Saakrt Sail THE Basket Ball Team of 1912 was a great delight to the School, because it proved a complete success. Although Captain “Jake” Weiutraub was the only veteran back at school, Coach Evans built the best team Commerce has ever had. Of the forty candidates that came out for the team the following were picked: “Captain Weintraub and Broz, forwards; Russon, center; Zak and Lebowitz, guards; Hilberer and Twitchell, as substitutes. Thomas Albertson was chosen as manager, which office he filled with great satisfaction. The first game was played December fifteenth, when the faculty and varsity engaged in a hard struggle. The faculty won with a score of eight to seven. Coach Evans scored most of the points for his team. West was next defeated by Commerce with the score of sixteen to seven. This meant the championship of the West-side, and gave us a fine start in the senate race. Glenville was met next and defeated by a great margin, the score being twenty-four to eight. With two victories and no defeats Commerce after training hard all the week sent the team against East. The game was the fastest one ever played on Commerce’s floor, and when the final whistle sounded Commerce found itself the winner. The next game was with South, the first game of the season played on an opponent’s floor. Commerce was again victorious. The following week Central was defeated at Commerce, in a very exciting game. The next game, Commerce vs. Tech, at Tech, was the greatest game of the season. Both teams were tied for first place in the Senate League. With three minutes of overtime playing. Tech won a victory. The score was twenty-seven to twenty-five. The last senate game of the season was played against Lincoln, at Lincoln. Commerce was handicapped by the small gymnasium and lost. This game brought to a close the most successful basket ball season the High School of Commerce has ever experienced. The second team composed of Donley, Goldberg. Rosenstein, Kamnetzky and Raybon deserves mention. The team-work showed by these fellows was excellent, as is proven by the winning of six out of the eight games played.
