T115 1933 CAOLUMBIA ENGINEER BASKET-BALL ASKET-BALL has been an interesting subject to many of the students of the Engineering School during the past year. The Physical Education Depart- ment of the University stimulated the interest in this particular sport by sponsoring a series of contests between teams representing the various professional schools. A plaque was offered as a prize to the team winning the series. A group of students who had some experience in this sport organized a team, known as the Engineers, to represent the Engineering School. Prescott Blatterman was elected to act as captain throughout the year. A tournament was held during the fall semester in which five professional schools were represented including the Engineering School. Une game was played with each of the other quintets entered in the league. The Engineers won three of their four games, losing to the Business School quintet by four points in the deciding game for the championship. The spring tournament proved more interesting as eight teams were entered from the various professional schools. In this series two games were played with each of the other teams, making a total of fourteen games to be played by each quintet. Thus far the Engineers have won ten games .and lost three. The first game with the Law School quintet required two overtime periods before the game was finally decided in favor of the Engineers. The second meeting of these two teams, however, showed that the engineering five had improved its game consid- erably. At the end of the first half the Engineers had rolled up eighteenipoints without a single point being scored against them. During the second half the defense weakened slightly but the scoring by the Engineers continued. The game ended with a score of 38-10 in favor of the Engineering School representatives. The team lost one of its games to Teachers' College and both games to the Kent's Independent Five. Three overtime periods were played in the first game with the Kent quintet. The second game was lost by a two point margin. The Engi- neers now stand in second place for the championship with the Kent Five in hrst place. From all indications this will probably be the Hnal rating of the teams at the end of the tournament. The starting line-up in practically all of the games consisted of Norm Hixson and Press Blatterman at the forward positions with Spike Qlstad jumping center. Fred Spellman and Tiny Raun played the guard positions. Tighe, G. Stringer, Vassilaros, lmhoff and Britz were found to be capable substitutes for these players when they were put into the game. Blatterman proved to be an excellent leader of the team, always playing a steady game and a constant threat in the scoring. When Hixson was not thinking too much about his seven o'clock class his cutting for the basket and his good shooting were very effective. Spike lived up to his name, and was always a thorn in the side of the opposition. Any of the opponent players will testify that Tiny Raun was a hard man to get past, being very agile for such a big fellow. Spellman was a great asset to the team on the offense with his speedy passing, and on the defense with his own particular method of keeping the opponents away from the basket. The other team was always baffled as to what .Toe Britz was going to do with the ball next. George Stringer still claims that there was a net over the basket to keep out his numerous shots. Fifty-one
