BAS KE TBALL BASKETBALL TEAM The beginning of basketball season was a bit discouraging this year, with schools such as Burbank, Pasadena C., and Verdugo snowing under the gallant Flintridge five with leads of 20 to 25 points. The team would perform wonders at the start, but towards the end of a game they would begin to tire out, there being only 1 or 2 substitutes. However, their first games were all practice games with schools way out of our league in size, so that we still held hopes of making a better showing in our own class.

l 4 The first league game was with Southern California Military Academy, and, as usual, it turned out to be one of the hardest-fought games of the season. The score at the half was 11 to 9, our favor, and in the second half we kept our lead to make the final score 21 to 16, our favor. The Dewey High School team edged our boys out of a victory by 5 points, and then we had to bow before the Harvard team to lose an exciting game by 9 points. After this, things began to roll again, and we flattened out Spanish American with a 40 to 18 victory. The team went on to overcome S. C. M. A. again, 36 to 30, and gain revenge on Dewey by defeating them 17 to 12. We lost our chance for the title by losing a crucial game to Harvard by 23 points. This put us back in third place, where we ended the season.
