Jlntrimriitatr Uaakrlltall Sram C. LYNN The Intermediates had some tough luck this year. They started off with a bang and kept up the good work. They entered the semi-finals and came off at the long end of a 17-14 score; in the final against East Calgary they met their downfall losing the trophy by the slim margin of 19-15. The game was fast, but the East Calgary girls showed their experience by piling up a score before West¬ ern found the basket. Helen Webb, defence, and Mafty Kerluke, sharp-shooting forward, were the only members of the team who had had experience in the game before. The rest, capably managed by Carman Johnson, showed they had good stuff in them and will no dqubt form an excellent Senior team next year. Team: Centre—Connie Hickson.

THE SENIOR BASKETBABLL TEAM (Cont’d) Our third game was lost to Commercial by a score of 21-19. Western put up a strong fight and for awhile the play was for us, but we lost out in the last few seconds when Commercial put in a perfect long-shot. Our next game was played on C.C.I.’s floor against C.C.I. Western played a tough game. Jessie Lees and Betty Stevenson were good matches for M. Tojl- ington of C.C.I. A game of great combination and defence was played although it led to the defeat of Western, the score being 26-12. The best game of the season was played against Crescent Heights at the Oil Exchange. Western had only six players, but they made up for the missing ones by their strong playing and excellent defence. Western lead the score through the whole game and ended up with a good score of 19-9,
