Although they were de- feated 32-25 it was a closer game than the score indicates. Our girls have nothing to be ashamed of in the form of basketball they played. lVhen Brantford visited Guelph on January 15th the girls got away to a flying start, the score at half-time be- ing 6-0 in their favor. Then B. C. I.. by a dazzling display of combination and perfect shooting. particularly on the part of B. Force, Won the game. But for the shining work on guard duty of Helen Bardwell and Maisie Barr there would have been a lnuch larger score than 35-26. Guelph sustained their next defeat at the hands of Galt on their own floor. Again Guelph led at half-time with a score of S-3. In the second half the Inter-Form The Inter-Form Basketball, al- though only newly introduced to the school. proved a decided success. It stimulated rivalry and the increase in enthusiasm in drill periods was re- markable. These games were carried on chiefly among the girls. This acti- vity not only encouraged school spirit but enabled the teachers to pick out new players, who are badly needed. for next years Senior team. The school was divided into four groups: Junior and Senior Collegiate. and Junior and Senior Commercial. The Junior Collegiate Champions, 2B. defeated the Junior Commercial Champions thus carrying away the team absolutely went to pieces. The defence was not up to its usual form and even Elma Earon, the star for- ward, did not play as well as on other occasions. Guelph next visited Brantford, again to lead at half-time, but to go down to final defeat. Even with the spectacular shooting by Guelph's for- wards and the excellent work of the guards they were overcome in the end by a score of 23-14. The last game was perhaps one of the fastest and closest of the season. Although Kitchener, the visiting team led at half-time 13-8, Guelph's condi- tion told in the last half and the lead was closed up. The game was close until the end when Guelph finished the game two points ahead. The whole team played their best and certainly deserved to w-in. The score was 21-19. Basketball Junior Championship of the school. many of their players showed remark- able promise. Keep it up, 2B, and we'll see some of your players on the Senior team next year. Senior Com- mercial, in defeating Form 4, gained the Senior Championship. As this form had three or four regular inter-schol- astic players on their team, the victory was not such a surprise as it might have been under other circumstances. However. even at that, their success was not overwhelming and the other forms put up a good fight. We hope that the interest shown in this sche- dule has warranted a repetition of it in coming years.
