NORMAL SCHOOL Normal coming out second in points. The second series brought a closer score with real spirit and undaunted zeal. Outstanding among the exhibition games were those played against Strathroy — one pair here, and one there. The boys were up against a really swift team, here, and although their persistent work prevented a too-shameful defeat, they lost. We were delighted to have with us as ardent supporters, Mr. and Miss Prendergast. An exciting game of hockey was played at the Arena against Wester- velts, resulting in a tie, 4 ' 4. Nott played goal, Allan, scoring two points with Cress ' combination, and Crumback defence, Shewan, who also scored two, centre, and Cress and Moffat wings. THE BOYS ' BASKETBALL TEAM. Ted Cress, forward, always played a quick and clean game, ever ready to receive a pass, and ever ready to pass it on. Fearlessly, he dodged the enemy guards and tossed the ball in the basket. He developed also an excellent ability to guard, and in a pinch took that role with fine results. Neil Dowding, forward, was swift and sure in his combination and in his shots. He cleverly dribbled the ball around the guards, and with a quick shot as he raced under the basket, scored countless goals. He was as good at basketball as he was at the fiddle. LONDON ONTARIO Doug Crinklaw, centre, was our tallest player, and showed himself a real captain. Alert and active, ready for the jump, and rarely missing it, he was a real star. Quick and clever in combination he was, and played forward and guard with equal success. Shorty Allan, guard, was vigorous and vigilant, sticking tenaciously to his man, and ceaselessly foiling the enemy ' s shots. He had a cute trick of suddenly intercepting a pass intended for his man, and bouncing it down to his own forwards. He was also efficient in the latter position. Red Shewan, guard, was firm and fast, and excellent in combination. He worked successfully with Shorty in preventing the opponents from scoring too often. His quick spurts up the floor with the ball, and his fine shots marked him as a good forward also. Rosie Smith, sub., was strong and husky, whether needed as guard or forward. Jimmy O ' Neil, sub., filled the positions of guard and forward with equal success. Suzy Colgrove, sub., as forward, guard or centre, used arms and legs to the best advantage.
