There is noth- ing like good snappy basketball to give a round smooth beautiful curve to your Adam's apple. If you don't play this fast game you'll soon be able to hang your hat on it.

Owing to the situation of the C.
C. l. during the winter, inter-school sports are practically nil and there- fore sports between student teams in the school are very popular. Bas- ketball is the main attraction from January to March. Prac.tically all the boys play and they are graded into two classes, Junior and Senior and a schedule drawn up. The w~nning teams have their names engraved on the shield in the upper hall.
Both sections played double sched- ules and at the end of the rounds the stand~ng was as follows:

lead of two points in the second half which they clung to tenaciously until the final whistle. Score Clark 6, and Sproule's 4.
The next game was for the Senior championship.
Newby's team early in the gamP- piled up a commanding lead with the aid of their leading scorer, Currie. At half time the score stood Newby 14, Storey 6.
During the second half the Storey- ites broke away and by playing steady basketball gained on their opponents until they gained the lead. Game ended Store 21, Newby 18.
Much of Storey's success was due to Miron's and Storey's strong de- fensive playing.
