THE REVIEW 75 Hockey Squad Enjoys Continued from preceding page extra weight and extra practices began to tell and the game ended with the close score of two to one in favour of Tech. The final game for the Seniors in the City Championship was played on Feb. 1 with South. This second game was a very much closer one than first as South was out to redeem herself and it was just a touch and go at times as to who would carry off the honours. When the bell rang full time, however, the Central team was the winner by one goal, the score being two to one. In spite of Central's victories over South the Championship was handed on a platter to Tech. The Seniors spent the remain- der of the season in matching their prowess against Strathroy, which although a rough and ready game was thoroughly en- joyed by all, resulting in the tie score of six all, and Woodstock, which game the Central squad won by a score of three to one. Altogether the season was a very successful one, champion- ship or not, because every game was a pleasure as far as the mem- bers of the team were concerned. The junior aggregation went into battle on Jan. 16 to meet Tech and started the season with a bang by winning the game three to two. Their next game, however, with South on Jan. 23rd resulted in a victory for our Southern friends by a score of three to one. This seemed to discourage our boys a bit because on jan. 25 when they met Tech for the second time the tables were turned and Tech Won by a score of four to two. On Feb. lst our squad met South for the second time, de- termined to win, and it certainly looked as though they were go- ing to do so. However, South put up a desperate light and managed to hold the score down to two-all.: In the juniors Tech was also successful in obtaining the City Championship. An exhibition game was play- ed with lngersoll by our juniors who piled up a score of five to Ingersoll's two. The last game of the season was a mighty com- bat between the Central Seniors and Central juniors held the night of the school skating party. . 1 The junior nets were well defended by George Miller and Chink McCallum.

S. lnter-form Basketball Cup Presented to Thilgear Held First Placeg Large Crowds Attend Their Games This year, on account of the lack of originality, the inter- form basketball teams adopted the same method as last year, that of naming their team after famous colleges or universities. First year, according to cus- tom, did some mighty queer things, but that's what the audience likes, so as a result they had grand turn-outs. Queen's crowned the season by heading the list with nine points to the good. Second year, a little more mature, but nevertheless still childish enough to draw the iiies, presented an extremely high grade of basketball. This time the Dalhousie team ranked first by seventeen points. Third year was q u i t e sophisticated: however, as they were really fine players, their sophistication was over-looked and the largest crowds came to see them play. Third year was lucky in having quite a few of the W. O. S. S. A. players on its team. McMaster's team topped the list by the narrow margin of three points. In the play-off, third year successfully held Hrst place and was presented with the inter- form basketball cup. The presentation was made in auditorium by Helen Hender- son, president of the G. A. A. The cup was received by Marion McNaughton, captain of the victorious team. Much Enthusiasm ls Shown-Crowds At Gym Teams Appreciate Support Do you remember when sup- porters became so enthusiastic at a game that they carried the hero off the field on their shoulders? We hardly expect that, but we certainly do ap- preciate your support. Last winter the students turn- ed out splendidly to witness the girls' basketball games. It was great! The girls felt as though someone was taking an interest in whether they won or not and thus played much better bas- ketball. Maybe the game didn't turn out the way you wanted, but there is one thing, you can't help saying it was well worth watching. This year the games are going to be even better, as the girls have now been initiated into having a crowded gym. And besides, they have had just one more year's experience. Heir! The girls wish to thank one and all for the full houses last year.

74 THE REVIEW Hello, folks! A new column for our sport section, with brief comments about our Girls' Athletic Work and about some of our outstanding athletes. Hope you all lilie ii. The year 1933-34 was a great year for the girls' basketball teams. Although not always on the high end of the score, Central made some fine showings against their opponents, thanks to the capable coaching of Miss Hen- derson and Miss Armstrong. Ik 41 Pk Has anyone else ever noticed that when the gym is well filled with supporters, Central almost always comes out on top? Per- haps this has some significance. An enthusiastic crowd makes an enthusiastic awinkneil Deck tennis is a new game at school and its popularity is rapidly increasing. To the girls who haven't tried it: Come out and test youar sliilllzk Badminton proved to be popu- lar last winter, with several girls entering the tournament. Lor- raine Rolfe was the winner and Marion Bees, the runner-up. 12 31 lk Do you recall the time when Central had a girls' baseball team? Not a bad one, either. Some of us think there are girls in the school, quite capable of batting the baseball a fair dis- tance, who would jump at the chance to play on a team. What do you thinli? at ik Basketball prospects for the coming year look exceptionally L.C.C.I. MODEL AEROPLANE CLUB For the benefit of those stu- dents, who have stood gazing in wonder, at the excellent re- plicas of modern aeroplanes, on display in the lobby of the library, and have wondered where they came from, we wish to announce the formation of the L. C. C. I. Model Aeroplane Club. Although the club is not yet very old, rapid progress is being made under its super- visor, Mr. Maddeford, and its president, Bruce McColl. A great deal is expected of it dur- ing the coming year. The officers of the Model Aeroplane Club are as follows: President-Bruce McColl. Vice-President - Don Mc- Lennan. Secretary-F red Hammerton. Treasurer-Stuart Spofford. -F. Hammerton, Sec. bright. With such outstanding stars as Jean McNally, Poppy Nevin and Marion McNaughton available, the senior team should do well. Come on, Central, Up and At 'Emi ik sk Pk Another suggestion! Why not a track and field day for the girls? The boys have such a day annually. Is it because the girls can't take it.

