They won their own group, defeated Bow- manville in the Lake Shore play-off, and won against Meaford in the Ontario semi-finals at Toronto. In the final game against Welland, the oppo- sition prored too stiff and P. C. I. lost. The juniors were grouped with Cobourg and Oshawa this year, Whitby, Oshawa, and Bowmanville forming an- other group. In the season's opening game, Cobourg was defeated by 33-6. The following week Port Hope was beaten on their own floor, 33-9. On the small Cobourg floor, tougher opposition was experienced but P. C. I. won by a 40-28 score. In the closing game of the schedule, Port Hope was defeated 29-12. The following week, in an exhibition game against Dominion Life of the Y. M. C. A. City League, P. C. I. won a 28-15 score.

74 But enough space has been taken up with this. Sullice it to say that we are proud of our success this year, we hope for even greater success next year, and with fine support from the members of the school there is no reason in the world why P. C. V. S. cannot win a provincial championship. SCORES OF GAMES PLAYED 1 v - P. C X . S. 5-l Grove J 2-l Oshawa l S Central Tech. 9 1 1 Bowmanville 7 25 O 11 Oshawa 7 i . .

The End Qf a Pwifert Gamf The whistle blew a mighty blast, The crowd began to cheer at last. The ball went sailing through the air To the little half, who waited there. The middles were upon their guard, - But the little half-back lost a yard. A forward pass was thrown with zest, It gave the passing team a rest. The pass complete, a daring feat, Brought all spectators to their feet. A yard to go to cross the line, The quarter called the number nine. A touchdown play was on the way. The ball was snapped to save the day' The inside, who was large and tall Unfortunately dropped the ball. He dropped the ball, hence our defeat, That last play made the game complete. A yard to go, a fumbled ball - And that's the way to end it all. H.-XIG KELLY, II B Com. y Dztezwrm Mig by ANEW7 system was tried in the school this year. To replace the junior team, three interform teams were created. Anyone might play on these teams, except, of course, mem- bers of the senior squad. The Greys captained by Alvin King and coached by Mr. Collingwood, the Garnets cap- tained by Ralph Johnston and coached by Mr. R. D. Brown, and the Voca- tional team captained by Verne Fergu- son and coached by lXIr. Ross, pro- vided a lot of fun for the players, who benefited a great deal from their seasons play. Playing among themselvesj each team took part in four games, after which an all-star team was selected which played several games with Lake- Held and St. Peter's School. The team is indebted to the three coaches already mentioned for their co-operation in instructing the new enthusiasts, and to Dr. Preston who did some dental work for them.

76 THE ECHOES 36e23, thus advancing into the finals against Welland. Here, the P. C. I. juniors met defeat by a 33-18 score - to fmish a creditable season. Not enough credit can be given to Coach H, A. Craig for the manner in which he has given untiringly of his time and effort to produce a winning team. XVith but three players of last year's squad with which to form the nucleus of a team, he has rounded out an aggregation of enthusiastic boys which is a credit to him and to this school. PERSONNEL OF TEAM Centres: Ormie Weir, Nels Foster, jack Craig, forwards: Harlow Cutting, Bob Dyer, Jack Dougherty, Lloyd Louden, guards: Don Sedgewick CCap- tainl, Ted Cragg, Ralph Johnston, Ken Gillespie. DoN SEDGEWICK Semb r lffzffijefbzzll AT THE present time any account of the activities of the Senior Basketball team would be quite in- complete, since the schedule is just nicely under way. However, in the games played so far, the P. C. V. S. team of this season has shown itself to be of as good calibre as any preced- ing team. Up until now, Bowmanville has proved to be the main threat to P. C. Y. S. supremacy. Then, too, Cobourg is always dangerous on its own very small gym. floor. Oshawa has produced, as in the past, a team of average ability, while Lindsay have shown themselves to be of their usual calibre. The team this year is composed of many types ol individuals. Jack Gemmell is captain, and has time and again prov ed his capacity for leader- ship, and at all times exerts a steady- ing influence upon his team mates. Then, too, Gordon Gunsolus, the original Rodney the Rock, can cover at least half of the ax erage sized gym. floor, and proves a valuable man when the team is shorthanded. Bud Patterson, a quiet, unassuming lad, together with Ernie Foul-a-Minute Ward, Gord -Iohriston and Stuart Laing made up the Four Horsemen of the Senior team. Hymie Smith plays a tight game as always, and Clar- ence Davern, since his recent injury, has taken the position of assistant coach. Spud Turner and Nip Galley, alternating at centre, have given strong support in the games played so far. This year the team entered the Senior City League and has, as in the schedule, lost but one game. It is rather unfortunate that this publica- tion requires news ol the senior basket- ball team at this time, for we are quite conhdent that in the course of a few Weeks we shall be able to report that a championship has come to P.
