TOP-KNOT Columbus School for Givtis Senior -Junior Tournament This tournament, which was played on the twenty-fourth of Novem- ber at half past three o'clock, was decidedly the best game our school court has ever seen. The' teams took their places without any of the usual stunts, and the game began on time, a novelty in itself. The cheering was incessant, and before the end of the first half, the rooters hadl left their chairs and were almost wild with excitement. The two teams were so perfectly matched, and the score was kept so nearly even, that until the final whistle. was blown, no one had an idea as to what the outcome would be. Finally the score stood twelve all. Just the minute before the end of the second half, one of the senior forwards threw a basket, making the score twelve to fourteen in favor of the seniors. E231

The freshmen really did not have a picked team, and they had had hardly any practice. In view of all this, they played a pretty good game. They put in several substitutes in the second quarter, but, after the first half, they failed to score. Despite the freezing cold weather, the attendance was nearly perfect. The final score was seventy-nine to eight in favor of the juniors. l22l
