The senior winners have not been declared but IIIC Collegiate are unde- feated as yet. IVB Collegiate have only been beaten once and that by a T-6 score in a hectic wrestling match. It should be a good series before a champ is declared. RUGBY Practically all the work, time and worry was concentrated on the senior squad last fall with hopes of recapturing the Poupore Cup. The green and white certainly had a formidable team. starting out with four straight wins and com- piling what is believed to be a record.

THE NORTHLAND ECHO 37 older opponents 4-0, then lost to them 4-2 but won on the round 6-4. They are worthy champs. Commercial teams are always in the swim for the senior shield. tIt usually is a swim by the time they get to the finals! Interform hockey is known of course for its roughnecks, its two or three stars who score most of the goals, its test of endurance and courage, to say nothing of the practical jokers. Yet none get more fun than 'the individual inter- form player. This term 3 Commercial outfought 3C Collegiate and coppcd all the glory and a fair share of the bruises. These two teams each took a game by the same score, 4-3. Then a protest was raised and 3C were forced to drop an ineligible player, Patrick Jennings. Third Commercial won the final game 4-2, the Collegians withering under the fire of all Commercial's imports. BASKETBALL Northern Ontario Intermediate B Basketball There was a four-team race for the Fosdick Cup in Senior City League bas- ketball. The Collegiate entered two teams. the A's and the B's so that this would J L3 be possible.

THE NORTHLAND ECHO 39 THE B BASKETBALL TEAM Back Row: Ken Frair, Bob Conroy. Jim Wigston, Bob Marshall, Jim Wyatt Front Row: Wallace Blakely. Carl Weegar, Cecil McParland series. Two star seniors were injured in an exhibition game at New Liskeard and this started the parade. Sturgeon copped the next game 11-10 at home. It was not only our team's first loss but the results were disastrous. Only a skeleton few of the original team were in shape after this game. However, the survivors put up an exceedingly plucky fight and new stars were born. They not only took another game from Sturgeon, 5-0, but sailed through Haileybury in the semi- final, 10-0. Practically all of the regulars were back for the final against Kirkland Lake but were still sadly injured. Our northern opponents won the game 6-O and the Poupore Cup for the first time. They earned their win on the play and we offer our congratulations to the new winners. Only one junior fixture was played this year and that in New Liskeard, The northerners won this 13-1. However. more should be said about the Juniors. They provided opposition for the Seniors in practice sessions. Because they were smaller, lighter and naturally not as experienced, they suffered a great deal but always came back for more. Next year Juniors, you will be the Seniors, so cheer up, your job is well done. Junior Team G.Stevens B. Carr C. McManus YV. Blakeley Senior Team Position L. 'Whitham Halfback F. Frair I.. Reardon G.
