Havergal College Magazine Feb. 9th, United Colleges v. Havergal, 36-7. Our first defeat and a very thorough one. Our girls never got over the awkward local conditions of the hall, and did not play with either spirit or confidence. Feb. 12th, Kelvin v. Havergal, 16-14. Although a defeat, this game was so well contested that it proved a most enjoyable one, the winning goal was shot just on the whistle for time. Feb. 16th, St. John ' s Technical v. Havergal, lost. Feb. 23rd, St. John ' s Technical v. Havergal, lost. Feb. 26th, United Colleges v. Havergal, 15-14. This was the most exciting match of the series, and the Havergal team, though defeated by the narrow margin of one goal, played very well indeed, keeping up a strong defence and a persistent attack till the whistle blew, and that against a much heavier team. We had the pleasure of entertaining our visitors after the match, and discussed the match over a friendly cup of tea, and commiserated over the wounded. For things like this you know must be After a famous victory. DAY GIRLS v. BOARDERS.

Havergal College Magazine but good player as she is, I doubt if even her presence would have stayed the victorious onrush of the Past. Afterwards the two teams united amicably over tea and cake and discussed the victory. Oct. 10th, Past v. Present, 18-10. Oct. 21st, Present v. Intermediates, 27-3. Encouraged by the victories of the Old Girls, Florence Carey brought over i team of more recent Havergalians. Though these girls played a very plucky game, yet they were defeated by superior combin- ation of the Present Havergal team. Line up : — Present. Intermediates. Marian Sweeny Forwards Florence Carey Jean Bell Kathlyn Hinton Mary Watson Centres Marian Bell Christina Lyall Irma Martin Thelma Duncan Guards Grace McGaw Laura Agnew Norma Boynton Oct. 24th. As the Day Girls ' team was so much stronger than the Boarders ' contingent, owing in a great measure to their having greater numbers from which to choose, it was de- cided to divide all players into two teams called A and B, and captained by Marian Sweeny and Thelma Duncan respec- tively. The first match ended in a victory for the A team by 18 goals to 9. Nov. 4, A Team v. B Team, 16-7. INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKET-BALL. We were very glad to join this league and thoroughly en- joyed the games. Havergal was represented by the following team, who very ably kept our flag flying. We must commend these girls for their good combination and loyal play in several matches besides those that they won, and no doubt the experi- ence of playing teams heavier than themselves will be valuable to them in playing the same league next year. Havergal Senior Team : — Thelma Duncan (captain) Guards Laura Agnew Mary Watson Centres Josephine Anderson Jean Bell Forwards Marian Sweeny Mildred Thompson Substitutes Nellie Snowden Jan. 26th, 1914, Havergal v. Kelvin, 11-1. Feb. 2nd, Havergal v. St. John ' s College, 29-4. Marian Sweeny and ean Bell gave us some spectacular throwing in, while the other girls all worked well in their res- pective places. Feb. 5th, Havergal v. St. John ' s College, 31-9. This match was played away, but when our girls got used to the hall they began to enjoy themselves. 66
