He was our guiding light and his inspiring force urged the team on to bigger and better effortsf There is still another whomnwe can not forgetfour own Smiling Joe Baum, '22, who whipped the quintet into shape. His straight forwardness will not be forgotten, and his gratituous coaching will always stand out among the great deeds and services of the alumni. With a nucleus of but two first' string men and three substitutes, Smiling Joe built up a fighting cage team that will bring back fond-memories. He, in his own characteristic way instilled the We have just begun to fight spirit into our men. We revere him for-all that he did, and hope that he will be with us for many years. Pharmacy Beats Jamaica Training ln Its Opening Game 4 THE BASKETBALL season was duly ushered in on Tuesday evening Novem- ber 23rd., 1926, Jamaica Training School for Teachers supplying the opposi- tion. The game, was played atthe One Hundred and Sixth Infantry Regiment Armory, as a preliminary to the American League basketball clash between Brook- lyn and Philadelphia, the former's franchise now being held by the Celtics. The Pharmacy rooters, who formed no small part of the crowd of 4,000 which watched the proceedings were pleased with the finished manner in which our team performed. Although the boys won. by a comparatively small score, 25 to 16, they completely outclassed the Queens athletes in every phase of the game. Taking the lead from the outset, the wearers of the Crimson and Gold held it-to the finish, despite the fact that the embryonic teachers led by Nucatola, former Newtown basketball and baseball, luminary, tried its best to overcome this advantage. Whitey Beck with three field goals and two fouls was the out- standing star of the court tilt. Dutch Fistel, who has turned out to be one of the most consistent scorers in the college history closely followed with a total of seven points. Captain Fichman's floor work and passing were the features of the game and were big factors in the victory I WHO TAUGHT Jamaica Training Brooklyn College of Pharmacy G. F. P. ' G. F. P.

C. N. Y., Evening, supplied the next opposition and was on the receiving end of a 27 to 17 drubbing. Brooklyn led through- out the entire contest and at halftime was out in front by a 12'to 8 score. To start matters evenly both teams broke into the scoring column on free throws at the start. After some preliminary scrimmaging, Coach- Baum's charges proceeded to work the leather into their opponents backyard where it remained for the rest of the tussle, except for the few City College flourishes. ' The Lavendar squad found it a toughproposition to penetrate the brilliant Pharmacy defense, but were exceptionally accurate from the foul line, and realized on eleven efforts, eight of which came in the first session. It was not until the latter part of the fray that the New Yorkers were able to score from the field, and those 'were made in a spectacular manner. As in the past games Beck, Fistel and Fichman were the outstanding lumins aries, tallying and dribbling around the entire City team with consummate ease. Whitey and Dutch did the most scoring for us, thelatter making three baskets and one foul, while the former combined the same total of goals plus foul tries for an aggregate sum of ten points.
