Edith Bowen in her lst year at school did all the pitching and was out- standing. The catcher, Caroline Smith, was also a star and was one of the team's best hitters. The infield of Helen Crew flstl, Marion Vair C2nd7, Dor- othy McKnight fssl, and Beryl Parke C3rdJ, were all snappy fielders and good hitters. The outfield of Edna Thompson, Mabel Richardson, Ella McCausland, provided plenty of batting punch. Others who played on teams were Ruth Scott, Norma Jacks, Verona Appleby, Ruby Robinson and Dorothy Thompson. Miss Kelso of the teaching staff was manager of the team and Archie Thomp- son and Tom Hare of Barrie ball team did the coaching.

Barrie was hampered by the illness of their star forward, Beverley Simmons. However, Helen Bryson very ably took her place at centre with Connie Spearn and Muriel McDonald the other peppy forwards. The strong guard line consisting of Margaret Webb. Jean Campbell and June Thomson cleverly intercepted some very tricky passes. This defeat eliminated B.C.I. Juniors from the league. . The Seniors were more fortunate than the Juniors by winning, the score being 36-8. B.C.I. held a neat lead all through the game. At half-time the score was 32-8. Mabel Richardson, agile centre, scored 13 of Barrie's 18 bask- ets, Ruth Scott and Verona Appleby sinking in the other 5. The guards, Jean Lennox, Dot- Grant and Muriel Rodgers, played a smart game. Much credit goes to Marion Vair, who played senior because of the illness of two senior players. B.C.I. Juniors vs. Newmarket Juniors Newmarket Junior girls were the guests of B.C.I. on Friday, February 22. When Newmarket team came out on the floor, it looked like an easy victory for Barrie with the visiting team all lst forrners but one. Although they were small they had plenty of life in them and they kept the Barrie girls racing. At half-time the score was 12-6 for Barrie. The second half was much closer. Newmarket forging ahead for a while. However, the game ended with B.C.l. leading by one basket, final score being 22-20. B.C.I. Seniors vs. C.C.I. Seniors Collingwood Shipbuilders played the return exhibition game against B.C.l. on Friday, February 22. This game was very different from the first game. Barrie winning by a large margin. One reason for this was because Beverley Simmons, who usually plays junior, was teamed up with Mabel Richardson. It seemed that every time the guards passed the ball to our forwards, a basket was scored. At end of the lst quarter score was 15-0 for Barrie. In the 2nd quarter the players seemed to have settled to their job and the play was faster and closer. Barrie remained ahead all through the game, final score being 40-12. B.C.I. Seniors vs. 0.S.C.I.
