scheduled game against our Eagles. This proved to be the Eagles ' night as they jumped into an early lead and held it all the way, overwhelming the Royals. High scorer for the Eagles was Allan Mulhall with eleven points. The McLeod Series, the annual basketball competition between Weyburn and Estevan Collegiate, opened at Estevan on February 20. The W. C. I. boys were after their first McLeod Series victory since 1958. A thirteen car motorcade of Eagle rooters travelled to Estevan to cheer them on in their quest. However, Estevan proved too tough as they put up a spirited fight in defense of the cup and sent the Eagles down to defeat 42-33. Being down only nine points in the total point series, the Eagles were still confident that they could come out on top in the second game. This game was played in the W. C. I. gym on February 22. The contest was rugged and tempers flared at times, but the Eagles put on a thrilling last quarter surge to defeat the E. C. I. boys 38-34. This however, was not enough and Estevan retained the cup for another year. JUNIOR BOYS ' BASKETBALL W.jC. I. fielded a junior basketball team again this year.
