P SPECULA GALTONIA 63 INTERFORM BASKETBALL ERHAPS the most active of all boys' sports is interform basketball. It is an understood fact that more students participate in this sport than in any other within .the school. The gallery is constantly lined with en- thusiastic supporters who derive much amusement from the games. The laurels for the first formers were captured by the technical form, Tlc, while form 2b finish in front of the second form group. The senior championship was won by form 4b who, as usual, continued into the playoffs to take the Tancock shield, em- blematic of the school championship. Tlc-First Formers-Raynor, Markar, ian, Richardson, Thompson, Panabaker. 2b-Second formers-Cartwright, Roos, Hipel, Hamel, McCurdy, Bond, McDermid. 4b-School Champions-Scott, Rich- mond, Hughes, Thompson, Handorf, Mur- ray, Campbell.

Baird The next activity that is ready for com- peti.tive sport is undoubtedly the Gym. team. Their work in the past years .has been unexcelled by any other organiza- tion within the school. Their various feats on the high bar, rings and trapeze, are anything but comfortable for one with weak nerves. The Physical Exhibition be- comes with each successive year a bigger and better display largely through the work of this team. Tn Mr. Donaldson, the team have an ex- cellent instructor who is well fitted for the Work in hand. At present the team is busy with flyaways and full hawks, two very diflicult movements on the apparatus. The team of this year is captained by Doug. Kemp. Gym.

Boyd, B.A. CCoachJ, J. Dawson QMgr.j INTERSCHOLASTIC BASKETBALL HOUGH unable to compete in senior rugby, the old school succeeded, nev- ertheless in putting a basketball team on the floor. Weakened as in rugby, through the inability of many of the older players to acquire the needed percentage and others who did not condescend to .turn out, the appearance of but one regular of other years caused quite a surprise. The first Wossa game was with Guelph at home and for the first half of the game Galt held 'her own. The latter half, how- ever, saw a reversal of form, on the par.t of the visitors, and with McGilvray scor- ing fifteen points Galt's chances of vic- tory fled. Final score: Guelph 35, Galt 26. With Kitchener our team fought two great battles, both of which fell to the enemy. Nevertheless the G. C. I. fought 'hard and in losing felt no misgivings for the victory of a better team. The last game was played in Guelph and here again we went down to defeat. With Dunc McIntosh the only regular of other years, back in uniform, the team might owe its standing to inexperience. That experience has now been given to them and with the loss of but two players from this year's squad we smilingly look toward a prosperous future. To Mr. Boyd fell ,the task of building a team and the measure of success that they surprisingly attained is credited much to his able coaching. The team:- Centre-Thomson. Forwards-Mclntoshg Dando. Guards-Hodginsg Roelofson. Subs.-Martin, Campbell, Baird, Midg- leyg Kemp.

64 SPECULA GALTONIA TRACK AND FIELD RACK and field is, as yet, in its in- fancy as far as the G. C. I. is con- cerned. Last year we sent our team to London for the second time. The re- sults, although not overwhelming, were, nevertheless, sufficient to warrant the sending of another team this year. In the last meet we had a man in nearly every final heat. Roy Sneath, running in the mile fopenl finished third to give Galt its lone point. Jack Dawson out well in front in the Junior hurdles fell when very near the tape. Our own track and field meet was held under the most favourable of weather con- ditions. Harold Walker Know of Varsityl '69 won the Senior Championship with a scant margin over Prior Philip QRoyal Miltary Collegej. ' The intermediate cup was awarded to Frank MacDonald and the junior to Jack Dawson. .w. .v. 4. .P .,. .,. In summarizing Boys' Athletics it might be truthfully said that the year's work 'has been a success. Perhaps from a viewpoint of material victories this is not so. But real success cannot be counted in victories alone. That which really mat- ters is that the G. C. I. upheld her name of playing the game fairly and squarely. Girls' Sports ' LTHOUGH the Girls' Sports were not entirely successful this year, never- theless there were bright spots. Due to the eforts of the Softball Team, the Ross Cup will remain in the school for another year at least. The Basketball Team was not quite so fortunate. New players were used this season and no doubt the experience gained by them will be apparent next year. Thus we eagerly look forward to a banner year in girls' sports.
