VITIi-YGracls Overcome Navy Lead To Capture City Hoop Title Second Straight Time

Displaying a. brilliant pasting at. tack in the first 15 minutes of the opening period that enabled them to pile up a big lead and then staging a game comeback in the final min- utes of the second session, after their opponents had come within an ace of tieing the count, Hi-Y Grads last night retained their City Basketball Title, when they defeated the Navy five 43-26 1n the second game of the two-game total-points series, the victory giving them the round 15-611." The champions had lost the opening encounter 36-32.

Last night's encounter, played on the Holy Name Club floor, produced everything that was expected o; it. Fast, clever basketball was displayed and at the same time it‘ was a. mighty rugged brand of the“ lioop game. Navy. carrying a big weigtt advantage, had all the better of his phase of the game. but what the winners lacked in weight they more than made up for in gameness and stout-heartedness.

On the night's play- the better team won.. Grads passing attacks were clicking, this being especially true of the first 15 minutes of the game, and their opponents were lit- eruily dazzled. Navy, however, kept striving desperately, all through the piece, and their great comeback in the second period although failing short had the packed house cheer- ing {or them to knot the series.

The opening period was but 30 oeconds old when Hl-Y Grads re- duced the Navy lead to one point, Walter Goss sinking a foul shot and field goal in quick succession, but Gaudet/s basket on McMahons re- bound made it 3-2. Mclearfs foul attempt ran the count to 4-2, Con- nolly evening the game's count with a field goal. For the next l0 minu- tes Grads, bewildering their oppon- ents with a brilliant passing attack, made the game score read 19-4, and at this point had a seven-point lead on the series. Navy took time out and as play was resumed, Gaudet added two points to his team's total on a lone effort. Gcss’ two quick field goals made it 23-6 and Mc- Lean's foul throw gave the Grads another point. Gaudct, McMahon and Mclsaac accounted for 8 Navy points as the "Sailors" began to fathom their opponents attack, Mor- ris sandwiching one‘ inbetween for the Grads, to leave the score 26-14 at the rest period.

After McLean had sunk a field goal a minute after the second per- iod got underway, Navy turned on the pressure so hard that with sev- en minutes to go, the game's count was 33-20 and the round score 65-62. Saunders, who had been out of the

' game up‘ to this point, Connolly and McMahon were outstanding durinz the Navy rally and Grads seemed to be tiring rapidly. However, they took a new lease on life in the re- maining time and again took com- mand of the playMorris, Cox, Goss and McLean garnering l ten points between them in the remaining time znmake the score read 43-26 at full

10.1’. By Guardhn’; Special Wire) WLNDSC- , Ont" April 24—Ed- monton ads completed their con- qurst of Canadian women's basket- ball teams when they defeated Windsor-Walkervilie Alumnae 44- 31 heretonigbt. Grads thus made a clean sweep of finals, winning three straight to account for their 12th conscutive national tithe.

The game, which failed to meas- ure up to the thrill producing qual- ities of first two, was marked by close rugged checking, Alumnae ap- parently adopting these tactics in a. last, futile effort to stop their rivals.

Even the absence of the brilliant. _"Babe" Bclanger failed to have any marked effect upon the scor- ing proficiency of the Grads, al- though it gave Coach J. Percy Page an opportunity to use his three subs. Mabel Munion went to guard to release the veteran Gladys Fry for duty on the forward line and her foul shooting was of hiZh or- der, registering three points in four attempts. Miss Belanger suffered a sprained ankle in the second game.

No fewer than four players were injured during the course of the game. two of them, Hester “Bill" Churchill, regular centre of Alum- nae and Capt. Margaret MacBum- ey being forced to leave the game. The other two. Reno Dominato, Al- umnae alternate and the tall Noel MacDonald remained in the game. The Alumnae player was stopped short.‘ when she oollieded with Miss Munton while chasing a loose ball and it took a. minute or so to rc- vivn her. Miss MacDonald was jab-

Again in the third quarter Grads registered seven points to their op- ponents’ six to lead 32-19 while the teams matched point for point in the final, each scoring an even dozen.

The husky right hsnder display- ed some of his best work since 1938 as he set the Bostonians down with three hits and belted home one of the runs himself as the Giants concentrated all their scoring off Flint Rhemin the third inning.

OIGRATULATIONK an due Iii-Y Grads on their reten- tion of the City badtetbali

title last night as they dashed the hopes of the Navy five‘ for the sec- ond straight time. Grads were highly deserving of their victory; they played like the champions they are and their opponents real- izing that they were beaten by a better team were the first to con- gratulate them, a fact which speaks volumes for their sports- manship. '

O I O

N FACT THE IERIE was play- ed with the l‘ of sports- manship prevailing. 'l'.‘rue, the games were hard fought and rug- ged throughout and tempers were on edge nearly every minute of both games but nothing outside of the usual fouls took place though at times the players had‘ to use plenty of will-power to keep out

of unnecessary arguments,

I U I

Y 111117113. VICTORY last night Grads certainly proved that when they are "clicking" it

takes a mighty good team to stop them. Their display in the first fifteen minutes last night had even the most partisan Navy foi- lower applauding their efforts so clever were their attacks, and then their comeback in the final minutes of the game when it look- ed as if the Navy were going to pullthe game out of the fire also drew plenty of commendation. O t l

AKEN ALL IN ALL the series was fouRht between two clev- er, evenly matched and game

teams with plenty of ability on both rosters and it seems too bad that local teams don't see the way clear to register their players at the beginning of the season and make the ultimate winners eligible for the intermediate playdowns. O U O

the evident picking up of in- tcrest in the hoop game. Last night's game was witnessed by the i largest crowd of the season and to say they were satisfied would be putting it mildly. And it may not l be long before the players who have been endeavorlng the past years to put basketball on the map will have their efforts realized- Let's hope so anyway, o - o

ND NOW A WORD about the losers. Navy lost nothing in defeat, They proved conclus-

ively that they could “take it". Any team, no matter in what branch of sport they are compet- ing, that can make a comeback like the losers did last night has plenty of courage and fight. Faced with a 12 point lead entering the final twenty minutes which was increased to 16 before 2 minutes had elapsed, Navy put on a rally that had the Grads hanging on the ropes. But their almost super- human efforts took its toll of en- durance and in the final min- utes they were a mighty tired bunch of boys. From then on it was all Hi-Y. The Navy had given of their best but it wasn't Just quite good enough. I I I
