THE. COLL EGIATE I03 Sarnia 22-Strathroy 8. Cn the following Friday the S.C.l. journeyed to Strathroy for the re- turn game with that school. On their own floor, which was much smaller than that of Sarnia, the Strathroy players were able to use their mode of attack much more successfully than they could in Sar- nia. Although they offered a stub- born resistance all through the game the Strathroy team was de- feated 22-S. The Sarnia Collegiate played their most aggressive game of the season and by doing so earn- ed the right to carry on in the XYossa series. It was not only the first time, that Strathroy has been beaten on their own floor but the first time the Sarnia team has been returned winners of their district since basketball became a recog- nized XYossa point. The Sarnia guards were too much for the Strathroy forwards who were unable to get anything like a clear shot on the basket. Strathroy scored but one held goal and Leitch dropped that one in from close to the centre of the floor rather than take any chances of passing the Sarnia defence. The condition of the players was good enough to al- low them to keep the one team on the Hoor throughout the whole con- test and outlast the Strathroy team with its subs. Strathroy's guards were non plussed by the speedy short passing games of the winners. Hallam led the scorers with eight points but every player on the team but Pat Crompton bagged a basket and Kennedy who played his first game in several weeks was but one point behind Hallam in scoring. Each team had eight free throws and each squad bagged six of the shots. Orr scoring four for the losers. Sarnia-Kennedy, Hallam, for- wardsg Carter, centreg Crompton.

After winning the district from Strathroy the S. C. I. was placed with London in the first game of the semi-finals. The team journeyed to the Forest City on Fri. 21, to play the first game . As London had de- feated some of the best teams in that district a real game was antici- pated. Murray opened the scoring on a neat shot from the side, Logan, the center for London. added an- other one before the Sarnia aggre- gation found its stride. At half time the score stood 7-6, Sarnia resting on the short end. ln the second half the S. C. I. team appeared to have the advant- age and their combination improved considerably. Robinson and Hal- lam were fed continually by the guaids and they scored the majority of the Sarnia points. Of the Lon- don forwards Logan and Murray appeared to be the best, and Chap- man at guard made four neat held goals. Sarnia-Kennedy.

Referee--Dr. Smith. Sarnia 28-London 17. On Monday night the return game was played with London on the local floor, Sarnia having a five point lead. The visitors displayed much better form than in the pre- vious game but were defeated 28-I7. The locals acquired a lead shortly after play was begun and although the L. C. I. team offered a strenuous resistence the S. C. I. was never in danger of being defeated. The Sarnia defence watched the oppos- ing forwards closely and it was rarely that the latter were able to break through. Most of the visit- ors' points were scored by Barbour on free shots. The London team, in the second period, staged a strong rally but

102 THE CO LLEGIATE Chatham 8-Sarnia 13. On Feb. 15th Chatham came to Sarnia for the return game of the exhibition series, Chatham had a five point lead but Sarnia felt con- fident of turning the tables. There was nothing one-sided about the battle which. by the way. was witnessed by one of the smal- lest crowds of the season. The visitors pnt forth all they had to carry home the bacon but the super- ior teamwork of the locals swept the Chatham chances aside. The checking was close and hard throughout the contest. Chatham took the offensive in the early stages of the game and it was only in the dying moments that Brown and Gates came through with the points that spelled defeat for the visitors. Several switches were made in the lineup. Eddie Robinson being moved to a forward position. Roy Brown was the leading scor- er for Sarnia dropping in three baskets during the afifray. Carter was second with two. For Chatham Newham and Shepley were con- sidered the best. Chatham - Johnston. Newham, forwards: McCallum. centre: Hro- dy, Shepley, guards: Doyle, sub. Referee-Chas. lieeber. Sarnia 17-Strathroy 10 On Friday, Feb. 22, Strathroy journeyed to Sarnia to play the first game of the Semi-finals in the NYossa. Strathroy failed to show any of the class expected of them. Their teamwork was weak and their passing very poor. They lacked combination and had the lo- cals kept up the pace which they set at the beginning of the game it is doubtful whether two substitutes would have been sufficient for the visitors. Sarnia had the ball in their possession most of the time in the first half which ended I3-4. In the last half the locals seemed to be playing ahead of themselves which resulted in Strathroy scoring 6 points to Sarnia's 4. Kennedy and Hallam were the leading scorers of the locals, each getting three field goals. Leitch and Orr were the stars of the losers. After the game the visiting play- ers, officials, school officials. and the Sarnia team were tendered a ban- quet in the school. Strathroy-Leitch, Bolton, for- wards: Orr, centre: Burkholder, Nicholson, guard: lYhiting. sub. Sarnia-Kennedy, Hallam, for- wards: Carter, centre: Robinson, Brown, guards: NVhite, Gates, subs. Referee-Dr. Smith, London. Sarnia 10.-Port Huron 28. The return game was played in Port Huron on Saturday, Mar. I. In Sarnia the locals held the fast Port Huron team to an 18-I5 score and a good game was expected from both teams. Several hundred fans witnessed the defeat of the Sarnia squad. Sarnia's passing was poor and wild and their shooting was far be- low par. They looked worse a- gainst the Demolays on the same fioor. The Port Huron guards had the Sarnia forwards smothered. Catalino was breaking away from Carter all night and it was his bril- liant shooting that kept the Junior team in the lead. Carter was play- ing with a sprained finger which showed up in his shooting and pass- ing. But at that he was the best scorer for Sarnia bagging four free throws and one basket. For Port Huron the work of Catalino was the feature. Mugav- ero was about the fastest man on the fioor but his shooting was poor. Roy Brown was forced to leave the floor when he bruised the muscles in his foot in a collision with one of the Port Huron for- wards. Port Huron-Mugavero, Cataline, forwards: centre, james: guards, Sheffer, Malloy: subs, VVhite, Al- drich. Sarnia-Parsons, Hallam, for- wards: Carter, centre: Robinson, Brown, guards: Gates, Crompton, XVhite, subs. Referee-Ike Snyder, Pt. Huron.
