This year South proved to have a very excellent team but they were finally ousted. Every player in the team gave a standout performance, being very ably coached by Mr. Beattie. Our thanks are also extended to Mr. Cranfield who gave up his free time to teach the boys a few tricks he picked up at college. The South juniors also gave a good account of themselves by ending up on top of the junior schedule. BASKETBALL Here again we are nothing to be sneezed at. The highly-rated Central Senior squad suffered one defeat in the city VV.O.S.S.A. play-offs, and that was to none other than our own Seniors. All this goes to prove that we have one of the top high school senior squads in the Province. The South juniors have really burned a trail of victories that will be remembered for a long time. They have played through their scheduled games without a loss and have gone on to win the VV.O.S.S.A. semi-fmals and finals in an un- forgettable series. Each player has given a splen- did account of himself. Mr. Allin has trained the boys thoroughly and both he and the team are to be highly congratulated on the signal honour of bringing the first W.O.S.S.A. Basket- ball Championship to South. ln the coming spring term it is hoped that we will have a good entry in the W.O.S.S.A. track meet and bring home a few honours. It is also hoped the inter-school baseball series will be continued again. A Senior and junior Boys' Tennis Tournament is planned for the near fu ture. A --BILL W1NsLow. South wins in opening grid game. Bert Beattie-'s Klaroons showing su1'cz'ior tim- ing and blocking, set back the tiexitral Golden Ghosts to the tune of 18-1. C'entral's only count was made on the last play after seven tries for a touchdown. The first touchdown of the game proved to be the smartest play of the night. Burgess walked through the Ghosts with little effort on a rex erse. Halliday's kicking, plus Burgess' running, prox ed a winning combination for South. Dalton. Skin- ner and hlcliegney also proved to be good for the winners. Beck vs. South Halliday scores all points as Klaroons take lead with 8-4 win over Beck. Beck Green XYaves made a desperate bid for victory in the first game when Astles booted four long drives. South Maroons kept the eight point lead they set up in the first half. but the threatening Green VVaves hitting hard on the line stopped them for the last half, allowing them over the centre line only twice. South's line saved the day, time and time again. South vs. Tech South Maroons smash their way to a shutout victory at Labatt Park. The lvlaroons, showing superior passing and blocking, downed the Tech Raiders 25--0. Halliday's fine running and bullet passes proved to be the Raiders' downfall. Dalton also did some excellent running. Morton and Mc- Kegney who each scored a touchdown, were standouts for the Maroons. VVinslow also played a headsup game for the Maroons. South vs. Central South again triumphs in School Grid game. After scoring a second quarter single, South managed to hold Central scoreless to win by 1e0. Continued on Page 73 39
