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.
