INTERMEDIATE In scholastic football B section five teams were entered from Cape Breton, one from each of the New Waterford schools on the one part and Syd- 11ey Academy and Morrison High composing the other. In New Waterford, Central High won out as usual while Morrison High knocked off Sydney Acad- emy in a hard-fought -series which went the limit to decide a winner. After each team had won, lost and tied, ia game, the final was played at Glace Bay. Morrison High won on their home field by scoring a single try. The Glace Bay entrants then lost to New Waterford Centrals who in turn failed in an atte-mpt to take the Provincial championship. This marked the first in many years that neither football title came to Cape Breton.

In the Semi-finals Sydney Acad- emy and Morrison High defeated Northside and St Anne respectively. The powerful Academy nine got behind the fine hurling of south-paw Ray MacDonald and blasted a meagre Nortlhside entry 16-1. This win sent them into the Finals against Glace Bay Morrison High, a good team who boasted a highly-rated pitcher in Vince Lowe. The game opened with the usual tensi-ty, but it wasn't half over when the Sydney boys showed their power. Backed by some mighty hitting through the whole batting order, left-handed Murray Fewer pitched an exceptionally good game to halt Morrison High, 12-3. Murray was steady all the way and was never in very serious trouble. The strong Academy batting attacks kept him well ahead through most of tlhe game. Due credit must be given Messrs. J. Gillis and J. Johnson of the Academy teaching staff for their efforts with the school baseball team. Pitchers-Ray MacDonald, Murray Fewer, catcher: John H.
