PLAYOFFS GUELPH AT PAULINE JOHNSON Although the Gaels outscored the P.J. team 14-10 in the second quarter and 10-9 in the final, they dropped the game 49-42. P.J. hopped into a 14-12 lead in the first and 16-6 in the third. Brian Ruddy potted 10 points while Al Fox and Art Birk. with 7 and 8 respectively, followed. THE JUNIOR BASKETBALL LINEUP TOM ANDERSON A Andy was always looking into the stands to try to find his girl friends but in between he managed to hoop a few points. ART BIRK-Long, tall Louie was always under the basket rebounding and shooting. Everyone will remember the grin on Art's face when he sank two foul shots in a row. LARRY COHEN-Larry was one of the hard-working guards who lugged the ball up the floor. Larry didn't score too often, but when he did he was spectacular. JOHN EADIE-John didn't even bother to go into his opponents' half of the floor to score. He just set his sights and let go. JIM FARLEY-Jim and Al Fox often for- got that they weren't playing football. but Jim made it interesting when he took the ball up court with Tom Anderson shouting Dive! Dive! AL FOX-Al really summed up the season when at half time in the last game he pant- ed, I'm all tired out from all this rumming about! I mean running about! BROCK GRANT-Brock was the other cloud-breather on the team besides Art. Brock polished himself up and was coming along quite nicely at the end of the season. BRUCE MCINTOSH-If you were quietly shooting in practice and something knocked the ball out of your hand, would you look into the face of a gremlin or goblin? No, you would look into Bruce's laughing eyes. JOHN ROGERS-Buddy always was Mr. McFadden's prime example of how not to pass. However, despite difficulties like this. Buddy made many of his passes and quite a few of his shots. MURRAY ROSS-Murray never seemed to miss shooting all the impossible shots and he never seemed to miss sinking them. BRIAN RUDDYfBrian was our captain and most consistent player. Brian never . . ACTA NOSTRA I09 seemed to stop moving or shouting encour- agement to the other fellows. EDWARD WOODS - Ted was a real smoothie and the only way you could check him in practice was to talk about girls-any girls. Besides this, Ted always scored bas- kets. MR. MCFADDEN-Coach was always tak- ing the ball and making an impossible shot tlike a hook shot under the legi, And of course he always got ribbed when he failed to make it. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL GRADE IX In Grade IX basketball IXGH emerged champs with IXEF as runners-up.

There were so many curlers that it was necessary to have a Junior Division and a Senior Division. Grades IX and X formed the Junior Divi- sion and grades XI, XII. and XIII formed the Senior Division. The Junior played for the Leads and Seconds crest and the Seniors played for the Skips and Thirds crests. After a winner was declared in each division, a play-off was held between the two winners to determine who would win the Kennedy Cup. which goes to the top Intramural rink in the school each year. In the Senior Division, after a schedule
