HIS yearts basket ball team has won for itself the honor and distinction of winning for East High its first championship in this sport. At the beginning of the season we were looked upon as ttrank outsiders? without even consideration of being the possible champions. This idea was justified in that only three regulars from last year's team remained, and two of these were seriously injured in football. Luckily, one of them was able to play the latter part of the season, and this, with two other letter men, formed the framework on which our coach built a team. When the interscholastic season opened, we surprised everyone by heating Hughes on our own floor with a score of 22 to 18. We won from Woodward by the score of 28 to 27, and on their floor, 26 to 23, in two very close games, and likewise beat Walnut Hills by comfortable margins, 37 to 16 and 47 to 19, respectively. Our second game with Hughes was played at the Armory, and as ttturn about is fair play, we were handed the smaller end of the score, which was 31 to 21. Thus we won the interscholastic championship, losing only one game against two lost by Hughes. An endless amount of credit goes to Mr. Pfeiffer for his untiring efforts for the teanfs success. Mr. W'alke and Mr. Renter, together with the rest of the faculty, deserve a vote of thanks for their aid in making the season a success, and to those who worked long and hard, but did not get into many games, goes the sincere thanks of the team and school.
