fifty-eight YE All laspball Early in the spring of 1932 the girls began clamoring for a baseball league in Western Canada. This was rapidly formed and several interesting games played. Unfortunately, owing to examinations and weather conditions, the sched¬ ule was not completed. It is hoped that next year the enthusiasm of the girls will result in another and more successful Baseball League in Western Canada. A team was formed by the girls which represented the school in several very closely fought exhibition games with Central and Commercial. The team: Merle Voss, Connie Hickson, Dorothy Shackleton, Helen Webb, Ruth Turnbull, Mafty Kerluke, Margaret Clutterbuck, Ena Youngblood, Nora Williams, Rachel Porter, Jessie Lees. (Girls’ Atljlrtir iFtrlb Mi ' rt 1932 The second Girls’ Field Day was held at the new Mewata Stadium in the spring of 1932. It was a very successful event with many enthusiastic fans cheer¬ ing frantically for their respective schools. Crescent Heights, winning three Class T itles, ran away with the honors to win the A. B. Singleton cup. Western Canada duplicated last year’s feat to finish in third place. 1. Crescent Heights . 51 1 3 points 2. Commercial .. 22 3 4 points 3. Western Canada ... 16 7 10 points Two hundred athletes, representing ten High schools of the city competed in the meet. It is hoped that this year the efforts of the Western Canada Girls’ team will meet with more success and will bring Western Canada up to first place. “A” Class.—Western Canada was unfortunate in gaining no points in this class. The lack of Grade IX girls in the school causes a shortage in material for Class “A.” “B” ( ' lass—In “B” Class the only points for Western Canada were gained by Sarah Goodman in the High Jump (five girls tied for first place) 2 1 5 points. “C” Class—In “C” Class Western Canada entries were more successful. 76-yard Dash (second heat), 3rd—June Baker, Western Canada (not in final). Running Broad Jump, 4th—Jessie Lees, Western Canada. High Jump, 1st—Alice Ainsley, Western Canada; 2nd—Jessie Lees, Western Canada; P. Reid, Commercial, a tie. Basketball Throw—1st—Mafty Kerluke, Western Canada, 1414 points. Total—16 7 10 points. (Eiu inttnr Haatahall (Team This year the Senior Basketball League has developed into a close race be¬ tween Western Canada, Central, Commercial and Crescent Heights. All these teams are playing a clever brand of basketball equal to that provided by many of the city league teams. Mr. Bill Dingle, Follies’ Coach, has taken over the coach¬ ing duties of the team, and has developed them into a very well-balanced squad who stand an excellent chance of returning the cup to Western.

Page sixty YEAR Senior HaaUrtball ®?am—(Corn’d) Right Guard—Helen Webb—She has four years experience in the School league and has played for the Wittichens this season. Helen is the captain of the team and a hard checking guard. Left Guard—Mafty Kerluke—With a great deal of experience and a natural ability for Basketball, Mafty is one of the stars of the team, both on defence and attack. Betty Black—Betty fills in at centre in a very capable manner and scores many of our baskets. Marjorie Bagnall—Marjorie came up from last year’s Intermediates to assist our Seniors in the guard line. Sarah Goodman—A good speedy forward. Junior Basketball (Seam This year the Juniors were fortunate in securing George Dean, coach of the Red Wing team in the City league, as their coach, and have improved remarkably under his direction. Although not successful in many of their games, the Juniors present a well-balanced club which should go far towards attaining the cup next year. As usual, the team is very greatly handicapped by lack of a suitable floor for practice, and also by the fact that their home games are played at Central. Nevertheless they present a peppy squad. The team: Right Forward—Emily Irving is the captain and right forward of the team. As well as playing a clever game, “Em” does a great deal as captain of the team in arranging games and practices. Left Forward—Betty Boyd—Betty is an excellent shot and fits in well with the forward line. Centre—Frances Crawford—She generally gets the tip-off and is a speedy drib¬ bler. Should develop into a clever player. Right Guard—Margaret Hayden—Marg. is a clever guard who also aids materially in the forward line. She is a player who shows great promise. Left Guard—Gwen Driver—Gwen and Marg. team up to form an impregnable de¬ fence. Jean Gordon—In her first year of Basketball, Jean is rapidly becoming one of the best guards on the team. Lena Hambling—Another Junior guard. Sheila McLellan—Sheila is becoming a very good forward. Betty Burwash—Betty came from King Edward’s Intermediates to aid the defence of the Juniors. Bowling This year the “Alley Cats” of Western, rolled to a successful finish by defeat¬ ing the “Live Wires” of Commercial High in a closely contested game. Twelve teams composed the league; entries being from Commercial, Garbutts, Mount Royal College and Western. The “Alley Cats” commanded the lead from the first and maintained this position throughout the season, winning finally by forty-six pins. The three teams from Western were captained by D. Splane, B. Besen and G. Bass. On the winning team were D. Splane, C. Balsdon, M. Blatchford and H. Hodsmythe. C. Balsdon brought more honor to his team by being “high man.” Much credit is. due this team, for it is the first time in three years that West¬ ern has won the “League” in bowling.
