BASKETBALL

Y.W.C.A. 1 V. Training College.— The game between Y.W.C.A. I and Training College was the most outstanding one played at Logan Park. Despite the fact that Y.W.C.A. gained a two-fold victory, Training College was definitely not outclassed, and offered strenuous opposition throughout. Y.W.C.A. had secured a lead of four goals when half-time was called. In the second half, however, Y.W.C.A. developed a surer combination, and accurate shooting at goal placed the team in an unassailable position. The final score was: Y.W.C.A. 24, Training College 12. Kiwi v. Albany I.— The game between Kiwi and Albany I was filled with surprises. After playing evenly in the first half Albany failed to score in the second period.

In the second Half Kiwi had greater control of the ball, and its forwards played with greater cohesion. The final score was: Kiwi 15. Albany I 4. O.G.H.S. v. University ll.— -Girls' High School enjoyed a dear victory over University 11.
