BELOW its usual form, our basketeers found it impossible to win its last League game when they encountered the representatives of the Columbia College of Pharmacy on its .home court. The game was one of the dullest and hstless seen during the entire season Columbia's knowled e of its unusuall large court, and not its form, went a long way in deciding 'fhe ultimate victoiil The final score, 30 to 27 seems to indicate a stern game but on the contrary a good percentage of the score was compiled by points caged viathe free throw route. The boys made as total of 11 while their adversaries made good 8 of a possible 20 awarded to them. ' Confronted with the opportunity of tying the Philadelphia cohorts for the League lead and consequently forcing a playoff, the team played so loosely as to convey an impression that the responsibility that they labored under was far too great, while the Blue, who had nothing to gain or lose played in its usual strong antd ilod-like manner, thus considerably slowing down our vaunted whirlwind a ac . The Crimson and Gold found it difficult to score and it was onlyafter eight minutes of loosely played basketball that any one of the contestants tallied, as per usual it was our quintet that broke the ice and assumed a brief lead. - After another prolonged period of rough and tumble playing the New Yorkers slowly forged ahead. However, towards the end of the first canto a pretty exhibition was staged, the team, who was three points behind, made a belated rally and not only outplayed the Lion quintet, but succeeded in knotting the count 12-12 just as the whistle blew. On the resumption of play, the Brooklyn offense again went to pieces and although the brilliant individual efforts of Fichman, Stein and the guarding of Berick were above par, the rest of the team were unable to corroborate when the .needed tallies were required. Columbia found it a difficult task to carry the ball into our territory and .re- sorted to flinging the ball from all angles. Hand was the most successful, -finding the loop for three consecutive long distance heaves, giving his team anundisputed advantage which they maintained till the end of the fray, despite the frantic pleadings and urgings of the loyal Brooklyn rooters. u U ' During the middle of the half, our team endeavored to regain its top form, and with Beck leading them they made a determined bid for the game at this stage. Beck was removed and this took the fight out of the boys and went a long way in deciding the eventual winner, although the Brooklynites made audying finish as Stein playing in Beck's place and Fistel crushed through for successive baskets towards the end, placing the team three points behind the Morningside Heights passers who proceeded to freeze the sphere for the remaining minutes.

Led by Beck, the boys doubled the New Jersey's total. . Taking an early lead, our basketeers quickly outdistanced the losers and built up a lead that was constantly increased. The Jerseyites went to the front in the first minute on a field goal, but that was the only time the Collegians from the other side of the river held the lead asthe Brooklynites quickly tallied a foul and several baskets. Beck and Fichman were the high scorers in the first canto with three field goals apiece. Berick and Berman contributed to Brooklyn's cause before the half ended with New Jersey Pharmacy way behind in the rut by 18 to 5. . . ' The second period found us content with our lead and allowed the losers to do some needed scoring themselves, in the meantime keeping enough in reserve. The boys uncorked a brilliant display of passing towards the end of the one-sided combat and compiled six points in succession. Berick's contribution in this spurt was way above the ordinary taking a pass on the dead run L ft fl' d , e y' lppe a. backhand pass that pulled all the spectators up on their feet in wild acclamation. 1 While Beck was the scoring star, Stein scintillated throughout, pl-Wino' -1 bril- liant floor game.

OLD GRY A school cannot turn out a good team if it lacks a permanent home court and a paid coach is true as a rule 5 but rules are proven by their exceptions and our own case therefore proves the rule. D We lacked facilities, practiced but once or twice a week, and yet according to our record had. a successful season. Our record was entirely due to the ability of the men on the team. What team could boast of a pair of guards such as Joe Beck and Lefty Berick? Beck's place as a star on the basis of his two years record is unassailable. Lefty has another year to prove that his fine showing was no flash in the pan. . Berman, at center, showed a great improvement over last year and there were few centers who outjumped him. , Fistel and myself, former team mates were together again during the pastyear and showed by our records that none of our old teamwork had been forgotten. But enough of the individuals on the team. The factors in our success were the grit and harmony of the members of the team and also a more important factor, the enthusiasm and good, will of the members of the Faculty. Do you think that our boys could have played HTOOTSH FICHMAN as splendidly as they did and make such supreme efforts, CAPTAIN at crucial moments of the game, if it had not been for the presence and cheering of the Faculty, as well as that of the students? When a team knows that it has the support of the teaching staff and student body, and that an active support, it fights the harder and I credit them with winning games although not actively participating. ' On behalf of the team, I take this opportunity to thank Dean Anderson, Doctor Goldwag, our' Faculty Advisor and the others of the teaching staff and student body for lending their whole hearted support to the team throughout the season. The players point of view is necessarily different from that of the spectator and I propose to take you behind the scenes in the two of our hardest fought games of the season, with our ancient and honorable foe-Brooklyn Law. ' FIRST LAW GAME The most interesting and dramatic game played by Pharmacy was the Brook- 'lyn Law game. Inspired by the cheers and by the noise made by the Gallery Gods and by the spectators, we rose in that second half and tied the score after everyone but the team and' a few outsiders had given the game up as lost. .When we scored three baskets in a row, in the first session, it proved our un- doing for we played with such enthusiasm and carried the game to our foes in such fashion that we tired ourselves out inside of ten minutes. During the next ten minutes, even though we called two time outs, we could not keep up with the pace set by Chipurnoi who was aided by Feinberg and Salz. The first half ended 16-7 in favor of the lawyers. Tired but not discouraged we went out with'al1 our plans formulated as to how we would play. Our plan was to try heaving the ball from the field until we would draw our opponent up to us and then break through. How well this worked can be easily seen, for after ten minutes had passed Berman Fistel and myself each tallied one field goal apiece from the center df the field Thid brought the Law team in and then Berick and Fistel countered with baskets from around the basket to tie the score. At this point Beck who was plavinfi' a wonderful guard game had to go out onaccount of personal fouls '1'l1iq w-1: disheartening but luckily for us the game ended there. i R 1 K Page 2 36 ' .QU F HO Q , A A me
