THE EAGLE 25 seams Noits .2 INTER-SCHOOL BASKETBALL Due to the late delay in setting up the sched- ule it was only possible for each team to play one game against the opposing schools. River- bend and St. Mary's. It turned out that Rupert's Land won six out of eight games to capture the series, with St. Mary's second, and Riverbend third.
