Barnum and Young for liant Display of Basketball --"Tiny" Douglas Stars for Visitors -- U. T. Now Enter Fourth Round of High School Playdowns After a most illustizous season, Oshawa Collegiate was yesterday afternoon eliminated from the run- ning of the Ontario High Schools basketball championship playdowns when they were again defeated by the strong University of Toronto Schools' quintette, this time by a 25 to 19 score, as contrasted to the one sided 48 ta #0 verdict which was hung up in the first game of the series played in Tor- onto last Wednesday. Again the attendance record was broken, the gymmasium and bal- cony heing entirely filled, and again the crowd was repald by an- other of the fast and exciting games such as have made the en- tire season such a successful one from a loeal standpoint despite the fact that the local boys have now been put out of the running, Although U.T.S. brought with them from Toronto an eighteen point lead, the local hoys went on the floor determined to do or die in their attempt to rezain an even standing and to win both the game and the round. From the very first they launched an aggree- | sive and dangerous attack but in the U,T.8, five man defensive con- struction they had always some- thing to contend against whieh was no easv obstacle to overcome. U.T.8., moreover, probahly heliev- ing ifn the maxim that a strong offensive is a good defensive, hore in just as strongly as did Oshzwa in their guest for baskets ana never let up any more than did Oshawa in their basket seeking all through the game. In the first period the score see-sawed from one team tn the other as each found an opening of swhich they were quick tn take even the slightest advantage, Several minutes elapsed hefore the first hasket was made and it was some time after that before the next one followed to keep it company.

Kingston Collegiate in home and day of next week. Havinz now been declared winners of Torouto and District they are considered a likely team for the finals where they deserve the best of luck af- ter thelr exhibition in the two games with Oshawa Collegiate. The line ups were: Oshawa Colleglate--right for- ward, Young (8); left forward, Gummow (6); centre, Hubbell (2); right guard, Barnum (1); left guard, Baird (2); subs, Kohen Crothers, Davidson and Smith. U.T.S.--right forward, Coles (2); left center, Douglas (10); right guard, Marshall (2): left guard, MeDon- nell (4); subs, Whidden, Hicks, Ashdown and Smith. Referee--Perey Millar, both managed the hoop, while Marshall scored in a similar manner for U.T.S, Field baskets in this half went to Young, Gummow and Hubbell for {| Oshawa and to Coles and MeDon- nell tor the visitors. Although t'. T.8. were aheathseveral times dur- ing the period, the score at the end of the half was 10 to 9 for | Oshawa and with this offering them some little condolence they entered the last half with a ru {newed hope and their same old | bep. For several minutes in this halt | they held their lead and in 'act | strengthened it but slowly it then | began to diminish with U.T.S, (sending in both long shots and {those fronr close in under the bas- | ket with a machine like regularity. Fletcher at left forward for them stood out on the long shooting. while Douglas, their over-sized center player, found it a mere de- tail for him to take care of the shots from in around the basket, | despite the apparent protestations | | Oshawa, however, Toronto 1 raining Camp Gossip | home games Wednesday and Satur- | forward, Fletcher (7): {from the O.C.I. guards.

Baseball should have a banner season this year, with many new faces in town, and rumors that several star ball tossers will be on hand when the season rolls around. The same teams will probably be operating in the Oshawa and district league, and it is certain that Oshawa will have both junior and in- termediate teams. Bowmanville, Port Hope, Cobourg, Orono and Whitby are expected to field strong teams again this summer, The Ontario Regimen; is staging another boxing show on Friday, March 23, and ten more good bouts will be carded. The promoters are now trying to land a strong pair of heavyweights from Toronto, who if landed will be a real attraction. The rest of the the card uniformly goes with the two stand-out bouts be- tween Frankie Brown and Jimmy Leonard, and Billy Putwain and Ray Stephenson. Putwain hails from the St. James A.C. and has heen seen here, and is known as a real performer. Stephenson lias yet to lose a decision here. The bout between Brown and Leonard will be sure to be filled with *'tobasco" as Lou Marsh would say. In fact the only thing left to make this a real show would be the same Lou as the third man in the ring Detroit and Pittsburgh are now fighting hard to get in the play-offs, with the honors about even. They each play two games over the week end, and in one of them will meet, This should provide a hectic encounter, Detroit was thought away out of the contention at the first of the season, but Jack Adams, ex-St. Pats' and Senators' star, proved what could be done with indifferent players and smart management. He was algo fortunate to secure George Hay from the Chicago Black Hawks, who played listless hockey for Chicago, but took on a new lease of life under Adams. and now is ranked with the leading wing men in the N.H.L. No disgrace was Oshawa Collegiate's yesterday afternoon to hyve been defeated and eliminated from the Ontario Interscholastic cham pionship running by the University of Toronto Schools. USS, is an all boys school with an enrolment which boarders around the 1,000 mark as contrasted to the grand total off some 350 hoyvs who attend the local Collegiate to say nothing of the advantage UTS. has of hand icking her students and consequently her athletes, In their basket- hall team this year, U.T.S. has a championship aggregation and the team that is good enough to say with that they're not with the cold facts of a superior score will indeed be a wonder team This has been a banner year for basketball at Oshawa Collegiate with the senior team going through to the third round of the cham pionship play-downs and up until Jast Wednesday never mecting with a defeat although they were up against such strong teams as North To- ronto, Runnymede and McMaster University. They have turned in eight actual victories and won two more by default while the total num ber of points they have scored morc than doubles the number scored against them by their opponents. 15 at Something which boarders on the realm of sport and which least certain of drawing a large following of the sporting fraternity 1 the combined gymnasium display which is being put on at the local Collegiate gymnasium on Thursday and Friday nights of next weck It embraces the activities of both the boys and the girls in the school and beyond a doubt it will be one of the best exhibitions ever put on in Oshawa.
