Although Dons coaching was admirable throughout, this arrangement always leaves much to be desired. ln spite of this rather cramped situation, the team played in- spired basketball in both inter-Normal games, and, according to the consensus of opinion among the spectators, the two mens basket- ball games were the most interesting to watch of all inter-Normal sports. ' Several exciting exhibition games were played with Riverdale, Oakwood and Forestry ttf of T.J, although we usually came out on the short end of the score-sheet. The highlight of the season was the Stratford-Toronto game which was fast, clean, nerve-racking basketball until the final whistle. Strat- ford I3, Toronto 9 was the final scoreg and the game was just as close as the score indicates. Page Forty-six One gratifying and practically unknown feature is that several of the players were novices to the game. Hats off to Ford, Greenwood, Martin, and Parkin who are in that category. They may have been rookies in point of experience but they played like veterans. The teams: Kearns Fliover Ford .... Lanky and brainy. Norman 'tNorm Greenwood ..... A bundle of surprise. Roy Chares King .... Fighting side by side with Jardine. Alex Pepper Jardine .... Get in and fight! Don Coach MacLean .... You tell 'em coach. Isaiah Ike Martin . . . Centre man par excellence. Bruce Bouncer MacDonald tCaptainJ .... 1001 sterling. Oscar Awk Morrison ....i LX bsolutely unruffled. Herbert t'Tarz Parkins .... He must be related to Dihlaggis. Richard Dick Welwood ..... A nother blonde whizz! Robert Bah Wheatstone .... Very reliable. I would like to extend on behalf of the team our sincere thanks to Mr. Keefe and all others who helped to make such a successful season for the team. R. King.

However the boys held two practices and played two exhibition games at Varsity Arena. There were about sixteen aspirants for the hockey team, who couldn't resist the lure of the game, and trudged down to the Arena for the Saturday-morning practices. After the first practice, which found most of the hockeyists dallying hopelessly about, coaching be- came a necessity. At the next Saturday morning practice Pep Kelly, a pro puck Chaser who attended school with some of the boys, was on hand to give the team a few pointers. Mr. Kelly did some very useful master-minding until his sale to Chicago. The hockey team was again stranded without a coach. About a week before Christmas holidays a game was played with Bloor Collegiate. Both teams were below form: but after a hectic struggle the Gould Street boys took the long end of an S-2 score. After Christmas, the team engaged in another exhibition game with Radio College which wrote 'finis' to the season. In this game the teachers again repeated this form by defeating the Radio Men 6-1. The only mishap of the season occurred during this game when Don MacLean, star winger, had the misfortune to break his collar- bone when he accidentally crashed into the boards.
