BASKETBALL The first major Oakland Athletic League championship to be won by a Roosevelt varsity team was captured by the Crimson five representing the 1928 basketball squad. A play-off game with Technical to determine the champion was necessary as both teams were tied witli four wins, and one defeat each at the close of the league season. A thrilling last quarter rally by the Roughriders nettd them the title by a 21 to 20 verdict. Not only did the varsity finish on top of the league, but the combined classification teams took the championship for their respective division. The class B team swept through the season without a loss while the class A squad lost only one of its five games. The class C and D fives each won three of their five encounters. Thus, by winning fifteen out of twenty possible victories, the Crimson team ' s triumphs totaled thirty points (two points for each game won) to defeat their nearest rival, McClymonds, by four points and take the (). A. L. classification basketball title. Mr. Lee Gibbs, coaching his first varsity team for Roosevelt, had the honor of leading the Roughriders to their initial league title. Coach Gibbs was the successor of Coach George Crawford, who left Roosevelt ' s coaching staff during the preceding term. Captain Keith Singleton, all-city letterman from the 1927 team, won for himself the title of one of the cleverest forwards ever to be developed in the Oakland high schools. Not only did his shooting ability rank with the city ' s best players, but his fast dribbling and accurate passwork surpassed all rivals. Captain Singleton took second place in O. A. L. scoring honors for the 1928 season, and was almost unani- mously selected for an all-city team forward position. The other member of the all-city squad representing Roosevelt was Bob Elliott, stellar guard of the Crimson five. The playing of Elliott was not as spectacular as some of his rivals, but his steady accurate floorwork made him one of the best guards in the city. Seventy-tiuo
