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 .....

LINCOLN LIFE OF 1929 ELIMIN ATION TOURNAMENT-BASKETBALL N the A division, 325 was picked as favorite to win the tournament. 325 ran through the tourney with ease and at the finals found themselves pitched against 227. Harold Sklar, by sinking a goal started the scoring for the game. Before 227 could recover, 325 repeated With Nadler and Segal sinking a field goal apiece. Goodman began the scoring for the losers by putting in a goal and a free throw. Nadler, 325is midget forward, added two more as the half ended. The second half started off with 227 still five points behind. Kraines, the lanky center of 227, contributed four points from the half. But 325 retaliated with three points by the past guard, Sklar. The final score was 11 to 7. Nadler and Sklar performed bril- liantly for 325 while Goodman and Kraines starred for the losers. The iiBi, division of the elimination tournament was run off with great success as were the preceding tournaments. Among the many rooms that competed, 103 and 203 steadily advanced toward the finals. The deciding game was not as inter- esting as the A,, class championship game but many fans turned out to see it. Friedman and Schiit' played the best brand of ball for the winners, room 103, while Nadler starred for the losers. VOLLEYB ALL VOLLEYBALL became an interesting indoor sport at Lincoln with many boys participating. Because many rooms entered, the tournament was divided into three parts, 9th grade, 8th grade, and 7th grade. In the 9th grade 109 and 227 reached the finals after the former won from 133 and 227 beat 303. At iirst it was decided to play three games to decide the champion and when the three were played 227 put in a protest. It was then planned to play one deciding game. In this game, 109 won the championship. The 8th grade championship game became an interesting tussle with 309 and 206 fighting it out. Rooms 309, 206, 203, and 311 found themselves in the semi- finals and the last two rooms mentioned were easily defeated. After a hard fought game 309 won. But in the 7th grade not very many rooms entered, only four rooms playing each other at the start. In order to reach the finals two rooms had to win one game each. At the finals 226 and 221 opposed each other and the deciding game was won by the former, 226. THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT ON September 19, 1928, the greatest upset of the tournament was experienced, when Leonard Segal, an 8A, was crowned champion by defeating the favorite, Marvin Kriedberg 6-2, 3-6, 6-2. The tournament consisted of fourteen competitors, who gave each other plenty of competition. The second round found eight of the starting fourteen playing one another. As the result of some good playing, Leonard Segal, Naphtalie Connor, Sydney Silverbush and Marvin Kriedberg won their way to the semi-finals. Segal and Connor gave each other opposition while Kriedberg and Silverbush fought each other. Segal defeated Connor in a game. Kriedberg was victor in his match. The hnal match took place at Logan Park with Leonard and Marvin playing to decide who was to win the trophy. Neither one had the advantage so the victor wasnit known until after the hard fought game was over. Leonard was honored at an auditorium period. S even ty-Ei ght
