In the SIBL, McGill opted not to play, choosing instead to play in a Montreal city intercollegiate league. That left five teams in the league. The title was captured by Western with a (7-1) record. Shortly before the season began, McGill reach an agreement with the league under which it would play Queen’s, Toronto and McMaster and if their winning percentage was equal to either the first or second place teams in the final standing then they have would have the right to play off with the second-place team, unless one of these two teams is one which they have already met. If this was the case then they lose their playoff right. …………………………………………………… Toronto edged host McGill 55-51. …………………………………………………… Queen’s edged McGill 43-41. …………………………………………………… Host Queen’s dumped McGill 54-46 as Price scored 12 and Denny Bozic 10.

The university’s athletic director, Warren Stevens, said poor gate receipts for the football team left the department with little option. He also indicated that the players would have to dip into their own pockets to pay for the trip, or default the games. Stevens told the Varsity that the athletic directorate would pay the travel costs of the hockey team, rather than the basketball team, because “it was the decision of the Directorate that the hockey team had tried much harder over the season than the other teams and consequently deserved to have its two remaining games. In addition, they feel that it is their duty to the faithful fans of the Hockey team.” The basketball Blues apparently raised the money for they subsequent travelled West, losing 78-53 to Windsor and by an identical 78-53 to Western.

In a battle of tough zone defences, the game was tied at 30 at the half. Windsor coach Hank Biasatti said his team was thrown off by Western’s use of the zone. It kept “us off balance,” Biasatti told the Windsor Star.
