SENIOR BASKETBALL South vs. Grads Lcd by Henry Skinner and Mike Halliday, the South Seniors fought from behind to overtake a good team made up of former South students. It was the hardest fought pre-schedule game played by the Seniors. It ended in a story-book finish. Chuck Dalton, star centre for South, was given a free shot. The score at this point was tie 35 35. Dalton's shot was good, putting South in the lead by one point. Dalton then fouled Leth- bridge, giving him a shot which he failed to put in. The hard-fought game was over with South winning by one point. South vs. St. Thomas Tech. The Seniors started their 1946 XYOSSA season with an easy win over the St. Thomas Tech. Seniors.

Dalton was high scorer with 17 points. Skin- ner trailed with 11. McAffer played a good game for the opponents. South vs. St. Thomas C. I. South had no trouble in taking the St. Thomas C. l. either. The absence of Charlie Dalton, star player for the Seniors, seemed to have no effect on the smooth work of the team. Skinner led his team-mates in an all-out of- fensive which gave them the lead at half time 20-13. The last half was also in their favour from the start to finish. The final score was 42-29. Skinner was high scorer for South with 17 points. South vs. Beck C. I. The illness which had kept Charlie Dalton out of the previous game with St. Thomas C. I. had no effect on his ability to lead the squad in a basket-getting offensive in this, their third scheduled game. They outplayed the Beck boys in all helds. At the end of the first half the score was in favour of South 27-13. They had little trouble in the final half of the game and at its close the score read 56-23. Dalton added 20 points to his record, Skinner getting 14 for himself.

South led at the end of the half 16-123 at this point it had the makings of being a very close game. However, during the third quarter, South's shooting and passing were very poor.
