Two extra five minute periods were required to decide the Hnal winner. The end was marred, due to a dispute that arose at the .end of the second extra session. Our quintet was leading by a sole point when Just as the whistle blew ending the contest, Jacobs, a substitute for the counsellors, managed to cage. a field goal which the referee counted. . . l The Crimson and Gold five started off in smooth. fashion when it found the net for four points, but soon slumped and allowed the opponents to forge ahead, Salz and Feinberg doing all the scoring. It looked as though the future pill vendors were in for a beating as they were behind by a count of 15 to 6 as the half ended. The second canto found the team fighting a losing battle against a much more experienced and heavier team. Firpo Berman, Pharmacy's fighting center, opened the scoring hostilities when he succeeded in working the leather down for a counter. It was immediately followed by Fistel's double. At this point the lawyers were given a few free tries and again showed the way till the final few minutes ofthe regular game. Trailing by six points, 'the embryonic pharmacists made a bril- liant spurt, managing to even the score for the first time on Beck's heave from mid-field. Here again the game assumed a nip-and-tuck aspect, the whistle finding the score knotted at 31 all. In the first five minute period Fistel gave the team a two point advantage but Salz countered when he tallied from under the basket thirty seconds before the period ended. Ohipurnoi made good for Law and Berick flunked when a double foul was called in the second overtime session. However, Berick soon redeemed himself by dribbling the length of the court- and making good on a liurriedfthrow from the side.. A few moments later Jacobs made the much disputed and deciding goal. Fichman and Fistel starred for Pharmacy the . HCOUNTH CONDE latter coming through for 14 points while Chipnr- noi and Salz lead the barristers attack. Page 226 - ixO'1 CQ?

Y., Commerce branch quintet in a game played on the field of P. S. 117. This marked the third consecutive victory for the Brooklyn boys since opening the second half of their schedule.

Captain Fichman helped the apothecaries cause along when he twirled the sphere through the basket- just as the half ended, making the score 17 to 9.

The passing of the team featured the game throughout and although fighting hard the Lavender passers were unable to cope with the big lead that our boys had compiled Beck and Fistel were the stars, accounting between them a total of 28 points.

Evening basketeers by a score of 33 to 24. Both teams played a furious game from start to finish and only superior team Work enabled the phar- macists to break a deadlock that existed until the last three minutes. Excellent passwork and airtight defense were the main reasons for our tenth victory of the season. The boys handled the leather very well and displayed a splended floor game. ' Poly started off as if they were going to clinch the game from the outset when they succeeded in scoring five points during the first few minutes. Beck finally got us started when he caged two consecutive goals. The engineers maintained their lead up to the last few seconds of the half, only to have Fistel place the druggists in front for the first time through his one hand stab from the side of the 'court making the count 10 to 9. The Livingston Street boys tried to score at the start of the second canto and took the lead once again when Raguson made a goal from midfield, however this did not last long as the Crimson and Gold soon came back in full force and took the lead once again.

After playing forty minutes of defensive basket- ball, the Violet machine. managed to nose out our embryonic druggists by a lone point, the final tally being 23 to 22, half of each team's ,final total being scored from the fifteen foot line. The contest itself was somewhat of a novelty affair, in fact turning out to be an all Eastern District High School game. Four of the players being alumni of that institution, three of whom were captains in their heyday. Fistel and Fichman of our team and Putterman of the opposition with Slutsky, although not a former leader were the mainstays. To start matters off in a real Brooklyn fashion, Fichman dribbled through the entire New York quintet for the first marker of the night. It seemed that the budding pharmacists at this point were elated with their first tally and instead of rolling up the score contented themselves in closely guarding their opponents. Finally, after an indeinite period fo scrimmage, Putterman tallied and was closely followed by his teammates, who proceeded to roll up one point after another despite the determined defense of our basketeers. The first half found the Washington Square team aheadby 12 to 7. H Trailing by Hve points, our athletes tried their utmost to overcome the winner's advantage and succeeded in doing so temporarily when they tied the count a few minutes before the final whistle. The contest here narrowed down into a nip-and- tuck affair, the New York team forging ahead when the Brooklynites failed to keep in time, when their share of foul tries were given them. Beck and Fichman were the whole works for our team. They were aided by Berick, who, although not figuring much in the scoring, played a great defensive game. S Double Foul In Last Minute Spells .
