Eddy Taylor, although a newcomer, was fast and a dangerous man around the basket. Neil Philip, forward. starred until knee injuries forced him to the bench for the remainder of the schedule. Alec Hill played brilliantly at defence, saving many baskets against Commerce and also scoring the occasional basket.

SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Mr. W. Doidge iCoachl, J. Smith, L. Morton, S. Norman, V. Gibson, H. Swift. W. Holywell, W. Cumming. Senior Baslceteers Show Form THE senior basketball team, coached by Mr. Doidge, was practically the same team that played last year under Mr. Carter's leadership. Three games out of eight were won and the team was greatly improved over last year. Wilson and Morton, forwards, were fast and dangerous around the oppon- ents' baskets. Morton could shoot from centre and put them in without touching the hoop-that's shooting. Gibson, centre, held his own, and being a good jumper gave Commerce the ball from the tip-off many times. Swift and Smith, defence men worked with the smoothness and efficiency of a new car. Their elforts kept the opponents' men from baskets many times. McCann, alternating at forward, and a newcomer to basketball circles, showed that he could take and also give it. He scored consistently. Sixty-two Holywell and Cummings, sub for-A wards, and Norman, alternate guard, assisted the team by giving the re-A gulars well-earned rests. This year proved to be Commerce's best in basketball, but keep your eyes. open next year for good results are expected.
