Port Perry showed more variation and a little more speed in the backfield, but the held stubbornly every time it was threatened.

JUWibRfBdYfs'EksKEfsALt ' T fContinuedJ Our regular schedule started in Whitby. This first game versus Whitby Juniors was very close, until the last quarter when Whitby, led by their high scoring captain, Musselman, came through to win 53 to 35. An exhibition game with Lindsay boys was squeezed in a few days later and we defeated them 33 to 23. Next we went to Uxbridge where we won easily 53 to lu. Then again we played against Whitby boys. We built up an early lead but lost it toward the end, and with it, lost our chance to force Whitby into a two-game total point series to decide the winner of our league. The score was 38 to 33. As our last game with Uxbridge had very little effect on our standing, Mr. Parkinson took the opportunity to break in many of next year's juniors and he gave our regulars a rest. We lost the game by a close margin, ZL to 2l, thus ending a good basketball season. Four of our juniors moved up to the seniors and two of our squad Jack Owen and Gary Lawrence, contributed much to the seniors' success in receiving their Lakeshore C.O.S.S,A. HBV title and to their getting into the finals in the Kingston Golden Ball Tournament. Mr. Parkinson is to bc congratulated for his remarkable work in training inexperienced boys to produce a good team. On the M floor the team was led throughout by captain Jack Owen and A G assistant captain Gary Lawrence, The official scoring indicates the points obtained by each player, as follows: 1' ' ' Gary Lawrence I tl36 .
