One of the most stressed aims was to create better sportsmanship and team- work among the boys. Inter-room Athletics as is used in Lincoln serves both the boy and the school. It. builds up the student physically and mentally and helps him to become more loyal to his class and school. This term we have held ten tournaments. This has given every boy an oppor- tunity to participate in his favorite sport. The spirit of the B. A. A. is shown in its motto, nVVin or loseealways a smile.

LINCOLN LIFE OF 1929 BOYS, CHAMPIONSHIP BASKET-BALL TEAM 2A2 BOTTOM Row-Mandel Sapero, Harry Silver, Lam's Shapiro, Captain, Phillip Berine, Nathan Mizofsky TOP oweLyle Lebowske, Fred Malisow, Irving Sol ROUN D ROBIN BASKETBALL TOUR N AMEN T THE officers of the Boys, Athletic Association sponsored a Round Robin Basket- ball tournament with aid of their physical education director, Mr. Fisher. The rooms entering numbered about thirty-two. Each and every boy was thoroughly pleased with the outcome of the tournament and lived up to the motto nWin or lose, always a smile. The boys of room 109 were favorites of the contest, followed closely by 227. 225 gave some stiff opposition before the finals were reached. The deciding game between 109 and 227 was won by the latter after a hard fought contest. Although the passing attack of 109 worked effectively it did not bother room 227. Captain L. Shapiro and Lyle Lebowske formed a two man com- bination and were the mainstays for the winners. Time and again, these two boys worked the ball down the floor towards the basket but' only made three baskets out of twice as many shots. Mike Alpert, 109 Captain, W. Salloway and Leftyti Schwartz worked a passing attack in an effort to overcome the slight lead held by their opponents, but the rally fell short by three points. The final score was six-three. In the 2B division rooms 124 and 309 reached the finals and, after a hard battle, the former won, sixteen to four. Sklar, forward, played a .great game for the winners, as did Goodman for 309. At the opening whistle, Sklar started off on a rampage and at the half made enough points to cinch the game. Captain Nadler contributed a few points to bring the count up to sixteen. Goodman sank all of his team,s points. Both lineups were as follows: 2A2 CLASS 7B,, CLASS 227 109 124 Shapiro tCQ . .Forward ..... Alpert B. Nadler tC9 Forward ...... Nadel Lebowske .....
