The Intermediates, made up of Midget and Juvenile players, have won the Cape Breton title and will soon meet New Glasgow to defend their Nova. Scotia championship.

New Waterfords Centrals provided the opposition in the Cape Breton finals, but they were no match for Mr. Chafe's fast skating aggregation who trounced them by a 9-3 s-core. Intermediates : Goal.

BASKETBALL A As we go to press, the Academy Senior basketballers 'have received a few acid tests b-ut we have yet to see what kind of a team we have with thc chips down.
