The Men’s Basketball Club<br />
HIS year the Men’s Basketball Club enjoyed one <strong>of</strong> the best seasons<br />
JL in its history. Much <strong>of</strong> the success was undoubtedly due to having<br />
a sufficient number <strong>of</strong> members to handle the executive end <strong>of</strong> the Club.<br />
Four teams were entered in the Vancouver and District League,<br />
but unfortunately the Intermediate A” team was unable to complete its<br />
schedule and consequently lost its franchise. The Senior A” turned<br />
out its wonder team which finished the season well at the head <strong>of</strong> the<br />
league at the expense <strong>of</strong> the other teams. During the Christmas holidays<br />
the team took a short trip to Nanaimo to keep in shape. Needless to say<br />
the boys displayed some <strong>of</strong> their sterling basketball as well as enjoying<br />
themselves in a very thorough manner. The team has certainly put their<br />
heart into it this year and deserve every bit <strong>of</strong> success in the play-<strong>of</strong>fs<br />
and any efforts towards further laurels. Until the last moment the<br />
prospects <strong>of</strong> the Senior B” team were very bright, but their inability to<br />
overcome the Pals, cost them a place in the finals. At the time <strong>of</strong> writing<br />
the Intermediate B” team after a very successful season had won the first<br />
game <strong>of</strong> the play<strong>of</strong>fs and looked like the winning team.<br />
The executive <strong>of</strong> the Club was made up <strong>of</strong> the following men:<br />
President, Harry Thorne; Vice—President, Laurie Nicholson; Secretary-<br />
Treasurer, Jack Streight; Business Manager, Arnold Cliff; Team Manager,<br />
Lorne Falconer.<br />

Senior “A” Basketball<br />
TH0RNE—President. Harry has been the man behind the scenes for the<br />
Basketball Club this year.<br />
DR. MONTGOMERY—Coach. His second year with the squad, and his<br />
untiring efforts have put the team on top.<br />
DR. THORPE—Physician. The superior condition <strong>of</strong> the team has pulled<br />
them through more than one game. The credit for this is due to<br />
Doc. Thorpe.<br />
FALc0NER—Manager. Lorne’s help in filling out the tenth man in early<br />
morning practices has made him one <strong>of</strong> the gang.<br />
CLIFF—Business Manager. Arnie has looked after the home games for<br />
the team, also he was a big help in Nanaimo.<br />
HENDERSON—Captain. A forty minute man with lots <strong>of</strong> experience<br />
to back his game. He jumped centre and dropped back to defensive<br />
guard.<br />
CHAPMAN—Robbie and his “hiss’ have created a sensation in more than<br />
one game; his blocking and passing have made him a valuable team<br />
man.<br />
