Defeats Stratford 68-7 in Basketball THE HOME PAPER Dr. Kingston Explains Why Good Friday Late Good Friday this year falls on .Ap: ril 23, which, according to Dr. H. R. Kingston, head of the department of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario, is within a day of the latest date -on which it can come on the present cal- endar. • Easter Sunday, by which the Good Friday date is calculated, explained Dr. Kingston, is the first. Sunday af- ter the first full moon following the veinal equinox. The vernal equinox (the day when the sun crosses the equator, marking the first day of spring) may occur on either ljfarch 21 or 22. When spring begins on the latter date, the first full. moon fol- lowing may occur as late as April 20: Should this date come on a Mon- day, then six days must elapse until. Easter. Sunday. Good Friday would then fall on April 24th.

Clinton RAF defeated the No. 14 B. T.C. from Stratford, 68-7 on the Clin- ton floor in a fast basketball game featured by the high scoring of Fox, Gray and Goldbloom. The game was played Wednesday night. From the opening tip-off Clinton got control of the bald and was never at any time threatened. Fox scored first for the RAF lads and from that point on it was merely 'a race to see who was to score the most points. On lay -in shots from under the bas- ket and long shots from the floor, the score rose to 24-0 before Stratford was able to break the ice on a free throw by Reidel after he had been fouled by Goldbloom. Another free throw by Beide' and one by Cuddy were the only points the Army boys were able to .score in the first half and the first period ended 36-3 for Clinton. Gray, the stocky forward of the home team, opened the second half with a long shot from near the centre of the floor . and then proceeded to put in three more baskets in quipk succession. Scaife's three, baskets aid- ed the Clinton score and it wasn't until the 'game was almost over that Ingram broke through to score Strat- ford's first basket. He followed this up with another just as the whistle ended the game. Stratford's inability to hold their passes plus the excellent checking of the Clinton boys made it almost im-• possible for the army team to score. Only four personal fouls marred) the' otherwise fast game—all the fouls be- ing against Clinton. No. .14 B. T. C. B. F.T. P.F. T.P. Cuddy 1 1 Gard Ingram 1 Savage 'Garvin Reed Reidel.
