This, however, would not wipe out their deficit, and the locals again emerged triumphant. The team now enjoyed a well-earn- ed rest of one week before entering the finals for the VV.O.S.S.A. champion- ship against Walkerville. It will be remembered that last year it was Wind- sor that put the damper on our champ- ionship aspirations, and it seems that nothing but the very best of teams come from that district. They proved to be the jinx again this year, but not until the local five had written their names in the annals by playing as they had never played before. The fiI'SlL game was played in Guelph, and the G. C.-V. I. boys acquitted themselves admirably when they defeated the machine-like playing of the mighty team from the Border Cities. It seemed that the championship was al-most within their grasp, and the boys were het up and raring to go. They went but it seems that the long trip was too much and their shooting suf- fered in consequence. The score was 29-13, but it doesn't give a fair indica- tion of the play because the boys fought -hard all the time-they gave way to a bet-ter steam and in defeat displayed their sportsmanship when they were the first to congratulate the winners. The team was a great success in every respect, and the school is sin- cerely proud of the splendid showing made by their representatives.
