FROM REGULARS
Boys and Girls Of Former Yeats
Play Basket Ball Games.

The largest crowd of basketball
enthusiasts that has assembled this
season congregated last Friday even
ing in Wyanoke hall to witness the
double-header between the boys and
girls teams of the high school and
those of the Alumni association. Both
of the Alumni teams triumphed over
the undergraduates.
The girls teams opened up the even
ing's entertainment and despite their
necessarily more stringent rules, they
kept their game on the move all the
time, due to the excellent refereeing
and previous coaching of Miss Peck
ham. Every player was as serious as
i Samson when he pushed over the
proverbial pillars. The first half
ended six to five in favor of the
alumni girls. The lead might have
been greater but for Miss Gertrude
Clarke's splendid guarding. In the
second half. which was played be-
tween the periods of the boys game,
! the alumni seemed to have even bet
ter luck in finding the basket and
| just doubled their score. Miss Marion
| Williams, of the high school sextet,
was the only undergraduate player
who was in anywise sure of her shots
She secured three field and two foul
throws which constituted the entire
tally of her team. Miss Marguerite
Douglas and Miss Edith Decker did
all the scoring for the alumni girls.
The final score was IL to s.
In the boys game was seen some
of the best playing of the season.
Bob" Clarke, who played centre
for the school team last year, was
In the same old position and the
same old form but in the opposite
side of the ring. Bob didn't seem
to be troubled by Heavy Harry
Mitchell in the least and the way he
tossed the leather sphere into the
basket was very similar to feeding
peanuts to an elephant. Bob's old
; time one arm manipulation was in
splendid working order. big Bill
Mcintyre also had the same control
of the ball and the way those two
worked the transportation business
would have made Napoleon sit up and
take notice. Clarke found the basket
no less than eighteen times. Russell
Moody, who worked the clever tactics
; in partnership with Clarke and Book
oven on the high school team last
year, was in the same position for

same old faculty of finding the op-
perfume moment for a shot, making
nine attempts successful. Reginald
Moody came third with six goals to
his credit.
Clarence Meyers was undoubtedly
the star of the high school team and
Is proving worthy successor to
Les" Bockoven. Despite the fact
that he was pitted against "'Big Bill
he led the spectacular shooting fo,
the high school team securing twenty
out of their thirty-three points. Nit
chen seemed to have had his eyes
on the basket also and though he
couldn't check Clarke's bombardment
! he retaliated by making five of the
cieanest throws of the evening. Gun

valuable defensive game. Barka

and found the basket once out of sew
