BOYS The boys' basketball season was easily the best yet. To begin with there were three school leagues, a junior, intermediate and senior. The junior was composed of first year form teams. The second year made up the intermediate, while the third and fourth year forms went together to compose the senior league. In all there were 21 organized school teams and each played at least 7 match games. The winners in the junior league were IC who just nosed out IV. The intermediate championship went to IIA, who just defeated their close rivals, IIB, in the final game. IIIA won the senior championship, after a neck and neck race with IV B. IC won 6 and lost 15 IIA won 6 and lost 2, IIIA won 5 and lost 2. The following made up the winning teams: IC-E. Brotman CCaptainD, E. Forbes, J. Littlehales, M. Brotman, F. Hugle, J. Ames, F. Chambers and D. Priest. IIA-J. Shank fCaptainD, W. Martin, R. Quigley, W. Boyle J. Kelly, E. Webster and G. Barber. 2 IIIA-G. Erskine CCaptainD, R. Johnson, L. Graham, B. Connell, F. Arnold, N. Busch. The boys' school team had a good season with a schedulegof eleven games. Of these the team won 7. Five of the were with the Normal school, which had a tea'm made up of bigger, older, and more experienced players. Despite this fact our team beat them twice-fthe Normal Aurora please notice.j Three of the remaining games were with Y.M.C.A. teams, all of which we won. One was a battle with the staff which the R.C.I. team won in overtime, in a game replete with incidents. The other two were a series with Moose Jaw and Saskatoon to decide the championship of the province. To Saskatoon we lost 33-21. They had a very fast team and played beautiful basketball. Gur boys found the small .floor and strange baskets a decided handicap and not -until the second period did they get going. We piled up a bigger score than they did in the second half and were coming fast towards the end, but it was too late to catch up and the well deserved victory was theirs. The game with Moose Jaw was another hard contest and we managed to win out in overtime by four points, the score reading, 33-29. The final game for the honours for 1923 was then played between Saskatoon and Moose Jaw, at Moose Jaw, and won by Saskatoon. Saskatoon on their trip to Moose Jaw brought down a junior team for a game with ours. The R.C.I. juniors won, 22-17, after a close exciting contest. Our juniors were made up of ' 29
