How’s this for innovative reporting from the Green and Gold (the University of Alberta’s yearbook)? “Peppy Butchart returns from a year’s layoff to captain the Bears. He kept the boys on their toes, but he also led the team in scoring, and with the exception of two games was high individual scorer. Paired with Butchart on the forward line was Keith Muir. Keith has played real games of basketball in the past, but this year’s play ranks him high. Any basketball team is fortunate if they possess a centre with brains, and the ability to use them. In Parney, the U of A had such a man. As the keystone of the attack his judgment in passing was admirable, and in breaking up the opposing offensive his basketball ability was pronounced. On defence, Tesky and McAllister made miserable the life of the opposing forwards. In the past two years, Teskey has greatly improved. With his natural athletic physique, his steady, solid defensive playing marks him a guard of the first water. He well earned his moniker ‘the rebound King’ by his almost uncanny ability to get possession of the rebounds. To round out the first five, we write the name of McAllister, nomen ipse loquor.” …………………………………………………… Alberta defeated Saskatchewan 62-30 and 49-26. …………………………………………………… In the first match, Alberta broke to a 21-0 lead before Huskie Horton Chanell hit a free throw. The Bears led 33-12 at the half. Keith Muir paced Alberta with 20. Butchart added 18, Parney 12, Teskey 6, Jawn MacAllister 2, Bures 2 and Baker 2. Chanell led Saskatchewan with 11. Percy Maguire added 8, Curly Taylor 5, Vern DeGeer 4 and manager Al Blair 2. …………………………………………………… In the second match, Alberta bombed Saskatchewan 49-26 and then embarked immediately by train on an overnight express to Winnipeg. …………………………………………………… Manitoba played only one game. They defeated Alberta 30-28 but used an ineligible player and so were forced to forfeit the game. The score was added up but did not include a basket that had been scored by Alberta that the referee had neglected to enter. The referee said the discrepancy should have been noted earlier and awarded the game to Manitoba. But league officials eventually ruled that the title should be awarded to Alberta because Manitoba refused to travel west. In the 30-28 match, Charles Campbell paced Manitoba with 12. Solly Thorwaldson added 8, Buck Storey 8 and Chester Clark 2, while Price Rattray and Bill Scott were scoreless. Butchart led Alberta with 16. Muir added 4, Parney 4, Bures 2 and McAllister 2, while Baker and Teskey were scoreless.
