u 'A '7 UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO if Womev1's Basketball HIS year for the lirst time the University of Western Ontario was represented in the Canadian Intercollegiate Womens Basket' ball League, which includes Toronto, Queens and McGill. The Western team surprised everyone by winning the championship in their tirst year of competition. Led by their energetic captain, Miss Margaret Turner, the Western team outclassed University of Toronto by a 26f17 score. On the following afternoon they defeated McGill'fthe score being 36120. Too many congratulations cannot be showered on the members of the team. They were handicapped by the lack of adequate gymnasium facilities and could only practice two or three afternoons a week. Also, London is the centre of W, O. 5. S. A., whose rules differ from those of the C. I. W. B. B. L., and it is diiiicult to get exhibition and practice games. We were fortunate in getting games with Alma College, St. Thomas, Macdonald Hall, Guelph, and Margaret Eaton School, Toronto- Miss Louise Burns, our able coach, must not be forgotten, for it was her unfailing energy and cheer which was responsible for much of the success of the team. In the Interyear games, Arts '31 won the championship by defeating the other three years. Alma College was represented this year, but as the members of the team were not members of the University Athletic Association, they could not claim the championship, although they had defeated all of the University teams.

Toronto Varsity were Westerns opponents in the Semi'Finals. Ivy UNIVERSITY oF WESTERN ONTARIO Hockey HE Intermediate Intercollegiate Hockey this year hrought together Westem and her oldest rivals of hoth gridiron and hockey. Mc' Master, O. A. C., and Osgoode Hall were the opponents that forced the Purple and White to rise to the highest peaks of hockey hrilliancy to finally annex the group title. The work of the team is the more to he praised because sickness deprived them of two of their members for the greater part of the season. Defeated in the first game of the series. Western, though four goals down, gave a wonderful display in the return engagement to win by the odd goal in nine. In these games. as well as all of the others, the leadership of Capt. jerry McTague was in marked evidence. For their invasion into United States territory this year, Western chose University of Michigan. From every angle the trip was a marked success and the Mustangs look forward to another meeting with the squad from Ann Arbor. One other exhibition game was played in Brantford. This fixture was the first of the season and did a great deal towards preparing the players for the rather strenuous games to come. The vast improvement in the team this year may be attributed to the man behind the scenes, Mr. W. W. Marsden. The University is indeed fortunate in having Coach Marsden available.
