Lincoln High School Athletic Association An association of long and honorable standing in Lincoln High School is the Lincoln Athletic Association. It is deemed a great honor to be a member of this group. The student officers are elected each year by the student body. At the last election of officers those elected were Sam Tomassi, president, James Clancy, vicefpresident, and Patricia Ryan, secretary. The faculty members are: Mr. H. F. Benway, treasurer, Mr. Thomas H. Quigley and Mr. C. Fitzpatrick, advisers, and Mr. John J. Sloane, director. This year has been an especially successful one for the organization, as the treasury has been Hlled by the proceeds from the Radio Show sponsored by the school under the direction of Mr. C. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Herreilers. The baseball tickets were sponsored by the members of this association as well as the regular L. A. A. tickets. These baseball tickets, in addition to being honored at most of the games, were good for dancing in the gym at 12 :30. That is another activity which should be supported by the school, as the proceeds go to the L. A. A. treasury. The L. A. A. is considered one of the most powerful organizations in this school. Boost the L. A. A. so it shall always maintain this reputation.

Lincoln 28-Woodrow Wilson 24 Lincoln won a close tussle from Woodrow Wilson by the score of 28f24. After a bad start, which saw them behind by 1?v7 at the end of the first half, Lincoln rallied, and, aided by the great offensive work of A1 Shea and Jack Thompson, the Big Blue almost overtook Wilson at the end of the third quarter. The last quarter was the most exciting, as it seemed to be a quesf tion of whether A1 Shea himself could outscore Woodrow Wilson or not. Shea got the better of the argument by scoring eight points himself, while Wilson was held to three points. Lincoln 10-Union Hill 26 In a hard fought game Lincoln was down-ed by Union Hill on a 26f1O count. The first three quarters were featured by the close guarding of the teams, as is told by the 945 score at the end of the third quarter. However, a Union Hill rally in the Hnal quarter, which gave them fourteen points, provided the margin of the defeat. X Lincoln 22-fMemorial 24 Although a last period rush carried the Lincoln cagers to within two points of their opponents, Memorial managed to smother the attack and on to win, by the score of 2422. The Blue and White made an effort to close the gap when the third period got under way, but the West New York boys resisted with enough force to keep their two point advantage.
