The material was all that could be expected, and we must needs fall back on that time-honoured alibi Hluelcl' to explain our eventual defeat. Taking a lead of Five runs in the early stages of the deciding game against Vie., St. Mike's failed to cinch their advantage, and were nosed out by one run in the last half of the last inning. The linal score was 8-7. The first of the season saw the hopefuls rounding into shape by taking into Camp such worthy opponents as Knox and Trinity by ten runs or more. But-well, anyhow, we'll get that eup next year. Manager King succeeded in signing up some mighty dark horses from among the freshmen.

Y I Basketball, which for a number of years -has been a major sport of St. Michael's women's athletics, again played an important part in this year's activities. The Athletic Directorate considers that this season has been a most successful one for basketball. Although the honour of winning the group went to University College, nevertheless the Directorate is greatly encouraged by the splendid showing St. Michael's made. - St. Michael's started off successfully, and defeated by a slight margin both Vic's II and St. H1lda's tC21I11S. However, they proved too weak for the impregnable strength of University College, but they are to be con- gratulated on the creditable showing they made against a team of such high prowess. ' Much credit for this partial success is due to the coaching of Mr. Frank Buckland, who so ably trained the squad. ' The team, which is the best that has represented the joint forces of Loretto and St. Ioseph's Colleges, was under the captainshipot Miss Callista Doyle, who is an outstanding player on the team. The other members of the team are: Centres, R. Huggins, M. Blanchard, forwards, l. jones, D. Latch- ford, C. Doyle, guards, E. Quinlan, E. Reynoldsg subs, Misses Jackman, McDevitt Qmanagerj, and N. Storey.

Our endurance and courage, together with the competent and very generous support of our Coach, Miss Lillian Duggall, enabled us to reach a very high standard in an mhnitely short time. - I We enjoyed our practices at Lillian Massey Gym immensely. Throughout the season perfect harmony 127 prevailed and this too, in spite of the tact that there was neither sheik nor man connected with the team, in any way, shape or form. Rather a jolt I think, for the specious- and prevalent notion that masculine suavity is wholly essential for harmony among maidens. Our games were with CCE., St. Hilda's and Victoria, and though falling short in the score, en- thusiasm and stick-to-it-iveness was ever high. .
