ATHLETICS The boys’ basketball team again entered the Senior “B” Basketball League, but did not show too well because they lacked experience and depth. In spite of this drawback, they played improved ball against St. Paul’s and Ravenscourt for the City Private School’s Championship, before finally losing to St. Paul’s in a bitterly fought final. This league has brilliant possibilities in the future for United. Inter-room hockey continued again this year at the Olympic Rink. This sport aroused more interest within the student body than any of the others. The teachers devoted their time to refereeing, supervising, or participating in the games. To decide the winner, we had a knock-out tournament. When the vigorous action had ceased, 12-3 emerged the victors. During the league schedule, the Collegiate formed an All-Star Team which played against the mighty University team. The Collegiate lost a highly contested game. Curling was carried on throughout the season at the Eaton’s and Strathcona Rinks. A monstrous curling Bonspiel was held at the Granite Curling Club in which all students took an active part. The bonspiel was won by Butch Crabtree and team. It was a tremendous success and was enjoyed by all. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all sports representatives and any others who devoted their time to help organize the athletic program this year.
