Easketball For the first time in many years we have been unable to participate in the Private Schools Basketball League. At the start of the season George Earner was appointed “coach”. At the end of the first week of practice, organized basketball had to be dispensed with due to moisture in the concrete supporting the newly laid gym floor. Practices were not resumed until a week before the League opened. At the same time coaching difficulties forced us to obtain the service of Mike Schioler and Gus de Jardin. After four hard practices we played our first game against East Kildonan, which was hard fought and well played by both teams. The result of the game was 22-7 in favour of the visitors. No further games were played as the coach devoted the majority of his time teaching the fundamentals of basketball to the newcomers to the game. THE TEAM Cliff Darke —The tall boy from Regina proved himself to be an able basketball player. Bruce Cunningham —A shifty player, Bruce was the high scorer of the team this year. Lloyd Mitchell —Mitch was our fastest player and a real threat. Tony Ferguson —A good all-round player, “Fergie” was the sparkplug of the team. Garry Savage —This was “Frere’s” first year with the team, and he proved to be a handy man on defensive work. Substitutes: Macdonald, Croll, Green, Stewart, De Jardin. EAGLE Thirty-nine
