Philly Wins First League Game HE NEWLY .formed Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League got under way on the night of December 11th, when our boys encountered the repre- sentatives of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, in Quakertown. The combat was staged on the floor of the Central Y. M. C. A., before' a fair sized crowd. A good percentage of this gathering wascomposed of our own loyal rooters, who essayed the hazardous trip by the various modes of transportation. Not to be outdone by our studes, the majority of the Faculty were also present to give their moral and enthusiastic support to our gladiators. Although completely outclassed by our team, the Slow Town basketeers managed to win out due to its ability' to cage fouls at opportune moments. A sum total of thirteen penalty shots were chalked up by the winners, .compared to our measly three. The final count 29-25 indicated that the victors final total was composed of practically one half of scored penalty shots. . Berick opened activities and the honor of scoring the first goal in the newly formed league, when he spunthe ball through the net, a result of a pretty one hand stab. Wasta deadlocked the score, tallying the first two of his teams fouls. Grana- han then sent his team out front on another penalty shot. The boys, although somewhat disheartened because of the many penalties applied, fought hard and took the lead once again, when Whitey uncorked a difhcult corner shot. Yingst scored the first Philly goal, thereby putting them in the van once again. The score changed hands continually, with the homesters finally holding a three point lead as the first period ended, the count being 15-12. 'Fichman was the first to tally in the second session, when his long shot found the rim. However, Wasta immediately followed putting the Philadelphia aggre- gation further ahead with a short net-cutter. With a few more fouls scored by Philly, Brooklyn's cause looked hopeless. At this juncture Fistel came through with two goals in succession, being closely followed by Toots , which quickly brought B. C. P. on the heels of the victors. Soon after, Berman and Beck were removed on personals which went a long way in breaking Brooklyn's drive and on resumption of play Philly forged ahead once again and maintained the lead to the end.

Goldwag formulated 9' P19111 Wllefeby the College of iharmaey in the Metropolitan District Colleges consogdatpd into a Basketball Association. The idea was fully discussed, an- 2LfifO1i31I1E 512 plans were drawn up towards that end. This idea first materialized in the Gail e ball Season of 1922-'23 when the Fordham College of Pharmacy, Colum 1a f o egg of Pharmacy and our own College of Pharmacy banded together and OHDS the Intercollegiate Pharmacy League , and arranged to play a horne and l10II1G series of contests. The team attaining the largest number of victories was to be presented with a championship trophy. . D . The Fordhamites offered Brooklyn the sternest opposition during that mem- orable year and this consequently necessitated a play-off. After playing One. of the most sensational games that was replete with thrills, the wearers of the Crim- son and Gold nosed out a fighting Fordham team by a single point. The following season 1923-'24 was also a memorable one for the newly made League. In fact the same circumstances prevailed through-out as was the case in the preceding year. Brooklyn and Fordham tied at the close of the season, a play-off again necessary, but this time the tables were turned and the Maroons were returned the victors, by the identical margin of a point. For the next two years there was a lull in the functions of the League, the Intercollegiate games being dropped, and the Fordham team completely disband- ing although B. C. P. still continued its Basketball relations with the Columbia College of Pharmacy during this period. ' However, the League soon began to function once more in all its entirety. Mr. Victor Oliver of the New Jersey College of Pharmacy being the instigator of the 1926-'27 season. After a short period of discussion the defunct Intercollegiate Pharmacy League was brought back into existence under the new caption of the Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League CE. I. P. LJ, and included the Phila- delphia College of Pharmacy and Science, New Jersey College of Pharmacy, Columbia College of Pharmacy and our own institution. The following men were intrusted with the business and executive matters: Mr., L. G. Cordier, of Philadelphia, Presidentg Mr. Victor Oliver, of the Jersey College, as Secretary, and Dr. Joseph S. Goldwag, of Brooklyn, as Treasurer. Similar conditions as in the old League prevailed, namely, a home and home series of games, a perpetual trophy being awarded to the team winning the largest number of League games. i After a strenuous campaign, the Brooklynites were nosed out in its last game when they succumbed to the Columbiagdruggists in a loosely played game. 'The formal opening of the-League season took place in Philadelphia, when the Quakers vanquished our warriors in a last minute spurt. Not daunted however, our passers came right back with the characteristic Brooklyn fighting spirit and won the next four games in succession. With the League lead at stake, we suffered the afore- mentioned defeat at the hands of our neighbors. The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science emerged as champions for the first year with our college as a close second. Columbia' Phiarinacv finished third and New Jersey a poor last. .We feel proud of our men, not only for the fine record they made but because e k th th b ' w now ey gave e est that was in them. Surely their dim.,-i .Q t ' the glory established for our Alma Mater, for it was theif desire dur hbloiis far above others that made our splendid league record a possibility, Page 2 30 A 'lf ' e SELL ' it ' 11zx1ur. .,

The Crimson and Gold cagers outsped and outplayed the J erseyites from beginning to end, and in no time were they ever threatened by a rolon ed Jerse s urt. ' , . Arco-ordfnating offeige, that swept through the Jersey guarding with marked regularity, was instrumental in helping us roll up the one sided count. The Brook- lyn Pharmacists- struck its stride early and the Hrst few minutes of play saw them leading by 14 points, and the Jersey Waterloo. , Held to two field goals in the first half, the Skeeters staged a splendid come- back in the closing period. While the visitors were nevertheless convincingly subdued, they made matters highly exciting with their energetic endeavors and the proceedings hummed along at a fast pace towards the close. The future apothecaries from the other side of the river, found the basket very elusive in the opening session and the B. C. P. guarding most capable. It was fifteen minutes before they had found a place on the scoreboard. Edlin was fouled by Berman and got two free throws. Realizing on one and saving the visitors from further languishing under the ignominy of inability to get into the running at all. Donofio and Edlin made valiant attempts to break into the field goal scoring with five minutes to go, but in spite of their most worthy efforts, no score materialized. Their shots at the rim were well aimed, landing cleanly, but the ball took an Habout face on each occasion hopping out of the netting into the waiting hands of one of our boys. Ginnetti and Shatafian in the last minutes succeeded in giving the visitors two goals. The half ending with Brooklyn enjoying a 26-7 lead. . Twenty-seven additional points were added to the Crimson and Gold total in the closing period. 5'XThe finish was particularly brilliant, sensational goals coming in rapid succession. Fichman, Fistel, Beck, Berman and Stein contributed rema.rkable shots. f ALL BROOKLYN l New Jersey Pharmacy Brooklyn College of Pharmacy G. F. P. G, F, P.
