VOX LYCEI 75 Senior Intersclzolastic Basketball The lnterscholastic Basketball League this season was composed of teams from the Glebe and Lisgar Collegiates. The series of two games was plaved in the early days of March, judging by the large crowd which attended both games, more interest was taken in the leagues games than has hitherto been the case. Qnly after a hard and gruelling struggle did the Lisgar boys concede vic- tory to the Glebe team. The Lisgar team consisted of Gordon Henderson, Swede Bertrand, Johnny Edwards. Bud Fisher, Hugh XYay, Ralph black, Harry Grundy, Bob Laughton, Lenny Brown, and Hank Smyth. H. 'XX ., X th. , funior lntersclzolastic Basketball This year Lisgar, unfortunately, was unsuccessful in defending' its 'lunior E. O. S. S. A. Basketball title. However, we have nothing to be ashamed of, as Mr. Drulard was forced to place on the floor a new and inexperienced team, all of last year's champions being advanced to senior ranks. In spite of the fact that Glebe had a heavier and more experienced team, Lisgar put up a line game. It was not until the last minute or so that Glebe was certain of winning. The members of the Lisgar team were :- Corrigan, Laughton, Macdonald, the Zellies', Hector and Horatius Ben- wick, Kuntz, Checkland and Garton. D. J. D.-IVD. funior Basketball- City League Considering the lack of interest among the senior boys, and the line teams which competed in the City League, Lisgar did very well in junior Basketball this year. At the first of the season it was seen that the teams representing Britannias and Princess Louise Dragoon Guards would finish far ahead of the others, and an interesting struggle took place between the remaining three teams. Close games with Glebe and Diamonds were played, and at the time of this writing, Glebe is in third place with Lisgar fourth and Diamonds last. Although outclassed by Brits and P.L.D.G., the boys were found fighting in every game, and gave a good account of themselves. Those representing Lisgar were :- Forwards: Grundy, Clauson, Carroll, Baird, Daze and Fisher. 1 Guards: VV:-ly, Laughton, Rourke, MacManus and Barber. R. F. IVB.

gg vox LYCEI -N 7Z fuvenile Basketball Une of l.isgar's last hopes for a basketball championship this year falls on the shoulders of the Lisgar juveniles. Mr. Drulard has turned out one of the best teams that has represented the school in the last five years. At the time of writing, they have succeeded in gaining a play-off position in their league. and, for their opponents, they will have no other than their old rivals, the Glebe. The Lisgar 'luveniles are built up around their scoring ace, Henri Bertrand. Swede , as he is known around the corridors of the O. C. I., is rated as one of the best centre players that has ever performed in this district. His Hoor play is the feature of every Juvenile game, and his pivoting, dribbling and pass- ing are unexcelled. The forwards are -lohn Edwards, Ralph .lack and Leonard Brown. Johnnie and Ralph are about the two hardest workers on the team, and in Lennie Brown they have an able aid. The backbone of the defence is tiorilie Henderson, whose generalship has been like tonic to his team-mates. XYhen the crisis of a game arises, it is generally Gordie who starts the team on their rally to victory. He is ably assisted on defence by Dune Davidson and Charles Hank Smyth. Hank , although lacking in poundage, makes up for it by his aggressive and steady style of play. :Xlthough Dune is not so fast as the other defencemen, his blocking and shooting are usually a menace to the opposing team. C. B. T. M., IIIB. flfliclget Basketball This year two midget teams were formed, the Midget Pls and the Mid- get Ones The HA team was outclassed in the league due to inexperienceg however they tried hard at all times. For this team S. Kydd played centre, supported on the wings by H, Ritchie, H. Kuntz, C. Donaldson and F. Corrigan. The guard duties were shared between H. Garton, E. MacDonald and Murray. The Une team fared better, finishing third in the league and only losing a playoff berth to Glebe in the last game. R. Benwick, and bl. Horwitz played centre with I. Zelikovitz, bl. Zelikovitz, j. Lewis and I. Cornblat on the wings. D. Molot, D. Benwick, M, Abramson and A. Katz played guard. F. CorriganfIVB. Bantam Basketball The Bantam League this season was a good one. A new member, the High School of Commerce, was added to its ranks. The call for aspirants for Lisgar's 1930 Bantam team brought out many new players, and consequently, their somewhat faulty showing may be attributed to their youth and lack. of experience. Nevertheless, they deserve due credit for trying to the last whistle. Indeed, Mr. Drulard was well satisfied with their play. The personnel of the team was as follows :- Forwards :-Caven fqcaptainj, Checkland, Mcllfeekin, Lieif. Cohen and Wliseman. Guards :-McMorran. Leikin, McDougal and Schieman. G. D. IIB.