Both Seniors and Juniors Play a Fast Game The hockey season of 1933-34 was entered upon with much more enthusiasm, on the part of the school than it had been in previous years. This was due, perhaps, to the fact that both our senior and junior teams appeared to be of championship calibre. The Senior squad fought its battles with the dimunitive, but dynamic Bill Jay as anchor man and the way he held the nets down against all onslaughts and the way in which he encouraged the other members of the team certainly justified his election as captain. jim Doherty and Larry Griffin made up a hefty defence barrier as those who came against them learned to their dismay. The front line was composed of those three speedy gentlemen of Central, Jim Bell, Keith McNaughton and Gordon Lever. Their lone rushes and combination plays were certainly of an effective nature at all times. The Big Six were ably assisted by the alternate forward line consist- ing of go-hard Tom Hardy, as centre, assisted by the Flying Bishop Chuck Seager and our Travelling Salesman, Mel Stone, on the wings. Russ Chubb, as the never failing de- fense man, was always the cen- tre of attraction by his ready wit and good humour under all circumstances. The W. O. S. S. A. schedule opened up on Tuesday, Jan. 16, when our Central Seniors played their first game with Tech. The game was watched by a large crowd of both Central and Tech supporters and their dime was well spent for there wasn't a slow second during the whole game. Both teams were very evenly matched as the resulting score of three-all proved. The Seniors' next battle took place the following Tuesday, Jan. 23, when they met their greatest rival, South. That enthusiasm ran high in both schools was evident by the number of sup- porters for both teams present and by the friendly display of rivalry between them. Central's squad proved to be definitely superior to South's and as a score of four to nothing, in favor of Central, piled up hopes ran high for obtainin the City Championship for Central. On Thursday, jan. 25, the crucial game with Tech took place. All the Centralites seemed con- fident of victory. However,

Daring Feats Accom- plished blg-ym. Team As the last strains from the orchestra floated out of the auditorium and faded away down the halls, the house lights flickered, and went out. The cur- tains parted, and the show was on! Commencing with an unique assortment of pyramids, the team started the programme whizzing in true Central style. Following this display of co- operative team-work, the boys presented some tumbling work, in pairs. In this section, the Two Man Show of Don Edy and Jack Quick deserves special mention. After this was over, difhcult feats were performed on the parallel bars. Then came the tumbling and springboard work, the latter proving to be one of the biggest attractions of the whole show, as the Central artists flipped and rolled about in the air. And then came the Grand Finale-the spectacular stunts on the high-bar. A hush crept over the audience, broken only by the frequent spasms of ap- preciative applause, as the gym- nasts swung about the bar in rhythmic circles. As the final notes of God Save the King lost themselves amongst the empty spaces of the school, the audience filed out of the auditorium and went home with a feeling of having spent one of the most interest- ing and enjoyable evenings since the Gymkhana two years ago.

I 5 ,ff- Kal 'GIRLS' SENIOR TEAM orr TO A cz-ooo START Last season was a very thrill- ing one in so far as Senior Bas- ketball was concerned. The four competing schools were Beck, South, Central and Tech. The games were exciting and were like well-fought battles among equally well-trained warriors. One of the most exciting games was that between South and Central which was played at Central when the score was tied 16-16. Everyone was tense, and excited all through the game. Although Central did not lead the series, the girls throughout the whole season showed a good spirit and fine sportsmanship, and, after all,that's what counts. We heartily congratulate the girls of the team and their coach, Miss Henderson, on their excellent showing. The line-up was as follows:- stan, Dorothy Elliott and Chris- tine Bell. Best of luck to this year's team! and with the same good coach and the same enthusiasm and good sportsmanship they're off to a good start. Basketball is a game which everyone should play. It is a game which demands the utmost skill and precision. It is a game of no Contact-you may not touch another player. It calls for a true eye, a steady hand, and much endurance. Few people who have not played the game realize the speed and stamina it demands. The most important factor in basketball is team-play. It re- quires perfect cooperation to play this game. It develops in one the ability and willingness to work with others towards a SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Front Row- Miss Henderson, Jean Paterson, Joyce Murfin, Christine Bgll Dorothy Elliott, Margaret Houghton.
