G. A. A. The purpose of this association is to foster among the girls of Lincoln interest and participation in athletics, to increase physical eHiciency, and to develop a higher degree of sportsmanship and school and class spirit. The plan of the organization is the home room system. Each room elects a captain who represents them in all G. A. A. activities. It is the duty of the captain to arouse interest in her home room, advertise the games which her team plays, inspire her team and encourage them to clean playing and good sportsmanship. VOLLEY BALL--The sport taken up in the fall was volley ball. Practice games were held and later 1n the winter an Elimination Tournament was run off The winners in the 8th grade were the 8B4 5, Margaret Hoffman, Captain; Bessie Star, Esther Alch, Sylvia Meshbesher, Bessie Rabinowitz, and Celia Pinsky. The 9Bis, victors of their grade, conquered the 8B4's and so were 1927 school champions. The girls playing on this team were Beatrice Cohen, Captain; Etta Bellman. Pearl Arthur, Lena Epstein, Jeanette Farsht, Evelyn Moilanen, and Rivia Rosenberg.

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.
