ROUND ROBIN BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT S in the previous year an A and B class basketball tournament was held. In the A division the larger boys competed while in the B division only boys under 5 feet 2 inches were allowed to participate. Although the boys in the B class were much smaller in size their type of playing was just as high as that exhibited by the A class. Sports were encouraged a great deal this year by the offer of silver trophies to all athletic winners. Therefore all the games were hard fought, each team striving for Victory and the trophy. The tournaments, being round robin, lasted for several months but it was not long before the favorites to enter the finals of the A Class were known to be room 225 and room 325. Starting out as the whistle blew, 225 headed by Zeigler, Altogan and Lubetsky immediately began to pile up points but it was not until the last half that they were sure of Victory. 325 went down to defeat by the score of 17 to 7. Zeigler, Altogan and Lubetsky starred for the winners with Karch and Blankenhorn for the losers. In the B division 124 and 101 reached the finals and after a hard fought game the latter cinched the championship 8 to 6. Captain Schwartz of 101 played a stellar game and managed to make his teams total of 8 points. Schapiro, Schuster and Groll were the main cogs in 124,5 team. The lineups were: A CLASS B CLASS 225 325 101 124 Altogan - - Forward - Blankenhorn Nadler - - Forward - - - Schuster Zeigler - - Forward - a - Karch Addis - - - Forward - - - Groll Rymen - - Center - - Kieferstein Schwartz - - Center - - - Schapiro Lubetsky - Guard - - Goldstein Holmes - - Guard - - - Gordon Gifis - - - Guard - - Jennings Straus - - - Guard - - - - Cutts BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS FRONT RowaBeryl Goldstein, Charles Lax, Elkan Groll, Bill Cutts, Meyer Lax.

f3 FM - ss ATHLET CS lVe are working for a sound mind in a sound body. w, THE B. A. Ap HEN the B.A.A. was organized in 1925 certain definite plans were set out to be accomplished. Among these the following were the most important: to promote school spirit and loyalty; to obtain a greater degree of sportsmanship; to encourage the training of the boys making them more alert, more intelligent, and more capable; and most important of all to promote health education. With each succeeding year the membership in this important organization has been steadily increasing. The boys have seen the remarkable results produced and are availing themselves of this opportunity. Each year early in the fall the boys meet to elect the officers. Leon Rosenfeld was elected president, Bennie Spewak, vice-president, Adam Blankenhorn, treasurer, and George Weiss, secretary. Charles Karch and William Horban were the advisers. At the first meeting it was decided that basketball, swimming, diamond ball tourna- ments, and a track meet were to be held. The officers were given charge of all the officiating and umpiring and the drawing up of schedules. B. A. A. .CAPTAINS AND OFFICERS FRONT ROWeHarry Freidman. Bernard Shawm, Gilbert Davis.
