c OUR TRTP TO QUEENS On April 2lst the allfstar basketball team from the High School was privileged with'an invitation to the Queen's Un- iversity Annual Basketball'Tournament. The boys along with . Mr. Parkinson left the High School Wednesday morning at seven o'clock and arrived in Kingston at eleven-thirty. From here we went to the University and immediately changed for our first game at twelve. Our sleeping quarter was a small gymnasium next to the large gymnasium in which tne games were played. J In the first game we met Almonte which was a fairly strong team. We found when we arrived and saw some of the teams that the competition was much better this year than last, although last yearfs competition was really tough. r We won our first game from Almonte in the last two minutes as we out scored our opposition ten points to two. The boys started out quite strong in this game but later found that the floor was a littleikwviong and thus had to slow the pace down. The lead in this game changed hands many times and Port lads finally coming out on top by the score of 52-48. By winning this game we earned the right to meet Deep River fthe team that defeated us last yearl who in turn had defeated Morrisburg in the morning. This game with Deep River was played at eight o'clock Wednesday night. Our boys were leading in this game right up until the last minute when one basket would put either team ahead. With fifteen seconds left in the game Port Perry was leading by one point and had possession of the ball. Failing to hear the coach telling them to freeze the ball one of the Port players took a shot, but missed. The Deep River player took the ball and threw a pass down the floor and there was a scramble for the ball, with a Deep River player coming out with the ball, and from the foul line took a hook shot, while not watching the ring at all, and with two seconds left the ball fell through the hoop and Port Perry had lost a terrific heart-breaking game by one point. The final score being Lu-AB. By losing this game the Port lads had to play at ten o'clock on Thursday morning against Gananoque who they defeated quite easily by the score of 45 to 29. By winning this game at ten they earned the right to play against Picton for the right to enter the semi-finals for the Albert's College Trophy. This game got under way at 8 o'clock Thursday night with the Port lads coming out on top once again by the score of 50-37.

The Port boys then did not have to play until Friday aftern,on at 3.00. Although P6pt Perry had notgiayed all day and Deep River had played previous to this game in the morning the Port lads did not seem to be at the top of their playing ability. The Port team lost this game by five points and only scored 29 points themselves which was enough to indicate their off-form. The lowest score which they had compiled before this game was AB. The final score of this game was 3A-29. The Port Perry team had a record of 2 wins and Q defeats the same as they achieved last year. One team had to lose 2 games before they were eliminated. I am sure that the boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves while down in Kingston and they certainly saw a great deal of good basketball. I think the boys tried to win every game andgiayed the best they could every game theyyiayed. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr. Cornish for driving us to Kingston on Wednesday morning and to John Waldinsperger for coming to Kingston on Saturday morning to bring us home.
