THIS YEAR'S BASKETBALL SEASON WAS in some ways a glorious one, and in others a tragic one, for Tech. Competing in very evenly matched leagues, our Seniors lost to Lisgar in the finals by the nar- row margin of tive points in their two-game total points series 3 out juniors gave us even greater thrills in defeating Glebe by one point on the round, while our Bantams bowed out graciously in in the semi-finals to Glebe who went on to win the championship. We are proud of the three great teams who wore our colours with distinction thoughout the season. Congratulations to the players and their coaches. Senior Team jim Craig-Centre-Always inspiring his fellows with li .ns drive and superb floor playg jim's experience has helped the team a great deal. Wally Mellor-Forward- Tirelessn specializes in hook shots 3 a prolije scorer in his hrst year of Senior Ball. Sanafy Milne-Guard-Another first year mang has a v.iri::j.' r-r' sliuts .md is a hard man to get around. Alex Mason-Gi.zird-Owing to a broken leg, Alex was unable io play until the list game of the schedule. He is a sure ball handler and a heady player.

A second year Junior, he had the added benefit of experience. jim Thompson--Guard-Jim is the most improved basketballer on the team. A keen student of the game, he absorbs every bit of knawlejge available, and the results are apparent in his play. Bill Frieday-Forward-A steady dependable ball play- er who was always in the thick of things while on the basketball floor. Gerry DeFa.via-Centre-For a beginner he showed plenty of ability, and he should develop with experience. Continued on Page 64 0 Bantam Team jim Tigbe-Captain- jimmy displayed much ability and tremendous spirit throughout the year in a losing cause. Bill Gillissie-Centre- Faced with the mammoth task of using his height at both backboards, Bill did a stand- ont job and carried much of the attack. Aimojolmstou-Forward- Aimo led the league in scor- ing until sickness interfered. This smoothie should be heard from in future vears if the Ottawa journal can do without him on Wednesdays. Don Cougblin-Guard-- Scrapping every minute of the time he was on the floor, the only thing that made Don mad was the scorer's spelling his name wrong. Ron Craig and Arnold Young-Forwards- The jelly' bean Duetng one on top of the other could not equal in height the boys they were playing against all year, but they didn't yield an inch to any opponent.
