f f 7 , , Y JE, THE it EQHQHS Girls' Senior Basketball 1zowM.xNv1LLE AT PETERBOROUGH C. V, S. girls' basketball opened their schedule in their own gym against. 0 Bowmanville. The visiting team had most of its last year's team and their combination plays proved too much for l'.C'.V.S. scxtet. The final score was 11-6 for Bowmanville and although P.C.V.S. had the majority of the play they were unable to make the necessary points. For the initial game of the season P.C.V.S. girls made a fine showing. PETERBOROUGH AT COHOURG P.C.V.S. were defeated by Cohourg, last year's champions, by a score of QS-18. Cobourg completely baffled P.C.V.S. for the first half with trick combination and short sure passes. At half time Cobourg was leading QQ-7 but for the latter part of the game P.C.V.S. put up a great fight and added to their score although they were unable to overtake the local team. PETERBOR0l'GH .XT PORT HOPE This proved to be one of the hardest games the Garnet and Grey squad had to play during their schedule. and the result was a 12 all t.ie. It was a hard-fought game with close checking and accurate passing, There were never more than Q points dif- ference in the score from the time the opening whistle blew. The teams were evenly matched as the score indicated. but P.C.V.S. had the edge on the play. PORT HOPE AT PETERBOROUGH tYhen Port Hope played a return game the local team showed a vast improve- ment. The visitors found the larger floor not to their liking and the effective checking. and accurate passing of the local team. held them down to only tive points. At half time P.C.Y.S. was leading 17-3 and at full time defeated Port Hope hy a score of Q3-5. COBOIYRG AT PETERBOROVGH 1'.C.V.S. handed Cobourg their first C.0.S.S.A. defeat of the season in a fine display of basketball-the score standing at 9-3. The game was a highly exciting one and although the visitors had many chances in close they found the large floor hard to get accustomed to. The losers failed to get a basket, making their points on free throws. P.C.Y.S. obtained a lead at the beginning of the game and main- tained it throughout. PETERBOROVGH AT BOWBIANVILLE P.C.V.S. concluded their basketball for the season by defeating Bowmanville 10-S in the most exciting game of the season. It was the fastest display of basket- ball seen in this group all year and excitement was at a fever pitch from whistle to whistle. At half time the visitors were leading by the narrow' margin of 3-Q. In the second half P.C.Y.S. managed to get the winning basket in the dying moments of the game. Both sides used good combination and checked well. with P.C.V.S. having only a slight edge on the play. The season closed with Cobourg the champions and we take this opportunity of congratulating them on their well-earned success. They went- through their schedule with only one defeat and P.C.V.S. might well feel proud of defeating such a classy team. -80-

WHS El-3455.5 Ajlcrsonmzl of Girls' f1J.G1.V.S. :Basketball Beam HGLADU CIARVOLTH-NB6tlS no introduction to P.C.V.S. students. Although it was her first year on any team, she proved to be one of the best forwards. Her brilliant personality combined with her ability as a player led her team mates to elect her as captain of the team. Sl1e filled her position well and worthy of the confidence placed in her. HGLADDIEH GERARD-Played as regular guard on the team. Her passing was fast and good and intercepting of passes clever. Her playing was often spectacular. In addition her ability to combine with others rather than to play a lone game made her a valuable member of the team. Gladdie was the fastest player on the Hoor and her speed proved a great asset. K'ltIARI0N HARVEY-Vvas an alternate forward-she played a good combination game, working well with her team mates. We expect her back next year to take her place as 0116 of the star forwards on the team. r HKATY,, ROGOYY'1SllC played as alternate guard and in this position did some very fine work. She possessed a real knowledge of the game. Katy had the knack of sticking with her opponent. always being in the right place and no forward could shake her. MAR1 ' IVICPHERSON-A regular forward. Probably no member of the team improved more than Diary. Her shooting is accurate and passing quick and good. She could always be depended on to get points when they were most needed. W1NN1E', SNOWDEN-Gaye real leadership to the guards. It was she on whom we depended when the opposing forwards were threatening our basket a11d she never failed us. Winnie gave all her resource and energy all the time. Her playing was consistently effective in intercepting passes. Her long shots were one of her strong points. Though her playing was not always spectacular. it was of high merit. iiK.AY,, CADDY-An alternate forward. She is a yery steady player and shows real promise in that position. Due to an injured ankle she was unable to continue in the latter part of the season. lVIARG WOOD-Played as regular centre forward. Her height which is above the average enabled her to fill this trying position skillfully. She was an all round good playerg a good shot, with good team-play. She proved to be a very game, reliable player. RUTH HUNTER-An alternate guard. She also made goodruse of her height around the basket, getting the rebounds and passing them up the floor to the forwards. She was most effective in blocking passes. HMISS BR1sBIN -VVhen the basketball season opened this year Bliss Brisbin found herself faced with the task of building up a team of entirely new players. This year there was an exceptionally good turn out of faithful basketball enthusiasts and those who were chosen for the team were worthy of the honour. Brizzie's sunny dis- position and understanding nature made her a great favourite with the girls. Although the team ran a close second for the championship, they failed by a small margin to 11056 out the Cobourg veterans tChampions of 19343. and they at least were success-
