Senior Basketball fDonald Dowsonl - The senior basketball team had quite a successful season this year as they duplicated the record compiled in league play bv last Vearfw team-this beiqetwng'fbr the league title with Whitbv, but eventually being beaten out bv our Whitby rivals in a two-game, total point play-off. The inter-school league comprised teams from Uxbridge, Port Perry and Whitby. The team was composed of Captain Norman Hatgsnfan ex- perienced seniorj, John Waldinsperger Clast year s junior captainl, while the remaining players were either juniors or seniors of little experience- assistant captain Peter Sulman, Don Dowson, Larry Kendall, Don Ccdk, Poster Rowland and Sin- clair Robertson. lt should, hofever, be mentioned that considerable of the teams success should go to-the juniors who were allowed, by league rules, to play one senior game, and still be classified as junior. While all the junior thus participated in one senior game, Don Cook moved up to senior and played permanently for them-contributing nuch toward their success. ' In regular league play Port Perry Seniors downed Uxbridge twice by scored of hh-50 and 5O-ZO3 they trimmed Whitby by a 61-L3 count on their home floor only to lose out in the last game of the schedule by 74-35 at Whitby-this game eventu3llY costing the locals their league championship. In the play-off 'which followed and being unable to use any of the first string juniors, Port seniors lost to Whitby L3-39 at home and by a decisive 72-L5 count at Whitby. ln exhibition games with Lindsay A seniors the locals were beaten 59-29 an Lindsay and 39-25 at home. They were also outclassed badly by the Oshawa Cnntral A seniors 55-23. However the P.P.H.S. senior quintet came up with a fine showing against the Oshawa O.C.V.l. seniors being narrowly beaten out at home 33-3l and 38-33 in Oshawa. They did win two exhibition contests, one against St. Peter's seniors L7-24 and the other against Oshawa Central Junior A's by a 56-46 tally. 'Big Norm Haugen, on whom the team relied for its scoring punch, deserves much credit, while Pete Sulman whoaifine play and team spirit earned him the first by winner of the Jack Griffen Memorial Trophy as WThe Boy Basketball player of the yearn. Mr. Parkinson,as coach of the team, also deserves congratulations. The scoring statistics for the past season were- Norman Haugen, l9hg Peter Sulman, 89, John Waldinsperger, 735 Larry Kendall, 553 Don Cook, 95 and Don Dowson, 8.
