gg THE ALGONQUIN BOYS' BASKETBALL On December first, Coach Oliver issued his usual call for basketball players. About forty candidates answered the call. Due to the con- struction of the new ficor in the gymnasium, Coach Oliver was forced to put his charges through three brief practice periods on the Brewer Field House court. Due to the lack of practice, Canton dropped her first league game to Malone and the second to Potsdam. After the Potsdam game the new Hoor was completed and used daily in prep- aration for the Gouverneur game. As a result of a week of hard practice Canton was able to topple Gouverneur by a score of 22-20. Canton encountered very little trouble defeat- ing O. F. A. and Norwood which completed the first half of the league games. When the Canton team journeyed to Water- town, it made history for itself by defeating Beano Graff's boys by a score of 31-28. VVhen Watertown traveled to Canton, the Yellow and Brown again upset the scale by taking the Purple and White across by a scare of 26-25. The week following, Canton ncsed out Malone in the tournament by a score of 31-30 to earn the right to play Gouverneur in the championship. The championship was won by Gouverneur 23-26. Although Canton lost the championship she boasts of one of the best teams which has ever represented the Yellow and Brown. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Even though the girls' basketiball season wasn't so successful this year as last, the mem- bers of the team worked well together. Last year we lost nearly all the first team. Regard- less of that disadvantage, the girls had a fighting spirit which helped them. They were victors of two games of the season. The O. F. A. game played here was about the most exciting even though the C. H. S. girls were defeated. Our only hope is to produce a championship team next year. Most all of the players of the year, with the exception of two- Happy Clark and Leona Johnson-will be with us next year. -Mary Elizabeth Pike.
