It was thought best to hold the boys' Interclass Baskethall Tournament in Decemher instead of having it in the Spring as has heen the custom heretofore. The main advantage in this was that it gave Coach Senneff a good line on the haskethall material for the coming haskethall season. The tournament opened on Decemher eighth and each class was represented hy two teams, the heavy-weights and the lightweights. Four heavyweight teams took the Hoor on the opening day. The sophomores opened the tournament by overcoming the seniors 13 to 9. The '27 squad showed excellent teamwork and held the lead throughout the entire game. ln the sceond com- bat, the juniors registered a score of 12 to S against the freshmen. . Tuesday saw the lightweights in possession of the court. In a fast game, the freshman team triumphed over the sophomores in a fourth overtime period 16 to 1-L.
