12' THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. March The game in general, but particularly the sec- ond quarter, showed too much ball control, and not enough shooting. In the third quarter the breaks were going against Bayview. With the breaks in their favor, Bayview could have scored an additional 8-10 points. Bayview again outscored Thornlea in the fourth quarter, which was enough to gain them a tie.‘ In the overtime period, Thornlea grabbed a quick \six point lead. Bayview fought back, but the best uhey could manage was three points. The in- termediates start their playoffs this week, with the opposiltion being this same Thornlea team. O- T p scoreris in this game for Bayview were John lsson 22, and Henry Kattenberg with 14. jiere is a quarter by quarter breakdown of the For the last 2:29 Thornlea used the stall tactic, which has been widely used in US. colleges lately. With only 10 seconds to go Thornlea decided to shoot, but all three of their attempts failed, and this sent the game into overtime. Both teams exchanged baskets, but, as soon as Thornlea took the lead, they went back to freezing the ball. V This time they controlled the ball for almost half of the overtime period. Bayview, partly because of desperation, and partly from anger, committed quite a few fouls in the dieing seconds. A win in this game would have assured Bayview of a playoff spot, but now they will have to fight for one. As of the writing of this, the team Bayview will play is un- known, but there is a good chance that it will be Thornlea again. RHupHuS talks about SPORTS Bayview 43. Thornlea 45 This game was a good example of complete boredom, for the first quarter at least. The first field goal was sunk more than five minutes into the game, with Bayview doing the honors. The first quarter showed a lot of passing and ball control, with only a limited amount of shooting. This was the style which prevailed through both the second and third quarters. The fourth quarter was particularly slowed down by too much ball control. Thornlea outscored Bayview 10-4, which put the game at a Ail-41 tie. I 11", L3,, in this game welie Jim Campbell 15, and Larry Mansbridge nine. ' Here is a quarter by quarter breakdown of the Bayview 46. 'l‘hornlea 49 Thornlea, the only team to beat. first place Thornhill, came in to take on Bayview. The last time‘ these two teams met, Bayview won, but only after they went into overtime. This game also went into overtime, but Thornlea came out the victors. The difference in the first quarter was the amount of foul shots attempted, and the number of them that were sunk. Thornlea was 4-8 from the line, while Bayview hit 1-7. scoring : Thornlea Bayview- SENIORS INTERMEDIATES: JUNIORS: Bayview 33, Thornlea 28 The first quarter showed both teams with bad passing, and consequently the ball went out of bounds quite often. Even though both teams to- gether scored 20 points in the second quarter, erratic shooting was evident on both teams. The third quar- ter contained a large amount of fouls, so neither team had much of a chance at scoring field goals. Bayview were not impressive this game, as the score would indicate. Bayview’s opposition in the semi- finals are unavailable at the writing of this column. Tom McRae led all Bayview scorers with 12 points. scormg: Thornlea Bayview Friday.

A win would have left them in sole possession of third place, behind Woodbridge. High scorers for the game were Tim McGhie of Richmond Hill and Bob McIntyre of Langstaff. each with 25 points. ‘ February 19 -â€" The Bayview intermediates must play the same type of comeback game as their seniors. as they were down at the half, but picked up to win the game 53 to 30.

JUNIORS With basketball headed for the playoffs, a new form of physical education has taken over in the school. Gymnastics is a completely different type of activity, centering itself around the individual, in contrast to the team efforts of volleyball and basket- ball. Agility, flexibility. strength, and above all grace oflmovement are the goals of the high school gymnast. Attention to the amount of control in the execution of all moves is also very important.
