University Club Has Rough Night N AGGRESSIVE Brooklyn College of Pharmacy team was beaten out 23 to 21 by the University Club five in an extra period -game. The- club team had more than a little trouble in downing the representatives of our institution, as the score indicates. The combat was so closely contested throughout, that three points was the biggest margin that separated the quintets during the entire game. Windisch opened the proceedings when he caged a line throw from scrimmage. Taking a pass from Fichman, Beck retaliated to tie the score. Both teams went on the defensive soon, thereby slowing up the contest considerably. After some preliminary skirmishing, Beck again tore through for his second goal, and, at this juncture, University began to heave the sphere from all angles of the court, the contest seefsawing for the rest of the session ' which finally ended with the clubmen showing the way by 111 to 10. Our fellow druggists succeeded in squaring matters to start the second canto on Berman's A 'f free throw, only to have Jervis give his team a lead which was retained 'till the final minute of play, when Beck once more created a deadlock at 16 all. Knipe tallied from under the loop and followed up with a foul shot. With a three point advantage, the contest seemed at this in- stance safely tucked away, but not to be outdone, our basketeers staged a brilliant comeback and with thirty seconds to go, Fistel's spectacular heave from -center court knotted the score 19 to 19. Displaying smoother and more finished team work, the clubmen swept the wearers of the Crimson and Gold off their feet in the extra session and added to its total on Raye's unique backhand flip. Fichman, however, evened the count again only to lose the game on two fouls which McGreal tallied making the final total 23 to 21.

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 .

A double foul decision against Pharmacy by Referee Pinkie Match, in the last minute of play, cost the future druggists the battle. This combat was the second that the barristers managed to eke out by a lone solitary point, the first game being lost by 36-35, after two extra periods were played. The lawyers put up an admirable game in the Hrst half, and, although our team rallied in the closing minutes of this session, they trailed by 10 to 8 at half time. With the start of the final canto, our passers tied the count and a moment later went ahead to hold the lead until the final minute, when Lane tossed in two free throws to give the barristers the triumph.

C1 N.-SN KQAJ 1, 1 Ll l Y 926 Varsity Beats Alumni Five HE LONG, strenuous and successful 1926-'27 court campaign of our basket- ball team was closed on the night of March 23rd. at P. S. 117 where the alumni succumbed to the Varsity by a 42 to 34 count. The varsity scored a brilliant victory in what was probably the most spectacular and hardest fought game of the season. Q Unable go find, the form that has made the B. C. P. team famed far and wide for their invincible qualities in past history and in the game of the current season, they were lost for a good part of the tussle which was marked by rapid scoring splashes. A remedy was finally discovered, changes in the lineup being frequently made, and after much experimenting a formidable Pharmacy was pitting its energies against a determined alumni quintet. - Goldberg, Brooklyn's substitute center, scored the goal that put our team in the van for the first time during the game. In the scrimmage, in which there was much falling over one another, Rube, in the act of falling, registered his first goal. The lead changed hands time and again, but a determined rally in the closing minutes of the half found our team ahead by 13 to 8. The new half saw the decline of the former wearers of the Crimson and Gold, who were dumbfounded under the rapid fire which the Varsity opened on them in the ensuing moments. Berick scored but one field goal during the boisterous evening, but it was responsible for giving the team an advantage, which was held to the end of the bitter struggle. Conde, who substituted for Berman, fought with all his wonted fire and in- fused into his teammates the greatest confidence. Count knew no peer in the ways and means of the defensive art in this final encounter. Fichman and Beck played with great effectiveness and were largely responsible for the victory. While Berick was not among the-scorers he, nevertheless, did remarkable work along offensive and defensive lines. Berkowitz, Gerson and Burris, former luminaries were thorns in the side of our offense and defense. They scored with the precision of Dead Eye Dick , and when ever allowed to roam loose, were constant menaces. The three of them combining to score an aggregate sum of 26 points, which was three quarters of their team's total. JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE N ADDED attraction of the evening was a preliminary combat staged be- tween the members of the Pharmakon staff and members of the Senior class.
