HAVELOCK—Ron was the team kibitzer, but played hard and well while on the floor. B. KLUNER—Mr. P.’s friend. Bill is a very good basketball player when he sets his mind to it. S.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL BRODY—His fighting spirit netted him 38 oints and “that ain’t hay.” Dependable Dan. he point-a-game-man. CADZOW—A little guy, George was invalu- ble on defence. He’ll be a pillar of strength iext year. DUDNEW1CH—Walter was the star of the saac Newton game. Also very steady hroughout the year. FAINBLIT—An able sub, Earl snagged a few ounters every game. Should be a standout n 1947. ri GERSHFIELD—One of those hard-working, ilast-talking Room 40 boys. He shows promise. •KIRSON—A grade ten who made good.

The boys from Daniel Mac defeated Tech by a narrow margin of 3-2 in a close game. Tech man¬ aged a tie with the “Katies” but were sent down to a heart-breaking defeat 1-0 in a second encounter. “The Saints” finally got their football feet on the ground and blast¬ ed Gordon Bell 6-0. In the second game, Ken Cormack in the Tech nets had bare¬ ly got his boots tied when the G.B.’s tal¬ lied. The Tech lads, however, fought back in the second half to win 2-1. Daniel Mac won the last game by default, owing to the fact that Tech couldn’t field a team because of the numerous injuries acquired in the game against Kelvin. Mr. Ross, a stalwart player in his time, again was the soccer boss and deserves great credit for his genial attitude and working ability. ★ JUNIOR SOCCER The Junior eleven were noted for their good defensive system which staved off the strongest attacks of their worthy oppo¬ nents. But the best laid plans go off astray And Daniel Mac soon found the way. At the end of the season, the score card read as follows: St. John’s. 1 St. John’s . 2 St. John’s . 1 St. John’s . 2 St. John’s . 3 Lork Selkirk .0 Kelvin . 1 Daniel . 3 Kelvin . 0 General Wolf.... 0 To finish the series the Tech team was defeated by the smooth-playing “Macs” in a very close game, with a score of 2-1. The team was skillfully coached by Mr. Laycup who maintains that next year will see a bigger and better team.
