THE COLLEGIATE 95 1 BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Left to Right-Howard Carter fcaptainl, Bruce Maitland, Gordon Mattingly, Lloyd Hallam. lfrlgzir Kellam, James XValsh, Cyril Teskey, Hubert Potter, Beatty Jennings Icoacbl. I Carter and Hallam went on a scor- ing contest, the former getting 30, the latter L23 points. The game was not interesting as it was too much one sided. S.C.l. Z4-Strathroy 11 The return Strathroy game was played on January 22nd. Hallam was decidedly off and did not play much of a game. Fouls were num- erous and several players were on the verge of being put off but the game ended in time to prevent this. Carter's shooting and the great de- fensive work of the team featured the game from a local standpoint. Hoskins and Graham were the best for Strathroy. Sarnia thus won the round 45-25. S.C.I. 23-Port Huron 21 The following night the team played the return game with Port Huron. The Hoor was slippery and the Sarnia team was off colour. It was necessary to play three over- time periods before Sarnia emerged victors by two points. S.C.I. 19-Walkerville 22 The game was keenly contested from the nrst between two evenly matched teams. XYalkerville start- ed the scoring and were never in danger. The game was rough and most of the fouls were called on Sarnia, although there were a lot overlooked on Xlialkerville. Carter led in the scoring with ten points while Hallam notched four. Tes- key and XYalsh played a splendid game at guard. The lYalkerville team took the openings and thereby gained a three point lead. Hallam had a chance to tie the score in the last period, on a disputed decision, but he could not get his eye on the basket. Carter. Hallam and Teskey were the best for Sarnia, while Al- lison, Turner and Hicks were the best for XYalkerville. S.C.l. ll-Walkerville 39 The weakened Sarnia squad play- ed the return game the following week. Wlalkerville started to in- crease their lead right away. The XYalkerville combination was strong and by full time had scored 39 points, while Sarnia gained II. Hallam was the best for Sarnia while Hicks was outstanding for Vtfalkerville.

94 THE COLLEGIATE McXYatters was forced to rouge in the third quarter for the first point of the game. XYindsor pressed hard and Parson scored a touch early in the fourth quarter. Sarnia retal- iated and with three minutes to go McGibbon caught an onside and ran fifteen yards for a touch. Parsons and Fox starred for XYindsor, while McGibbon and Geary were the best for Sarnia. A S.C.I. 8z T.S. 1-Windsor 13 The return game was played at XX 1l1ClSOI' the following Saturday, in a sea of mud and in continual rai11. The heavier lVindsor team used weight to great advantage and ex- celled in line plays. The open field work of Sarnia was greatly hinder- ed by the condition of the field. XVindsor had possession in Sarnia's territory most of the time. During the last five minutes the S.C.I. Sz T. S. showed signs of greater offensive but their rally started too late for scoring. For VVindsor, Parsons, Jeffers, and Garrison starred. Geary was the outstanding player for Sar- nia, being the only one to make yards against Ytiindsor during the game. BASKET The boys were very fortunate this year to be able to get Son -Tenn- ings to coach the team, The gra- duation of some of last year's play- ers left a great gap to be filled, be- fore the XYossa season started. However Son built up a strong team, which, handicapped by sick- ness. lost out in the semi-finals to Xkalkerville. XYalkerville's refusal to postpone the game. forced the team to go there without Carter or Walsh. This action on the part of lYalkeryille can not be accounted for, as there was another week be- fore the series was scheduled to be over. S.C.I. 27-Old Boys 16 The Old Boys' game opened the 1926 basketball season. Led by Bob McDougal-l the ex-students were determined to make up for their de- feat in rugby. Carter's scoring a- bility and Crompton's guarding frus- trated the hopes of the Alumni. The game was rather slow on ac- count of Old Boys' lack of condition. VanHorne held Hallam in check, so that Carter led the scoring. Ro- binson a11d McDougall were good for the Old Boys. Carter, Cromp- ton a11d Hallam for the school. BALL S.C.I. 30-Port Huron 9 The Port Huron basketball team was exceptionally small and in the annual international game were se- verely defeated. Kellam and Carter scored fourteen points each, Mait- land getting the odd basket. Most of the Port Huron points were ga- thered on foul shots or on long ones. In Hallamfs absence Kellam played his first senior game and played well. The final score was 30 to 9. S.C.I. 21-Strathroy 14 Ou January 15th the C. I. quintet invaded Strathroy for the first game of the XVossa season. The game was fairly fast with few substitu- tions. Carter opened the scoring and Sarnia was never behind. Hal- lam combined well with Carter. Strathroy played a hard game but their efforts were blocked by Tes- key and Crompton on guard. The game ended 21-I4 for Sarnia. S.C.I. 55-Garfield 11 The following week, Garfield High School of Port Huron played a game with the C.l. squad. They were defated by a score of 55-II.

