Redondo, 13 — Inglewood, 15 In an air-tight game that was a thriller from beginning to end, the Sentinel heavy- weights downed the Redondo Sea Hawks. Venice, 34 — Inglewood, 19 Never once did the boys stop fighting. Even in the last minutes of play when all hope for a chance of victory was given up, they still kept fighting and taking pot shots at what seemed to be an elusive hoop. Huntington P. ' krk, 14 — Inglewood, 12 This was probably the tightest game of the season. From the opening whistle to the final gun, the Sentinel team played a heroic nip-and-tuck game. S.- nt. ' Monica, 16 — Inglewood, 13 The local heavyweights seemed to lack the co-operation they usually had. The locals had a small lead at the third quarter, but long shooting enabled the Vikings to creep up and snatch the victory. Compton, 21 — Inglewood, 9 The heavyweights were completely overwhelmed by the gallant Lions in the final game of the season. Those who receive letters are Neil McNeill, Captain, two stars; Byron Starry, Gordon Dressen, Frank Scheliga, Vincent Kasser, and Thomas Sheehani James Tinley and George Morrow, managers. CLASS B BASKETBALL The B team did exceptionally well, considering the loss of several lettermen. Coach Badenoch ' s boys deserve credit for their splendid showing. S.-vN Pedro, 14 — Inglewood, 26 All members of the team deserve much credit as they played a splendid game, defeating the San Pedro Pirates in the first Bay League encounter. WooDROw Wilson, 30 — Inglewood, 12 The Green and White boys played a good hard game but were outclassed by the visitors. The way the Wilson boys passed the ball was outstanding, and they had little trouble in breaking through the Inglewood defense. Redondo, 13 — Inglewood, 10 The Sea Hawks bumped the Sentinels in a tight affair, as the score indicates. The game was hotly fought and was any one ' s game until the final gun. Venice, 28 — Inglewood, 26 When the game really ended, the score stood 21 to 21, and it was necessary to play an extra period to declare a winner. Finally, as the time was nearing for the third extra period, Venice sank a long shot to cinch the victory for the Gondoliers. Huntington P.ark, 14 — Inglewood, 17 It is only fair to say that the chief asset of the local boys is team play. By scoring seven points in the last two minutes of play the Inglewood lightweights won from the Santa Monica outfit. Compton, 31 — Inglewood, 25 Playing against a team that could sink them from any place on the floor, the lightweight casaba tossers went down in defeat to the dead-eye Compton Lions. Those who receive letters are Captain Robert Patterson, two stars; Donald Oswald, Jimmy Sutherland, Everett Braun, William Sims, Philip Starry, Floyd WiUiams; James Tinley and George Morrow, managers. CLASS C BASKETBALL Coach Sowers ' s Cees had a fast, hard-playing group and did their best for the Green and White. S.AN Pedro, 9 — Inglewood, 14 It was not until the last whistle had blown that the victory was assured for the Sentinels. It was a hectic battle. one hundred thirty-nine

CLASS A ' - TRACK Bay League Champions WooDROw Wilson, 24 — Inglewood, 9 The Sentinel squad played a good game hut was easily outclassed by the Wilson Cees, who played a stellar game throughout. Redondo, 19 — Inglewood, 12 Owing to lack of team work the Sentinel quintet dropped the game to the Redondo Sea Hawks. Venice, 16 — Inglewood, 13 The Sentinels played one of the best games of their career but failed to rally soon enough to overcome an early lead piled up by the Venice five. Huntington Park, 10 — Inglewood, 20 The class C outfit romped all over the Huntington Park boys. Taking the game as a whole the Spartans never had a chance. Santa Monica, 22 — Inglewood, 16 Playing a brilliant but overconfident game the C team lost to the Santa Monica Vikings. Compton, 38 — Inglewood, 17 This being the last game of the season our boys went in with their hearts set on victory, but high hopes took wings when the Compton five just seemed to walk through our defense and suik set-ups. Those to receive letters are Italo Baldo and Donald Robertson, acting Captains; Charles Peterson, Edward Lilly, James Green, Edward Sawtelle, and Charles Sharpe; Stanley Lewis, manager. CLASS D BASKETBALL Inexperience and size handicapped Coach Sowers ' s midgets this year. There were no returning lettermen, but Coach Sowers developed a team that did its best to place high in the Bay League. San Pedro, 5 — Inglewood, 19 Most of the game was just a walk-away, but the second half had a few exciting moments. The whole team played excellently. one hundred forty-one
