Last
night's
senior
basketball
by
st"
wlth
a
mu
W
v"7
ounce
01
game
started
slowly.
Each
team

and
into
was
playing
cautiously

the
oward
the
end
of
effort'
Kan?e-
ing
entirely
upon
individual
and
long
range
shooting.
As
usual,
of
course,
they
realized
that,
without
a
little
team
play,
it
would
be
a
very
tame
and
uninspiring
affair.
Panthers
had
tough
luck
in
their
shooting
and,
although
they
occasionally
sank
one.
It
was
soon
noticed
that
the
efforts
of
Menzies,
Ratchford
and
Ourvich
were
giving
32
a
lead
that
might
be
hard
to
overcome.
There
were
flashes
of
combination
with
Mitchell
engineering
one
or
two
pretty
endeavors
for
the
Panthers.
Both
teams
failed
to
converge
their
play
towards
the
basket.
Long
shooting,
or
even
shooting
of
any
kind,
Is
useless
unless
provision
is
made
for
snaring
the
rebounds.
And
the
Panthers
kept
losing
possession
of
the
ball
by
failing
to
make
this
safeguard.
The
half
time
score
saw
the
Taximen
comfortably
ensconsed
in
a
12-7
lead.
Resuming
play,
the
Panthers
'
turned
to
combination,
open
play
-
and
short
well-timed
passing.
Mac-.
donald,
however,
fumbled
many
passes
and
spoiled
several
fine
united
efforts
that
looked
very
dangerous.
The
Panthers
were
gradually
overtaking
their
opponents,
chiefly
due
to
the
steadying
influence
of
Mitchell
who.
after
starting
several
exciting
plays,
threw
in
a
nice
overhead
loop
and
brought
the
score
to
16-15
for
the
Taximen.
The
pace
Increased,
with
Panthers
getting
the
best
of
the
play
due
to
some
fine
work
under
the
basket
on
the
part
of
Cross.
Irvine
was
also
shooting
often
and
played
hard
but
,
managed
to
tally
only
two
field
baskets.
The
Panther
combination
now
equalled
any
that
the
C.
N.
R.
team,
which
has
led
the
way
in
organized
play,
has
ever
exhibited.
Mitchell
was
the
outstanding
player
and
scored
under
the
basket
to
put
Panthers
on
the
carefree
end
of
a
19-10
score.
S.
Ourvich
substituted
for
FrteeH
who
hadn't
been
flttbw
In
so
well,
but
it
ws
of
no
avail
After
several
really
brilliant
com
bination
efforts.
Irvine
scored
and
Crocs
dropped
1n
two
more
in
quick
succession
to
finish
the
struggle
at
25-10
for
the1
Panthers.
For
the
Taximen
Mentsss,
D.
Ourvich
and
Ratchford
were
the
test,
but

The
girls'
game
was
quite
a
hectic
battle
and
brought
forth
some
exciting
and
strenuous
play.
The
first
half
aaw
the
two
teams
evenly
matched,
battling
evenly
all
the
way
with
Lowe
showing
well
for
the
Cardinals,
and
with
Roberts
and
Harvey
strong
for
the
Comets.
In
the
second
half,
though.
Comets
lost
Steen

was
badly

Connery
subbed
for
her.
With
the4r
Opponents
thus
weakened,
the
Cardinals
hastened
to
take
their
advantage.
Lowe
went
five
field
baskets.
Irvine
and

garnered
two
more,
while
the
Comets
got
only
one
after
some
fine

by

Intermediate
Game
,
The
Intermediate
game
of
the
evening
staged
between
the
Merchants
and
the
High
School
was
alone
worth
the
price
of
admission.
A
finer
exhibition
of
real
basketball
could
hardly
be
wished
for.
The
game
was
of
lightning
speed
from
start,
to
finish.
The
teams
were
evenly
matched
and
at
no
stage
in
the
game
was
either
team
in
the
lead
by
more
than
three
points.
Referee
Bill
Mitchell
kept
the
game
clean
by
permitting
no
unnecessary
roughness.
The
players
were
so-
encouraged
game
cneering
oecame
so
grea
that
the
referee
was
obliged
to
demand
quietness
so
that
the
whistle
might
be
heard.
The
Merchants
easily
played!

season,
ineir
defence
and
forward
line
played
perfectly
together.
Their
passes
were
short
and
most
of
their
shots
were
from
under
the
basket.
As
a
result,
they
took
an
early
lead
In
the
game.
The
tremendous
speed
and
energy
displayed
by
the
Merchants
from
the
start
entitled
them
to
win.
Their
only
danger
lay
in
maintaining
this
pace
throughout
the
game.
However,
at
the
end
of
the
first
half
they
held
the
lead
by
one
point.
The
second
half
was
still
more
pectacular
thati
the
first.
The
players
were
wound
up
and
prepared
for
action.
Vance
was
a
rigid
guard
for
the
High
School
and
this
permitted
the
High
School
forwards
to
direct
almost
all
their
attention
to
shooting
and
they
took
the
lead.
For
a
period
of
ten
minutes
right
up
till
the
final
whistle
It
was
anybody's
game.
The
crowd
was
almost
mad
and
they
expressed
their
emotions
by
shrieking
and
howling
wildly.
With
less
than
two
minutes
to
play
High
School
was
In
the
lead
by
one
point,
then
Pierce
scored
for
the
Merchants
and
Comadlna
rcored
a
penalty
which
gave
the
Merchants
a
victory
by
two
points.
To
pick
out
individual
players
ronld
be
unnecessary
for
they
all
played
equally
well.
