of the regular season occurred when we became the first team to ever defeat Nel- son. However, climaxing the whole year ' s work, was the skillful display put on by Clyde Peterson in capturing the SOSSA and OFSSA championships for the second consecu- tive year. Since 1962 Clyde has lost only one of the 36 matches he has fought. Coach Neale can look back on such commendable perfor- mances as these and truly consider his work successful. 1964-65 will go down as a very suc- cessful year in Aldershot ' s illustrious golf- history. For it marked for the first time GOLF i fj f. pi f 1 n t fe ' ' --- ' w Aldershot has won not only the Zone I title but also the SOSSA championship, em- blematic of golf supremacy among the High Schools of Southern Ontario. Few would have guessed that when Aldershot entered its first golf team four years ago, it would grow into such a power- ful team in so short a time. Picture: D. Wilson, A. John- son, B. Lees, D.
