showed tremendous power in the last half, but were edged out 30-28. They were trailing 25-10 after the first half. As a result, Sydney plays St. Anne's for the right to meet Morrison High who won the bye into the Cape Breton finals. In the B division, the Academy team finished fourth in .schedule play, failing to get a berth in the league play-offs, although they definitely had one of the circuit-s strongest teams. Judging from the large number of good prospects who showed their wares in C basketball, it looks as if the Sydney Academy will continue to do- minate interscholastic basketball for a number of years to come. Senior Team: Guards: Syd. Mifflin, J. Campbell, T. Roach. Forwards: M. Maclnnis, Dave Rogers, J. Monahan, B. Darrow, A. Mac- Isaac and B. Forde. . --e-o-se GIRLS' BASKETBALL Early in November, practice sessions in girls basketiball, under the coaching of Misses Joan Andrews and Lorna Lewis-, and under the manage- ment of Mr. Johnson of the teaching staff, began at the Sydney Y. for all Academy girls interested in basketball. The coaches, former graduates of the Academy, put the girls through their paces, and soon after Christmas, the A and B teams were picked. In January, Miss Freida Wells from Halifax came down to Cape Breton and conducted classes for all girls throughout the Island where she went over the rules of Girls Basketball with them. It .should be noted that two new rules -have been introduced in Girls play this year, they being: 1. When a for- ward is taking a foul shot, the ball is dead, and whether she scores or not, she takes the ball out of ibounds either to the right or to the left of the 10-second line and play resumes again. 2. Whe-n a player is going in to substitute, she is beckoned 'by the referee on the floor and does not have to report to him. -43-0-km A SQUAD qsnmom The members of the A team are: A Forwards Helen Slade-The tall, blond centre of o-ur team, Slugger, playing her second year on the Senior squad, is a good passer and gets in fast for her layup shots. Lois lVIacLe-an-Our short, diminutive Lois, on the A team for her sec- ond consecutive year, fools her guards by her fake passing and swiftness of foot, and is good on her long, one-handed shots. Erna Rutherford-Up from the B to A team, Erna uses her height to advantage in getting the ball and cannot be stopped on her effective, overhead shots. 58
