B. A. A. The boys of Lincoln met as usual early in the fall and elected their B. A. A. ochers. Abe Rosenbaum was elected president; Llewellyn Martin, vice presi- dent, and Harry Siegler, secretary. After the season got under way the three ochers and their adviser, Mr. Fisher, arranged the B. A. A. athletic calendar. The following events were chosen to be run off in this order: golf, basketball, skiing, swimming, tennis, diamond ball, and track events. In every sport the referees and umpires were B. A. A. members who desired this experience in offlciating. Those who secured the privilege of doing so were Abe Hillman and Abe Rosenbaum, who were the two most outstanding ochials of the year. The others were Harry Siegler, Jake Kaplan, Harold Sabesewitz, Sam Chutter, and Milton Hoffman. Much credit is due these boys and the oihcers of the B. A. A. for their tireless efforts to make this season of sports one of the most successful and outstanding ones in the history of Lincoln Junior High LINCOLN SKI TOURNAMENT Lincoln' s second annual Ski tournament was held on January 22,1927 The day was favorable for some long jumps.

BASKETBALL The round robin basketball tourney was run off successfully with lots of pep and vigor. The teams were entered according to home rooms as well as according to size. The boys participating in Class A were required to be 5 feet 2 inches or over, and those in Class B, under 5 feet 2 inches. Twenty- seven teams took part in these contests, seventeen of whom were in B, class and ten. of Whom were in A class. Most games were hotly contested and even up to the middle of the tournament it was hard to pick the champions. The conflict between 208 and 124 A teams was the hardest fought game that Lincoln has ever witnessed. The championship being won by 124 with a score of 10-7. Room 208 was proud of its hard fighting team even in defeat. The deciding confiict of the B class was not nearly so hard fought and Room 311 won, but unfortunately lost on a protest by their opponents of 209, who claimed that Jake Swerdlick, ATYonkelf, was not a regular player and when they again played 209 won an easy Victory by the score of 9-2. 111 luck seems to have followed the team members of 311. They have secured a place in the hnals each year since they were 7B's only to be nosed out in the last game. GOLF Lincoln's golf tournament was run off September 25, 1927. Among the outstanding players were: Ernest Anderson, Harvard Gross, Robert Brademan, Lex Hollenbeck, Teddy Ericson, and Stanley Larson. The best played match was between Hollenbeck and Larson, the latter winning. Larson was 3 up at the end of the Iirst nine and continued his good playing and won 6 up and 4 to go. Larson then played Gross and won 2 up. This leaves our school midget, Stanley Larson, our golf champion. He was rewarded with a silver cup and a letter.
