Page 50 VOX COLLEGII June1935 WINTER SPORTS The winter sports activities were mainly C.O.S.S.A. league basketball, house league volleyball and basketball, as well as gym work. The house league, now well established, provided a great deal of enjoyable fun after school hours. Gym work, fostered by Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Synott, was a healthful pastime for many more. However, everyone followed their careers closely throughout the season. Here again Mr. Cockburn had the big job of coaching both teams all by himself. The juniors were a well-balanced team, but fell short in scoring plays, so that O.C.I. edged them out in close games. The seniors, one of the finest teams B.C.I. has had, after winning an exhibi- tion match with O.C.I., were so unfortunate as to lose the first league game and with it their grasp on the title. BASKETBALL Exhibition-O.C.I. at Barrie Although the first game of the season, the play was fast in the junior con- test. The score at half time was even, 16-16, but Orillia tightened up and went on to make it 43-22 before it was over. The visitors were greatly streng- thened by a grad who scored 27 points. For the locals Perry Ryan and Doug Reynolds scored all the points but Ayers' two. The Seniors went on a scoring rampage in an exceptionally close game. Bill Strachan and Bus Storey on the same line accounted for most of B.C.I.'s points. The play was about as even as the score f49-489. The victory seemed to be a good omen, but it only served to prepare O.C.I. for the league struggle. O.C.I. at Barrie . The first game of the C.O.S.S.A. league, the junior struggle, was a thriller. Allan Patterson and Jack Dyte kept their opponents from scoring, while Ryan, Reynolds and George Thompson put B.C.I. in the lead 14-10 at half time. The visitors sent the score up to 19-16 in their favour, but B.C.I. staged a come- back till the home team was on top 20-19. However, O.C.I. sunk three long shots to take the game 25-20. The outcome of the senior contest was disheartening, for in the middle of the last half Barrie had a lead. 35-23, established by Storey, Strachan and Norris. In the dying moments of the game the desperate O.C.I. team swamped B.C.I. by adding 18 points to their total 143-375. But for that turn of the tide B.C.I. would very likely have been triumphant at the end of the league games. B.C.I. at Orillia When the O.C.I. juniors won the second game of the schedule on their own floor they secured a strangle-hold on the title. The score was close but unrecorded. After a thorough investigation this was as obscure as ever. The Seniors set the Same off at a sizzling pace but O.C.I. played steadily. so that all Barrie's frantic efforts availed them little, for at half time they were down 15-6. Storeyfs close-in shots bounced harmlessly off the boards. Norris, Frank Muir and Vic. Knox had little luck in shots. Bill Strachan was the star of the gameg both his shooting and snappy floor work were superb. It was disconcerting amid Barrie's frenzied attempts to tie the score to have Larkin periodically get by them for a basket. On the whole B.C.I. carried the play and was best on the floor work, but was erratic around the basket. Final score: O.C.I. 30, B.C.I. 22. O.C.I. at Barrie With a fine display of team work, B.C.I. triumphed 26-19. Barrie was always ahead except towards the end of the game when O.C.I. caught up at 18 all. At this crisis Reynolds called time out, so that B.C.I. after the breath- ing space came through to win. Ryan and Thompson led the scoring with 8 points each while Reynolds, the handy man, had 4. Especiallycommendable was the excellent co-operation of McCullough and Dyte on defence, earning 6 points. Although O.C.I. held the seniors even in the first half, Barrie went on an orgy of scoring until the score-board read 51-33 at full time. Storey felt at home and collected 26 points. Strachan and Norris supplemented this. Vic Knox and Frank Muir did not give their competitors any peace, either. Sut-
