JUNIOR BOYS ' BASKETBALL 1960-61 had promised to be a most successful year for Junior Basketball at B.C.I., and, to be sure, the team compiled its best record in many a year. However, as is often true, the competition rose to the challenge, and B.C.I, was squeezed out during the playoffs. Starting the season in the always powerful town of Kitchener, B.C.I. , hampered by early illness and injuries, suffered a pair of defeats at the hands of K.C.I, and Eastwood Collegiate, 52-32 and 47-34 respectively. The latter game, however, was eventu- ally conceded as a victory when Eastwood was found defaulting its games. Not at all discouraged by these initial setbacks, the fellows jumped back to soundly defeat North Park, 42-26, and then Waterloo Collegiate, 46-35. However, just when they appeared to be on their way, they were edged 51-48 in a very close battle with Guelph Collegiate. This game was the season ' s heartbreaker, and all the fellows played exceptionally well even in defeat. The poor facilities at Gait did not bother B.C.I. , as it romped to a 52-27 victory in the succeeding game. But on their home court the boys were un- able to hold back a strong Pauline Johnson squad and suffered a 46-33 defeat. However, the season ended in grand style with a runaway victory over J. F. Ross Collegiate, 51-31. B.C.I. ' s six and tw o record stood sufficiently high in the league standings to require a playoff with Pauline Johnson for second place. Unfortunately, the team was defeated by a solid nine points on her home court. Therefore, her Herculean accomplish- ment, defeating P.J. by six points in the second game, was not enough to win the series, and B.C.I, was eliminated. This year ' s squad showed exceptional promise, and the senior team will certainly benefit from the addition of these members ne.xt year. The junior team a s well bears careful watching because of the Mr. Mann ' s patient guidance and his new midget leagues. It is certainly to him that all credit is due for this year ' s fine display. — Dave Whillans 12B Page 57

Senior Basketball team managed to better its won-loss record over the prev- ious season, and put on a promising display for future years. We ended the schedule with a 3-6 won-loss record, just failing to reach the play-offs, as we finished fifth in the league standings. The first two games saw the team away at Kit- chener. The BrEint Avenue boys were able to keep up to the fast pace set by their opponents in the first half, but collapsed during the last half. During the first double win of the season for our teams, the seniors stunned an unbeaten Waterloo Collegiate by edging them 51-49. The highlight was the see-saw battle between our . short senior squad and the extremely tall Vikings from Waterloo. The only other game at home featured Guelph Ro3s Collegiate, which downed the home players 47- 23. There were 48 personal fouls called in this game, and these slowed it down considerably. For the first night game of the year, Brantford travelled to Guelph Collegiate. Here the Blue and Gold were outscored 55-48. The game was close Page 56 throughout, with Jim Leitch leading the team with 26 points. The senior team split games with our inter-city rivals. In a twin win for B.C.I, the seniors took Nork Park 28-24 on a somewhat slippery floor. B.C.I. ' s shooting, which was consistently oflE, proved to be a great factor in a close defeat, 48-42, in the contest with P.J.C. Nearing the end of the schedule, the Blue and Gold put on their poorest exhibition of the basketball season against Gait Collegiate in Gait. However, the seniors put on a strong finish by taJcing a 47-44 decision from Gait Glenview. The game went into overtime, with Leitch sinking 16 points, Muir 12, and Moyer 9. Jim Leitch proved to be our high scorer, and was most outstanding on the forward line, while Terry Moyer was top point man at the guard spot. B.C.I. expects to have many players back next year, and there will be promising juniors stepping into the senior spotlight. — Ron Muir llA
