SENICI2 GIRLS' BASKETBALL Our heartiest congratulations to the Senior Girls' Basket- ball team. Not content with clinching the inter-collegiate honors, they successfully threw off the threat of the Moose Jaw champions by defeating the YH to become Southern Provincial Champions. The Inter-collegiate League this year consisted of five teams all fairly evenly matched, and it was not without considerable difficulty that Central nosed out Scott for the league leader- ship. In the playoffs for Southern Provincial honors against Moose Jaw a home and home series was arranged. The first game at Moose Jaw gave the HY a comfortable margin of 9 points. But the Centralites were not to be beaten so easily, and in the return game played their hardest and won the series by two points. By this victory the girls were given the opportunity of travelling to Saskatoon to meet the Commercial Grads for the Murray Cup. Arrangements being made, the team motored to Saskatoon on Good Friday. The first game was played that night and although the girls were tired after their long trip, they were defeated by only two points. They played a smart brand of basketball but weakened in the dying moments of the game. The second game played on Saturday night was a fine display of fast basketball, and although they lost by one point, they were right in there all the time and never stopped fighting until the last whistle blew. Unfortunately the team had to do without Joyce Charlton, who was the worry of every opposing team during the season. Joyce, through illness, was unable to accompany the teani. The girls owe the major portion of their success to the patience and able coaching of Miss Tingley and Mr. Myatt. The Team Dorothy Cullum-One of the veterans of the- team, having completed her fourth year as one of the most dependable defence stars. . Joyce.Char1ton-Another veteran, but showing her prowess on the forward line. Hilda Leggett-Saskatoon's gift to Central, as forward has starred for two years on the school's championship teams. Nona Noonan-with Joyce and .Hilda, forms one of the highest scoring forward lines in Regina Inter-Collegiate basket- ball league. Louise Deacon-Promoted from last year's Junior team, has held her place on the fast travelling seniors as forward. Frances CroSSoneBurst into glory on the Senior team, with- out previous playing experience with Central teams. Is a valuable player either as a defence for forward. ' Olive Demchuk-Being only in first year, has made the old- timers move for she shows her ability on both forward and de- fensive lines. T ' T ' 57

JUNICR BOYS' BASKETBALL The Junior team finished their schedule without a loss. In a two game series with Moose Jaw Central Collegiate they won the first game at home, but lost the second and round at Moose Jaw. This is the third time in succession that the team have won the Kinsmen Cup, emblematic of City Intercollegiate Junior Championship. Mr. Cooper-spent much time coaching the team and de- veloping high-calibre combination. Forbes Cavanagh-Captain-plays centre-third year as a Junior. Has proved a valuable player. Edwin Doaneleft-wing man. Has a knack of finding the hoop from the corners. Gerald Gordon-plays right-wing to complete first string forwards. Tricky as well as a playmaker. Lorne Wickerson-right guard. Peter N oble-left guard. Between these two stalwart defencemen many an oppos- ing forward has had difficulty in finding the hoop. Ivan King-Centre-fast as well as evasive. Another big help to the team. Harold Peckinpaugh-a forward-held down the left-wing. Always there for the baskets. Jack Kerr-had hard luck in shooting this year but passes well. George Bujea-right guard. Ernest Ploss-left guard. These two boys improved a great deal during the year and showed themselves to be a fine pair of guards. Duncan Allen-forward-fathomed the secrets of the game and seemed to have that scoring ability. Stanley Abrams-forward-good dribbler. Fairly fast. Ed Stock-a late comer. In another year Ed will be able to show his true colors. ' Elmer Hunter-forward-smooth passer and fitted into plays well. MIDGET BCVS' BASKETBALL The Midget boys' basketball team won the intercollegiate city league for players 110 lbs. or under after being forced into a tie in league points.

Dorothy Bruce-Jump centre promoted from last year's Juniors, has played consistently all season. Marion Searle-Learned her basketball two years ago with the Juniors, and, after a year's rest proceeded to show the Senior team how to play defence. Isabel Scrimgeour-Another Junior promoted from last year, has amply justified the confidence in giving her a regular position as a guard. Myra DouglashStarted the season as an outstanding guard on the Junior team, but was forced to desert the Juniors for better company, and teams along with the others on the defence. Marion Thomson-Got in the habit of winning games all by herself on this year's Junior team, so the Senior forwards had to move over and include her in their charmed circle.
