SEVENTH BHHDE BHSHETBHLL The forty-three seventh grade boys who reported for basket ball were split up into four teams which participated in the city basket ball conference. The fourteen teams in the 7th grade con- ference were split into two leagues with two Abbott teams being placed in each league. At the close of the regular schedule, the four top teams in each league entered the championship bracket and the other teams were placed in the lower bracket. Three of the four Abbott teams qualified for the championship bracket and made a very good account of themselves against strong opposition. Mr. Mades took charge of the coaching of the Panthers and Lions while Mr. Hulmes coached the Bears and Tigers. While no championships can be claimed by the Abbott teams, the steady improvement of the teams throughout the season was very en- couraging.
