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. Don—“What did you do with the cuffs I left on the table last night?” Mother—“They were so soiled I sent them to the laundry.” Don—“Ye Gods—The entire history of England was on them.” “Norman, your school report was very bad. 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?”

BOOK Page seventy-five By BILL McLAWS This year there were only two hockey leagues, Senior and Junior. Through¬ out the season we were favored with ideal weather and good ice for all games. Although the players were very enthusiastic, the support of the students was noticeably lacking. East Calgary won the Senior division, beating Western by one point. The Junior shield went to Crescent Heights, our boys coming fourth. Juniors The Juniors also had two practices a week at the Lyceum Rink. In their first game, they met defeat at the hands of East Calgary, the score being 3-0. The next game against C.C.I. was a little more encouraging, the score being 3-1. Marshall, Hanen and Jones were our scorers. The next two games against Rideau and St. Mary’s, were both scoreless ties. In our fifth game we lost to the champions, Crescent Heights, by a score of 2-1. Our goal was scored by Garbutt. Next, we beat a weak Balmoral team by a score of 4-0, Mahood, Hoar, Marshall and Garbutt scoring for us. In our last game of the season, we tied the Technicals in a closely contested game, the score being 2-2. Our goals were scored by Marshall and Hanen. This gave us a total of seven points out of a possible fourteen. Players: Goal—Doug Smith. Defence—Ben Hanen, Jack Marshall, David Clap- perton. Forwards—Fred Irving, Fred Garbutt, Walter Johns, Harold Baker, Don Hoar, Graham Sexsmith, Allan Mahood. Seniors The Seniors got well under way before Christmas. We had two practices a week at the Lyceum Rink, but after Christmas they were not very well attended. There was excellent material, both in quantity and quality, and a very good team was chosen. We were well represented in the city leagues, having Mercer and Snowdon from the Altomahs, Langley and Minchin from the Shamrocks, and Macqueen from the Jimmies. The first game, at the North Hill Community Rink, against Crescent Heights, was a 2-2 tie. Lincoln and Wilson were the scorers. The next game, against Central, at the Crystal Rink, wa s a 3-1 victory. Mercer showed us some real hockey, scoring our three goals. The third game, against Commercial, at the Crystal Rink, was too close for comfort. Only after a hard fight did we pull out on the long end of a 4-3 score. The scorers were Wilson (2), Langley and D. McLaws. The fourth game, at the Lyceum Rink, against the Technicals, turned out to be a scoring competition for our boys. Langley won with seven goals to his credit. Wilson and D. McLaws each got two, while Blow, Lincoln and Nelson each got one, making the total 14-1. The fifth game, the roughest of the season, against St. Mary’s, at their own rink, was an easy 2-0 victory for us. Our scorers were Blow and D. McLaws. The last game against East Calgary, decided the championship. It was played on February 10th, at the Arena. The ice was excellent, and our fellows were out in full, with the exception of Snowdon. If we had even held them to a tie we would have won the shield, but due to the superior playing of Scott and Cronie, they took us into camp to the tune of 3-1. Harry Blow scored for us. Players: Goal—Jim Macqueen. Defence—Lorin Mercer, Mel Snowdon. For¬ wards—Gordon Langley, Harry Blow, Don McLaws, Bruce Wilson, Bill Mc¬ Laws, Weldon Voss, Jack Minchin, Don Lincoln, Edgar Nelson.
