78 EASTERN ECHO a small team as Commerce and -the score, 10 to 2, reveals the game iight that the team from the East put up. Stevenson, although severely hurt, put up his usual good game. Fidler kicked splendidly, and the 5-2 score at half-time reveals again a grand fight. 125-LB. RUGBY A Mr. Carson had to build a team around three of last years' players, W. Bailey, Richardson and Norman. How well he did this is shown by the fact that the team came second in its group. Cottam snapped to Bailey, who played quarter. Ayers and Rogers were insides and Moore and Tomlinson played middle. Roe, VVilliamson and Meader were effective outsides. Norman played dying wing. The halves were Reynolds, Philip and Richardson. The alternates were Cooper, Lucas, Shea and Carphin. In their tirst game against Central Commerce, Eastern gained an early S point lead, which was lost shortly after half-time. A desperate light by Commerce resulted in their holding the Central team to a 12-8 score. On a muddy field, Commerce defeated VVestern Tech 9-l. The con- dition of the field hampered play but Commerce gave a convincing display. The game was a good exhibition of rugby. Against Danforth Tech the team did not play so well. It rained during the whole game and Tech's larger team proved to be the better in this kind of work. It was a hard game to lose for it put us out of the contention. The score was 5-2. A 23-5 win over Northern Vocational showed the ru0 y ability of our team. Long runs by Richardson, Bailey and Norman f tured this game. Roe played well, scoring a touch by grabbing a loose a . We hope for a championship next year. ' SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM C. Vye, H. Swift, M. Finbow, F. Menard, W. Bailey, V. Gibson, C. Wilson, J. Smith. Absent-L. Morton, Mr. Carter CCoachJ.

The junior team were the smallest in the league but made up for their size hy a grim determination. The seniors were also a small team but they did not lack in playing ahility. ' SENIOR BASKETBALL The senior haslqethall team was coached hy Mr. Carter. .Xlthough it was his first season he turned out a team that was worthy to hear the name of Eastern Commerce. Gibson was the centre, Morton and XY. liailey the forwards and Smith and Skinner Yye the guards. XN'ilson, Swift, Menard and Finbow were the alternates. The hard luck experienced hy our team was talked Of all over the School. lt was rarely that they were defeated by a decisive margin. Danforth Tech-In the lirst game played against Danforth the location of the gym proved to he a large factor in deciding the winner. For the first part of the game the two teams were evenly matched hut gradually Danforth forged ahead until they were declared victors with the score 37-lo. The return game at Commerce was the most exciting ever played on a Commerce rloor. First one team would he ahead, then the other. just after half-time, Commerce gained a point lead hut the determined efforts of the Tech tive gave them a one point lead which they held until the whistle blew. The score-25-24. North Toronto-In this. the lirst Commerce home game. the seniors displayed a fine hrand of haslqethall and were never headed. Their combination was sparkling, the shooting was gmail and the all-round work of the team gave them a 42-29 victory. In the return game at North Toronto the Commerce team could do nothing right and North Toronto seemed lu have the proverliial hlanlvet over them. The game seemed to he just the reverse ol' the tirst game that Home S l JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM n . K P ' ' lg J, M ll y, S. Norman, J. Williamson, N. Chalykoff, N.
