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.
