SCHONBERG, Faculty .-4dzf1'ser K, 15, J O championship was awarded this year owing to the fact that 6 L gf nearly every team in the -P. S. A. L. was disqualified for one in 1- . 1 . I E reason or another. Indeed, so confused were the affairs of the .1 -.gt :fb Z League that no one can tell where Commerce or any other team finished. Our team was disqualified because Goldberg, one of our players, was proved to be playing on an outside team, which is a violation of the League Rules. The fellows who did play on the team and finished the season de- serve a great deal of credit for playing through such disheartening cir- cumstances. No practice games were played, as the season started very early, and no outside teams were willing to arrange games for such early dates. The first game with Flushing proved to be an easy one for our team, the final score being I8-6. The game against Newtown resulted in a defeat for our fellows-Newtown almost completely outplaying us-the score being 27-II. Eastern District played a very strong and exciting game against us, but our team made a good finish, winning by a score of I7-13. In the next contest-with Jamaica-our team completely out- played and outclassed Jamaica, the latter team only scoring two held-goals and three fouls. The game against Erasmus was undoubtedly the closest one of the tournament, Erasmus leading all the way. In the last two minutes of play Archibald caged four baskets in rapid succession, mak- ing eight points, which' brought us one point ahead of Erasmus and won SI

COMMERCE YEAR BOUK, 1911 the game. The game against Manual Training was noted for bad de- cisions, but although the game was protested, the protest was not sus- tained, and the team had to accept defeat by one point. Boys' High .proved to be an easy victim, 23-IO. The Richmond Hill game was close throughout and it was o11ly by a strong finish that the team turned defeat into victory. Clinton showed unexpected strength, and after a hard iight with a great deal of team work on both sides, we went down to defeat. The next team played against was C. C. N. Y. Freshmen, and although We lost,' this was the best game of the season. In the Stuy- vesant game, Stuyvesant simply ran away from our fellows, defeating us by a score of 41-13. Archibald did well as a shooter of fouls and as center. Schulman, Israel, Love and Streicher also put up good games, while Vvhyte made a good captain and forward. The Usubsu deserve special mention too. Manager Hager also should be praised for his efforts for the success of the team. The team lined up as follows: XVHYTE ........... .....
