SENIOR BASKETBALL Bingo; Walkerville triumphs again as the W.CX senior boys’ basketball team won a third major city league champion¬ ship in one school year. The Tartans, who, at the beginning of the season were not even rated as having a chance, scored an upset triumph over the pre-season favourites, the Assun p- tion High School Raiders in a sudden death tilt to decide the crown on March 9 before 2,700 screaming, cheering fans at Kennedy Collegiate. The team was bolstered at the start of the season by the return from the wars of Major Ian Allison, He moulded together a team that had only three players who had pre¬ vious senior competition experience into an aggregation who, though they did not look so brilliant in regular season play, suddenly came to life in the playoffs to completely outclass their rivals and win the crown. Continuing into the W.G.S. S.A. play downs alkerville defeated Leamington in both games of a hotne- and-home series and received a bye into the finals with London Central. The score of this game was 18-15 for London. Facts and Figures On Players FRANK (LEGGY) MARCH AND, cen¬ tre, height 0,3, age 17. Walkerville was fortunate to have the best city league centre on their team. He is one of the greatest offensive forwards Walkerville has ever had. His scoring average was 14 points per game. Aside from being a great offensive star he is also a good player on defense and an expert ball handler. He was the only unanimous selection to the All-City basketball team. BILL MEEKE left forward, height 0.0. age 17. Played regular forward and teamed with Marchand and Gilliland to form one of the best forward combina¬ tions in the eitv, Meeke has a very dan- Pase Eighty

GLENN GILLILAND, right forward, heigh t 6.0, age 17, Glenn was the third member of Walkerville’s offense and operated from the pivot most of the time, Gilliland was a dangerous shot from the corner and could always be counted on to make a good share of the points in a game. Gilliland narrowly missed out mi the All-City first team hut landed a sec¬ ond team birth with ease, LEO POSTOVIT, rear guard height 5,09, age 17. Leo is the youngest and smallest member of the Walkerville quin¬ tet but if good things come in small packages this boy must have got a double dose. He possesses a very good one- handed shot and scores more than a guard usually does. JACK NEWBY, left guard, height 5.10, age 19, Jack is the mainstay of the Walk erville defence and although he does not set»re many points has a crack long shot and at times has flashed form befitting a forward. This is his last year at senior basketball and he also just missed out in making the All-City guard but made the position on the second team. JUNIOR BASKETBALL This vear ' s team, coached by Mr. Fur¬ man, played good basketball to finish the schedule in first place. Unfortunately, in the playoffs, the team lost to Kennedy who went on to become W.S.S.A, Cham¬ pions. All but three of this year ' s team will be seniors next year, and so Mr. For¬ man must build all over again, (Continued from Page 78) ing and co-operation, cleared the way for those who did score. A few of these are Reg. Switzer Jim Reece, Bob Huggard, Murray Lynn, and. of course, George Sales, who did such a good job when needed to replace Wilson. All these boys deserve a large amount of credit. Page Kishtv-One
