Thomson, forward- Thomsey the half-pint sensation of every game he plays in. He has an uncanny shooting eye and is very tricky. NOTE-The above five have just com- pleted three years as a regular K.C.V.I. team, the first two as Juniors and 1932 as Seniors. The school will probably never get another combination to equal it.

Eccles, utility-a first-class ball play- er. SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM A This year they are finding it hard to get enough players to form a hockey- team. Many of the good players are kept frogn playing because of exams, while many oth- ers have graduated. But there are always the few hockey sports who areready to at- tend practices in the early morning in order to see K.C.I. represented in that sport. But Where are the hockey players who are eli- gible to play, yet don't go out to help the team along? K.C.l. and Brockville are the only 2 teams in this section of the league so there wo'n't be many games. The winner of this section plays off with Ottawa for the finals and this is another sport in which we would all like to see K.C.l. bring back the cup. TEAM!

The final whistle blew before any further score was made and Ottawa College were Eastern Qntario Champions. It was a clean, hard-fought game, and a worthy game for any team to win. After the game refreshments were served the teams at the school. Then the K.C.I. team got into their cars and started home.

A SENIOR BASKETBALL Graduating from Junior ranks the 1931 Juniors stepped into the same positions on the 1932 Senior Team, and assisted by three experienced alternates they have a smart team. This year permission was granted to the team to play in the Eastern Ontario Amateur Basketball Association, Junior series. K.C.V.I., although they did not win this league, made a splendid showing, con- sidering the opposition they received. They have played their complete schedule in the E.O.A.B.A. Q6 gamesj, one exhibition game. and two E.Q.S.S.A. games at time of writing. A summary of these games is as fol- lows: Jan. 22-K.C.V.I. 195 R.M.C. 4 In their first game in the new Gym, the squad tied R.M.C. into a half-dozen knots and proceeded to walk away with the game. R.M.C. didn't score a field goal. Simmons was outstanding, although the defensive play of the whole team was first-class. jan. 29-K.C.V.I. 8g Queen's 22 Caught on an off-night K.C.V.l. were easy prey for a systematic Queens attack which swept down the big floor and kept the blue team on the defensive. Feb. 1-K.C.V.I. 7g Y.M.C.A. 14 Playing without Bill Stephen the team failed to organize on the attack and although they outshot the Y their shooting was erratic and six field goals and a pair of free throws were sufficient to give the Y vic- torv. Feb. 11-K.C.V.I. 143 Queen's 15 Queens found the Seniors tougher op- position in their own backyard! But eked out a l point win with a last minute basket. Feb. 17-K.C.V.I. 12g R.M.C. 14 K.C.V.I. met a vastly improved Cadet team and being unable to find the basket took the short end of the score for the hfth consecutive time. Feb. 24-K.C.V.I. 313 Brockville, C.I. 20 This was the first E.0.S.S.A. game and the blue team showed superior basketball knowledge to take an eleven point lead in the return game at Brockville. Feb. 26-K.C.V.I. 153 Brockville, C.I. 33 Playing in Brockville in a game which was more rugby than basketball, the heavier Brockville team took advantage of a lenient referee to charge through to win the round and group honours. It was a disheartening defeat chiefly caused by the incompetency of the referee, because K.C.V.I. had proved that they were the better team in a real basketball game. Mar. 1-K.C.V.I. 19g Y.M.C.A. 23 The team was weakened by the absence of Bill Simmons, although the game was evenly contested all the way. Besides these regular games, pre-sea- son exhibition games were played with Y.M.C.A. Juniors and Queen's Juniors, and a mid-season exhibition game with Y.M.C.A. Intermediates. Malcolm Bews, guard. Captain-A defen- sive marvel and a consistent scorer, Mal. earn- ed his right to the captaincy which he had held for three years. Rudy Ohlke, guard- Oak came out of his defensive area this year and became a scor- ing threat besides showing his usual back- checking ability. Bill Stephen, centre-The pivot man around whom every attack centred. A perfect ball handler and an effective shot. -70-

This year K.C.I. was represented at the Provincial Track Meet for Schoolboys held during the C.N.E. in Toronto by a re- lay team of four boys, G, Davoud, H. Ling- ham, D. Wilder and J. Rowland. They were successful in placing a close second to the Hamilton Delta C.I. squad. This is a credit to the school and We hope more boys will turn out next year and build up a much larger track team. Much of the credit to their success is due to their coach, Mr. D. Macdonald, Whose u-ntiring efforts in coach- ing the team were very greatly appreciated. -72- TRACK MEET r. 100 yds.-Lingham, Davoud, Muir.
