1928 THE TECH REVIEW 129 CHEMISTRY TEAM The Chemistry Team sent by Tech to Kingston on May 12, 1928, turned out to be the best one that has ever represented our school. We have gradually climbed higher and higher in the ranks until we now stand second only to Pawtucket, who has carried away the cup for four years in succession. However, Tech only lost by 2.4 points. This is a very close margin, and the final scoring had to be made twice, to elim- inate mistakes. Of the six highest places, Tech took first, fourth, and sixth, Pawtucket taking the other three. Wood made the highest score ever made at Kingston: 94,12%. The members of the team were: Dick Wood, first place; Captain A1 Carlotti, fourth place; Art Saltzman, sixth place, John Andrews, Les Lang, Ev Battey, Art Crawshaw, and Miss Helen Vanderburgh.

1928 THE TECH REVIEW 131 GIRLS’ JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Front row, left to right—Catherine Heelan, forward; Miss Bertha D.ownie, coach; Capt. Linda Anderson, forward; Irma Russia, center; Elna Blomquist, guard. Second row—Hope Brown, guard; Leota Harris, sub.; Anna Sampon, guard; Ruth Thornton, side-center; Margery Brown, sub. Absent—Helen Carroll, sub. BASKETBALL Seniors Just enough senior girls came out for basketball to scrape up a team. Captained by Mildred French, the team did its best, but only managed to win one game. They fell to Commercial 24-3, and to Hope 32-14. But the Classical Seniors were easy victims and Tech won 22-4. Juniors The Junior team, headed by Capt. Lin- da Anderson, was the best and most suc- cessful team that Tech turned out. After defeating Hope and Commercial 34-14 and 31-16 respectively, they trounced Classical 39-10. Winning these three games placed the Tech Juniors against the Classical Frosh, for the semi-finals, where they won again, 38-3. In the finals, Tech worked hard but had to bow to the mighty Commercial Seniors, last year’s champs, 9-18. Sophomores Same as the Seniors, the Sophs had hard luck trying to build up a team. In the games they had even worse luck, fail- ing to win a single game. Nevertheless, Capt. Betty Bradshaw deserves plenty of credit for outplaying her opjx sing center, in every game. The results of the Sophomore games were: Commercial, 53; Tech 8. Classical, 32; Tech, 14. Hope, 18; Tech, 11.
