However, before their competitions started an exhibition game was held with the Stratford Normal School in which the Normal were defeated, the score be- ing 44-0. cTuesday, December 8.3 Kitchener's team had a slack year when all their basketball players had graduated and the oncoming juniors were not quite able to take their place. They played a good game but not quite good enough. The final score was 17-9 in Stratford's favour. fJanuary 29 Friday.j The first league game Stratford played was with London Central. Their team was ex- ceptionally good having defeated London Tech last year's W.O.S.S.A. winners. To watch the field work of the London girls was a treat and they showed themselves superior to the Strat- ford team. The score was 33-2 in London's favour. 1February 5 Fridayb in London. When London came to Stratford, February Page Fifty 12, the Stratford girls knew what to expect. They had done some serious practicing before their opponents' arrival and showed them- selves more equally matched. After an ex- tremely close and exciting game London came out on top with a 14-8 lead. With London's two successive wins Stratford was put out of the W.O.S.S.A. running, but that did not dampen the girls' enthusiasm for more basket- ball. A return game with Kitchener showed Stratford still superior, the final score being 14-7 in Stratford's favour. The last game the girls played this season was with the Normal School but competition was not very keen and Stratford came out on top with a 23 point lead. The Junior Girls did not enter W.O.S.S.A. this year but in a game with Kitchener they defeated their rivals 16-12. It was their only important appearance but it proves to anyone in doubt that there are some good Junior players that will make excellent senior material. T

Altogether the year in the way of girls' sports was successful, the girls entering more heartily than ever before into the events. FIELD DAY The dates for the Annual Field Day were chosen as the first and second of October but owing to rain the events of the first day were postponed and they all took place on Friday the second. Margaret Cornish Mary Myers Floris Zulauf The co-operation of the teachers as well as the students helped in no small way to make the field day a huge success. The Juvenile and Junior classes were well represented but numbers dwindled for the intermediate and senior classes. However, the competition was keen and when the final winners were decided upon, the true athletes were singled out. There is little need to mention the popular- ity of the booth. Although it was just busy for one day it was well patronized. In the Girls' Events: Senior cup winners-Floris Zulauf, Mary Harrison, each with 19 points. Runner-up-Lillian Elder, with 11 points. Intermediate cup winnerfBarbara Crane, 19 points. Runner-up-Dorothy Symonds, 13 points. Junior cup winner-Elsie Smith, 13 points. Runner-up-Audrey Appel, 9 points and Jean French, 9 points.

COLLEGIAN, 1937. ' BOYS! BASKETBALL Basketball is a clean, fast game. Then, why is it so poorly attended? True, there is not much room for spectators, but is basketball losing its value in the field of sports? DOES IT NOT offer enough thrills? If it does, then it warrants a much greater attendanceg so next term patronize the games freely. The S. C. I. was represented only in the Junior W.O.S.S.A. competition this year. However these plucky youngsters fought their way into the semi-finals by winning three out of four games. They took two games from Kitchener-Waterloo and split even with Galt. In the play-offs with Galt the Stratford boys were not so fortunate because they were de- feated twice, 26-12 and 18-12. This put an end to their fight for the championship.

HOCKEY With three Junior teams in O.H.A. competi- tion material for the school team was limited. However the best teams that conditions per- mitted were put into the series. Senior Hockey. The seniors were hit the hardest by these conditions. In the first game with London they were defeated 7-1. Although elimin- ated by the number of goals scored on the round the players received much satisfaction by handing the London players a 3-2 defeat on their home ice. The junior team defeated the less experi- enced Ingersoll boys quite handily. They ad- vanced into the second round against London Technical School and again won both games of a home-and-home series by the scores of 8-3 and 3-2. They were now headed for their second championship in as many years. In the first game of the finals the S. C. I. team received their first defeat at the hands of a faster Windsor-Walkerville Tech. team by the score of 8i5. In the second game the S. C. I. C ls .I 2 X N96 as . .
