BASKETBALL To an onloolcer, it might have seemed as though there wasn't going to be much material for a girls' basketball team this' year, since only 4 members of last yearls line-up are still wfith us. Although several of our girls are young, they have had a considerable amount of experience in public schools, which has proven a great advantage. In the line-up we find Captain Daisie Richards, Velma Kearns, Ed- na Laugher, Patricia Palmer, Doro- thy lYilliams, Ruth Forber, Millicent Hall, Hazel Brown, Margaret DeCou, Dorothy Rintoul and Thelma Mciiayg Patsy Collins, Manager. Marjorie Paterson, Madeline Reeves, Mae Kennedy and Dorothy Simpson also deserve credit for their support during practices. This season Sarnia found itself grouped once more with London. The grouping includes London South C. I., London Technical.Schooi London Central C. I., Sir Adam Beck Col. and Sarnia C. I. and T. S. London South vs. Sarnia The first lY.Q.S.S.A. game of the season was staged in London South gym on Saturday, Jan. 10th.

During the hrst hallf of the game Dorothy Wfilliams went wild and topped in goal after goal, placing carnia in the lead at half time. llowever, Tim Mcliay and Dorothy XX'illiams were put out of the game because of fouls. They were re- placed by Edna Laugher and Mar- garet DeCou, both of whom did ex- cellent work. The London defense checked more closely while Mary XYong, the fast Londoner, piled up the London Score. Dnce more the . arn'ia C. l. Sz T. S. took the short end with a score of .21-28. Sir Adam Beck vs. Sarnia Sarnia Collegiate girls turned in the surprise of the VV.0.S.S.A. Basketball season on Friday, Feb. 15th, when they stepped into the hitherto unbeaten Beck Collegiate with all enthusiasm and won a 28-26 decision at the Collegiate gym here.
