(Betty Machaffif, Form V. Upper.) BASKETBALL Throughout the season much enthusiasm was shown in the games, and the competition for the cup presented by the Very Rev. Dean Coombes was very keen. The Day Girls ' team were the victors last year, but the Boarders are working hard to gain it this season, and at the finish of the Fall basketball season were leading by 3 games to 2. JUNIOR BASKETBALL. The Juniors played many matches, and always turned out in good numbers and with great enthusiasm. When they have learned how to lose good-temperedly, as well as to win, they will provide valuable recruits for the senior teams. Also they should not change places in the team so often, as it spoils combination work. Among the Junior members, the following should be especially mentioned as playing well : Florence Carey and Marjorie Hazelwood, the captains, who have done good work on their teams. Edith Tupper, a good player, but inclined to be rough. Elsie Scrimes, a keen, plucky player. SENIOR BASKETBALL. A meeting was called on Sept. 28th, 1909, to elect officers for the coming year. Gladys Downer and Marguerite Alsip were chosen captains, and Dorothy Allonby appointed secretary. It was decided to play the first game of the season on the same day as the meeting. Sept. 28th, 1909 — The first game of the season resulted in a win for the Day Girls ' team by 8 to 1 goals. Mary Tuck well scored 3 goals and 1 penalty goal for the Day Girls, and Maisie Long- bottom the 1 goal of the Boarders ' score. 53