96 THE COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE Despite the lack of a Boys' Ath- letic Association this year, Mr. Kee- ber and members of the boys' bas- ketball team got together early in March and promoted a basketball league for the boys in order to keep up an interest in that line of sport and also to hnd what material the school possessed for future years. The organization was very simple but effective. A list was secured containing the names of the boys who wanted to play. From this list the best six were chosen and six members of the teams drew for them. IYhen each was assigned to a team, the next best six were chos- en and this was repeated till each captain had a roster of eight play- ers. The six captains or coaches undertook the placing and instruct- ing of their players and in this way derived as much benefit as the play- ers themselves. Two leagues were soon seen to be necessary, owing to the number of boys, and a junior league was formed similarly to the senior. For coaches the teams in the junior lea- gue had the substitutes of the re- gular team. Each league was di- vided up into two parts and at the end of the season the winner of Part I played the winner of Part 2 for the championship. These games al- so served as a help to Hallam and Carter, of the first team, for these two acted as officials of the games and incidentally they missed very little rough stuff and their handling of the games was spoken of prais- ingly rather than insultingly as is usually the case among arbitrators. The team coached by Teskey won the hrst part of the Senior league and XYalsh's cohorts captured the second part. The playoff was wag- ed before a large crowd of students and XValsh's emerged victorious with a I4-8 count. The winners' team is composed of: McPhai1, cen- treg Ivinson and I-Iargrave, for- wardsg Patterson, Clark, guardsg Prendergast, sub. THE W.O.S.S.A. TRACK TEAM The sixth annual IYossa Track and Field Meet was held on Satur- day, May I6, IQ25, at the new cinder oval, at XYestern University. De- spite the dull day and drizzling rain, the meet was a huge success, and six records were broken. Sarnia sent three teams to the meet, but they did not succeed in winning any group or individual championships, though they made a very creditable showing for the school. The members of the teams were: Senior, L. Hallam, H. Carter, St. C. Parsons, E. Kennedy. Harold VanHorne and F. Burwellg Inter- mediate, 'Iames Armstrong, Kenneth Fraser, Elton Johnston, Charles Richards, Gordon Paterson. ,lun- iors: Kenneth Zink, Lyle McKay, Glen lXIcPhail, Tom Laurie. The Seniors were the most suc- cessful, coming second for the Group Championship with I6 points, while London South was first with 25 points. Ted Kennedy won his heat in the senior Ioo yards and came second in the final heat. In the Senior Shotput, Howard Carter won third place and in the High 'lump was second, Bud Parsons was third in the 440 yard race and Lloyd Hallam won first in the Sen- ior Broad Jump. In the Senior Re- lay race Sarnia was second. In the Intermediate Class Sarnia scored only three points, these being gain- ed by Elton Johnston who was sec- ond in the Shotput. In the Junior division Kenneth Zink won second place in the Shotput. Our team last year did very well, considering the fact that the campus was very muddy and that we have no indoor track, so that the athletes may begin training early in the
