This is a most assuring proof of the manner in which girls' sports have progressed. Those with athletic ability are now confining their efforts to Basketball. Hockey and Swimming, leaving Field Day in the past and anticipating Baseball in the future. BASKETBALL Near the close of last season the IQ24 XY. O. S. S. A. Basketball team had obtained the right to meet Lon- don South in the Semi-finals. Home and home games resulted in a 58-54 victory for our school. The close score speaks for itself concerning excitement, interest, and enthus- iasm. ln these exhibitions the indi- vidual performance of Hazel Aitkins reminded the spectators of Florence Buckindail of the old Collegiate and Dorothy Black of St. Thomas. The Sarnia Team however was doomed to meet its XYaterloo in the finals against llalkerville. Lilian Bull with her sure shooting forward line, her close checking defense and her short speedy passes outclassed the S.C.I. who went down lighting un- der an 83-28 score. Despite the fact that there was considerable delay before basket- ball got under way, the girls have been making up for lost time in their three weekly practices. On the first night Mr. Keeber, who is giving much of his time to coach- ing, and Miss Pugh who is so kind- ly assisting him. picked the teams with such careful judgment that it has remained practically intact. Although there is an absence of many of last year's veterans each and every member of the team de- clares herself ready to help in re- versing the finals of X924 when all other opponents are vanquished. Inter-Form Games Basketball games held between the forms with the view of deciding on the championship teams are the greatest factor in aiding the growth of this sport. On account of the necessity for concentrating on NYO. S.S.A. basketball it has been impos- sible to complete the schedule to date. Under Miss Pugh, manage- ment many of the games have been played and the semi-hnals have been reached. The Team As usual a team is entered in the

After Ending that iilalkerville had secured such finished results from practising with boys, it was deter- mined to follow this plan. The team would like to take this opportunity of extending its heartiest thanks to those boys who have sacrificed their time playing girls' rules-a term held high in their contempt. Old Girls-S.C.l. The annual clash between the alumni and the school was more in- teresting than usual. Although in- stilled with fear and trembling at the mention of the three Western, the two Ypsalanti Stars and Lorene Wlarwick, the uninitiated school team was successful in winning this first encounter by a 20-I8 score. It was a fast, hard struggle and when Son Jennings blew the final Whis- tle it was doubtful who the winners really were. Watford-Sarnia The antics of the Sarnia team's first appearance on the slippery dance floor of the 'Watford arinories caused a great deal of laughter. In spite of these adverse conditions the S.C.l. was able to attain a lead of 30 points. On the home floor the whole team worked like clock-Work and could 11ot be stopped. As a result the S.C.l. came out on the big end of a 66-7 score.
