After an absence of two seasons the team returned to the top of the Prepara- tory Schools Basketball League, and met Humberside in the Senior interscholastic play-offs of the Toronto and District Basket- ball Association. The team was fortunate in having avail- able three regulars from the previous season in Pocock, the tall centre who was chosen captain of the team, and Burt-Gerrans and Halverson, forwards. The former was moved back to guard with Muir, captain of the l932-33 junior team, while the other forward position was filled by Linton Love, the centre of the same junior team. The other guards were Mackintosh, another senior of the previous year, and Bill Moore, from the juniors, who made up in speed what he lacked in aggressiveness. The forward line was completed by Dobson and Gregg from the juniors, and Gardiner, a newcomer to U.T.S. basketball. The team displayed more ball handling ability and more aggressiveness than any U.T.S. team for several years, and, while they were not strong defensively, they offset this weakness by a rare scoring punch. Pocock was a consistent threat at centre and was a consistently high scorer from the key- hole position. Halverson shone defensively and as a playmaker. Love, frail, but with a deceptive turn of speed, was also a high scorer. Burt-Gerrans, the best natural player of the squad, was the ideal running guard and starter of plays. Muir, a small guard, was aggressive on defence and pos- sessed much shooting ability. Moore divided the guard work with Muir, while Mackintosh relieved at guard, and Gregg, Dobson and Gardiner, who lacked only ex- perience, relieved on the forward line. The team won all its league games. The first against St. Michaels was perhaps the most interesting. Our opponents had three stars in Talbot, McLachlan and Bergeron, but U.T.S. won the free-scoring contest 45-35. The game with Pickering at Newmarket was the closest. Halverson was absent owing to illness, but Gregg played strongly on the defensive in his place. After trailing most of the game, U.T.S. finally won 29-26. ln the second game, St. Michael's, without Bergeron and Talbot, were beaten 51-32, while Pickering were beaten 45-26 in a strenuous game in Toronto. ln the play-offs U.T.S. met Humberside, the Canadian interscholastic Champions of I933-34, who were bigger and stronger than ever. ln the first game, U.T.S. blew in the first half of the game, and Humberside, led by Pomer, won an easy 52-Zl victory. In the return game we made a much better showing, although Humberside again won by 34-29. Pomer was held in check by Pocock and Love, while Halverson played the best game of his career. Stark stood between Humberside and a defeat.
