GIRLS' BASKETBALL tContinued on Page 3-I! Hn the other hand. the Senior team, which toiled and struggled. found it difficult to win. Nevertheless, they came through with the flying Colours which only true sportswomen wear. .Xt each defeat they would grin and say. Iletter luck next time, Normal! Hut it was more than luck which gave them a victory over Ilundas with a score of 5-I-130: and it was not good fortune alone which defeated MacDonald Ilall. but rather good spirit, hope and real playing! Gibbie Gibson, with her long legs and arms. was certainly an asset In the Senior team, and no one could keep track of little Kay Knoll who displayed remarkable speed dodging in and out of players at every game. Ilert Cumming rose from a small town player to a shining defence, while I'inkey I'inkney, Rosie Smith and BIadie 'llighe were the ideal Inter- mediate guards. Possibly' the most exciting event of the season was the game with the Grads. For many long weeks. a combination of Seniors and Intermediates. egged on by encouraging remarks from Mr. Lockett. practised and prac- tised for the great day when the old Normal students would meet the new. .Xt last the exciting day dawned. The benches at Zion were crowded with fair rooters. who waved aloft the gold and green and constantly sang nf esprit de corps . 'Ilhe first half of the game was pleasing to the Normal- ites of 'Zhi since they were leading with the score lo-li: but in the second half. the aged Grads rallied and steadily gained on our youthful players. Iflow- ever the 'LHS held the lead, and won the battle with a score of 21-21. .Xs a wind up for the year, the Senior team challenged the Intermediates In a i'fiil'lll'IQ'C Game . .Xlthough the Seniors captured the first game, the Intermediates still maintained that they were worthy of defeating the Sen- iors. So. with Klr. I.ockett refereeing from the sidelines, Normal saw the Intermediates go down to defeat a second time. Nevertheless, we offer our congratulations to the Intermediates for winning the shield. They are champions, every one of them, and well deserve the honour! Congratulations are also due to our esteemed coach, Klr, II. G. Lock- ett. and to his assistant, Klr. G. Neff. 'Ilhey worked hard in training the girls and they did get results. May Hamilton Normal School ever be as proud of the girls of the green and gold as we have been of the teams of '23Ii. E. .IQJYCE J.xcQUEs. GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL Ilespite the fact that organization was quite late. the girls' volleyball team came through the season with flying colours. 'llhe two principal games were those with London Normal School and Stratford Normal. In both cases. the green and gold was triumphant. It was under the capable direction of Klr. Ilurns that the team worked in clever co-operation and good fellowship. Ifach form was represented in the volleyball team. Forms I, III and IX' contributed two players each. while Form II, which evidently believes i11 quality, not quantity produced the captain-Nluriel Hunter. llorothv .Xnios and XYvnne .Xnderson remained true to Form I's motto: x'enimus, vidimus, vicimus . tlievicw your Latin for that onel. Maisie NIeCalla and Stella I'arcl1elo had the honour of representing Form III and indeed their performances were abnormal . Form IV's contribution- Rlarjorie 'Ilufts and Iloininica Rotari--certainly brought credit to their onedrz-ful form, and, when you combine and view as aiwhole, this arrav of athletic ability. you have 'I'IIIf reason for their undefeated record.

BATS AND BALLS Due to unseasonahle weather and the large nnmher of school activities, the hasehall season came in late and went out with a rush. XYe were glad to have the help of Mr, llurns and Mr. Vartriclge in our practices. .-Xmongst the girls, much fine material was hrought to the fore hy inter- form games in which Forms l and ll topped the list. llot .Xmos and Lil l'inkey pitched hrisk hall while Betty Cunningliani and Marg. Taylor served hehind the hat. Form 5, suffering from a minimum of practice, went down in three suc- cessive games. two with Technical, and one with Commerce. lrlard knocks had rewards, however, for we finally caught Tech, napping to the score of 7--l, the latter victory heing due to XYood's superh pitching. These petty preliminaries over, the teams set out for Guelph and new foes to conquer on May 29. .-Xhout I3.l5, after an excellent dinner replete with vitamins,-the players took the held: llamilton girls versus Stratford and our dear hoysn versus Toronto. Dot .-Xmos and Marg. Taylor, George NYood and Alex. Strachan were the hatteries for the first games. To make the stories of swift yet cautious games shorter, lflamilton teams finished with the palm in hoth. lrlome-runs hatted hy heavy leaguersf' D. Amos and M. Tighe, gave added thrills to the girls' game. The final score was lfl-N in favour of Hamilton. After big Boh l'etrie let fly his hat against R. Cowley's shinhone and XYood took to the air several times, the hoys took Strachan's advice to buckle down , and came through with three runs more than Toronto. fffontinued on Page 512 BOYS' BASEBALL G.
