LINCOLN LIFE OF 1929 THE GOLF TOURNAMENT THE golf tournament, played semi-annually, was held this term under the guidance of John Stolt. His two capable assistants were Melvin Larson and Stanley Bloom. As the tournament began these, in addition to Archie Berg, were declared favorites. There were only two matches played in the first round. Archie Berg and Irving Schectman were the two victors, the rest of the field draw- ing byes. The second round found all four favorites winning and each entered the semi-finals. In the upper bracket Berg and Bloom played it out, and here developed the most interesting match of the tournament. Berg took the lead at the start, Bloom soon overcame it, but finally Berg, by steady playing, was Victorious. Although the match in the lower bracket between Stolt and Larson was not as interesting, it was a hard match for both golfers, and Larson finally won. The final match between Berg and Larson drew much attention from Lincoln golf fans as the two golfers were about equal. The match started with the older and steadier Berg, holding the lead, time and again young Larson fought for the lead but in vain, for the game ended With Berg two up and one hole to go. 1 The golf tournament, as have tournaments in the past, developed some fine players for Lincoln and many of the participants after graduating have brought honors to North on the links.

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
