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. Guards—Helen Webb, Betty MacMillan, Isolena Rogers, Helen Hairsine. Forwards—Mafty Kerluke, Marjorie Bagnall, Sarah Goodman, Anne Marks, Hilda Clarke. 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,

BOOK Page seventy-three laskptlmll Western Canada Juniors HELEN WEBB Although Western Canada Juniors were not successful in any of their games, yet they put up some plucky fights and with more experience on larger floors should develop into future stars for Western. Much enthusiasm was shown by the girls with the result that Mr. Johnson, in order to play all of the seventeen girls, chose three teams which alternated on the floor. The Team: Centres—Eleanor Adolph—Eleanor is the centre and captain of her team. She is playing her first year basketball and does much to hold the team to¬ gether. Other Centres—Rhoda Porter, Alyce Ainslie. Guards—Bernice Gordon—Our star guard who prevents innumerable baskets. Margaret Macfarlane—Another good guard, teams up well with Bernice to form an excellent defence. Other Guards—Dorothy Boucher, Gwen Britton, Betty Johnston and Muriel Harvey. Forwards—Frances Hustwayte—Frances is the leading scorer of the team. Audrey Baxter—Petite Audrey is certainly small c and fast. She teams up well with the rest of the forward line. Other Forwards—Mildred Patton, Elaine Harding, Lucy Vanderhoorn and Doris Newman.

Do you know that when R. B. Bennett was your age he was at the top of his class?” “Yes, Pa, and when he was your age he was Premier of Canada.” I i I Manager—“We need brains in this business, sir.” Chaston (the timed applicant)—“I know that; the business shows it.” Frankie—“I’ve just made a date with a swell guy over the ’phone.” Dot—“Who was it?” Frankie—“Heavens, I forgot to ask.” ♦ ♦ ♦ Angry Father—“Weren’t you kissing my daughter when I disturbed you?” Mercer—“Yes. Have you any apology to offer?”
