Senior Basketball By Ronny Doidge In many a heated gymnasium, scream¬ ing rooters saw the dashing hoopsters display their wares and their good sport¬ smanship this year. The boys came out on top in only two games this semester, I but bowed to many games only by nar¬ row margins. The team-mates this year learned the real value of and sport of the game of basketball, rather than the lust for victory blood. Mr. Allison, one found a very good ball handler. The shifteiest player to step on the high school basketball floor this year, an ac¬ curate sharpshooter and a perfect team mate. This boy was one of the main point gatherers, and it was he who paced the team in each game. “Jack” also received honourable mention for the All-Star Team. Ken. Rutherford.

Brand new recruits turned out for Jr. Basketball practice this winter and learned the art of playing the game from the floor to the hoop. Under the guidance and close supervision of its coach, Mr. Forman, this gang of youths practiced ardently and thrilled basket¬ ball fans all over the city with their fine showing in the scheduled games. These blue and white youngsters played like veterans and cast a new light on Jun¬ ior basketball. Most of this year’s club will be play¬ ing Jr. Basketball for Walkerville next year, and we are confident that they will come out on top in the coming basket¬ ball season. Tom Hornsby. Tom proved to be a very good ball handler and a strong defens¬ ive player. Jack Ogg. The hoop was an easy target for Jack Ogg to hit with a basketball. This boy was always a scoring threat. Jim Scorgie. A good ball handler, a brill¬ iant guard, and a real sport, combine to make that popular lad, Jim Scorgie, Jim can always be depended on to hoop more than his score of points. Keep up the good work, Jim. Joe Martin. Joe’s speed and good eye for the hoop make him a dangerous forward to guard. Keith Rose. The fightng little bundle of school spirit that was always on hand to help the squad is Kieth Rose. Jack Gilliland. Jack was the shiftiest man and the best ball handler on the team. This boy made many of his points by a splendid pivot shot. Bob Johnson. This chubby lad is an ex¬ cellent guard and paced the squad in many games. Jack Holder. In Jack we find real mat¬ erial for a future professional basketball player. The clean ball handling that this boy displayed gained for him a regular position on the team. Jack Stodgell. Jack’s continually good game boosted the quality of the Walker¬ ville junor games this year and kept for (Continued on page 86)
