M. H. S. REVIEW Page Forty:One first half the score was 9-11 for Midland. In the second half the M.H.S. basketeers used their own ball lwhich seemed almost to act intelligently, and along with the steady going of the players, soon wearied the Barrie boys, although they were taller and heavier, and somewhat inclined to rough it with the northern visitors, our boys were out to play basketball and again came out on top with a score of 27-16. Grise was the strong man of this game getting 16 of Midland's points. Jory, Fair, Gray and Mac- Lennan also figured in the score, while Ralph played his usual game of basketball. MIDLAND VS. ORILLIA On Feb. 3rd, the M.H.S. basketball team invaded 0rillia's territory. The game started at 7 p.m. with Gray, Fair, Grise, MacLennan and Ralph in the line-up for Midland. 'Ihe Orillia players lined up against their opponents grim and determined to get revenge for the drubbing they re- ceived in Midland, but alas ! the Old Gold, Blue and White defenders were not to be denied and by their dashing team play, soon showed the Orillia boys that they were out to win. The first half ended with Midland High School leading by a small margin. In the second half Midland's sharp- shooters began to get the range and Gray and Ralph by the end of the game had both made ten points. MacLennan also got two very spec- tacular basketsg luck was against Grise who only managed to get five points, Gregoire added one for his team, and Fred Bell who was playing guard for the M.H.S. team, although he did not get a basket, turned in a very good game. Fair, who had been relieved by Bell, has won fame as a basketball guard. John Jory and Lowes, two of the subs, are reliable playersg the former plays the position of basket and can always be count- ed on giving his bestg Lowes also is a good, steady player and always causes his opponent a great deal of inconvenience. Gregorie is another substitute who has won fame as a basketball player and he sticks to his opponent like glue, always being where needed the most. The score ended with Midland 30 and Orillia 18. BARRIE VS. MIDLAND On February the 17th, the Barrie juniors invaded Midland for their return game with the M.H.S. The Barrie boys were sure of victory but by the end of the game they were quite ready to be handed the good ol' lemon. Nevertheless the game showed lots of real good basketball, plenty of combination on both sides and accurate shoooting. Midland appeared to have the edge in shooting and when the final whistle blew the M.H.S. were again on top of a 23 to 11 score. Gray scored the majority of Mid- land's points, 1-1 in all. MacLennan on the forward line had no luck and had to be content with scoring a goose egg, however, Don was right there with the goods. Fair played a real good game at guard and not many plays got by him. Grise and Ralph played their usual fast game but Bar- rie seemed to pay strict attention to both of them and as a result were checked very closely, however, each scored fi points. All of the spares played well and when any of them were called upon, they did justice to the M.H.S. The basketball team produced by Midland is the only Junior of the three towns which is composed solely of High School or Collegiate Students. MIDLAND VS. SHELBURNE On Friday, March 9th, the M. H. S. journeyed to Shelburne to play the High School Team of that town. The game produced some high class basketball with the M. H. S. leading the way. The game ended with Midland on the long end of a 33 to 20 score.

M. H. S. REVIEW Page Forty-Three HOCKEY The Hockey fans of Midland High School met at the beginning of the new year to elect their 1928 hockey executive with the following results : President-Henry Boyer. Vice-President-Meb. Ralph. Secretary-Treasurer-Burwell Hunter 1Manager.j MIDLAND VS. ORILLIA Under Hunter's management a well-balanced hockey team was round- ed into shape, and on February 4th, they invaded Orillia's domain. The game called for 10 o'clock, started at 10:30, in which Orillia introduced a new brand of hockey in which, get your man seemed to be the main feature. The game was a very poor brand of the winter sport, and the Midland boys, being smaller and lighter could not rough it with their heavier opponents, with O.H.A. experience, as they represented the Orillia O.H..51.. Junior team, and so the game ended 3-0 for Orillia. On the Midland team Ralph, Hill, and Silverthorne played a snappy game, while Tremblay and DeFinney proved to be almost impregnable. Jory, in the net played his usual good game, for the M.H.S. speedsters and the subs MacLennan and Wallace, also looked good when on the ice. PENETANG HIGH SCHOOL VS. MIDLAND HIGH SCHOOL On February 7th, the Penetang High School hockey team journeyed to Midland to test their mettle with the Midland High School Hickory Wizards. The game started in a drizzling rain, which before the end of the game slowed the speedsters up somewhat, because of the heavy go- ing but the game did not lack thrills, nor did it slow up the Penetang Maroons enough to stop them from testing their lumber on their op- ponents' shins. The Penetang players produced a good game of hockey, and made it interesting until about the last fifteen minutes, when the pace began to tell on them, and they began to play open. Hill took advantage of the pause and slipped the puck by the Penetang net-guardian, not satisfied with himself, he soon followed with a duplicate. Bill King looking on with an envious eye, decided to try his luck, and made a fine rush, which ended with the puck nesting in the corner of the net. Penetang seem- ed to come out of the trance, but alas ! it was too late. DeFinney had decided to try King's tactics, which met with success, and the game ended with M.H.S. on the long end of the score of 4-0. Ralph and Boyer, the star players seemed contented to let others run up the score, and by close checking kept the Penetang puck chasers from passing centre ice. Sil- verthorne showed that the subs were as good as the regulars and Jory and Shanacy both turned in a very creditable game in the net.
