Ten team captains were selected to form a Farrington basket- ball league' and daily practices and games were held at the old Kam gym. As these games went on edule, powerful quintets headed by Ara , Yano, and Shimamura managed to for ahead as leaders by pil- ing up one victory after another. ln the final round, these three teams were tied for the honor of first place, but in the elimination that followed, the league championship went to the team captained by Arakawa. The other teams were not to be outclassed for they showed ability in shooting and drib- bling. The boys finally selected as members of the senior team were: T. Okamoto, S. Ara- kawa, D. Fong, I. Tom, S. Shimamura, S. Chong, W. Fujimoto, K. Yano, A. Weeks, l-l. Kidoguchi, W. Kaulukukui, T. Asato, A. Al- fonso, T. Ogata, and T. Okazaki.
