SPQRT REVIEW GP 934 SPORTS TALK CLU B The Seth Low Basketball team com- pleted probably its most thrilling sea- son with fair success. The division in which Seth Low participates is com- posed of five teams and so close was the battle for supremacy, that at the conclusion of the season, Seth Low, Pershing, and Montauk were tied for the premier honors, necessitating a play-off. The Seth Low five defeated Pershing in these games but lost the championship to Montauk. Seth Low opened its season with a victory over the team that was later to win the championship from it. Mon- tauk was an overwhelmnig favorite but was upset by the score of 12-1 1. The green and grey team was trailing at the half but defeated the red and white quintet with a spurt in the closing minutes of play.

It was defeated by every team on its schedule. The reason must have either been the lack of material or the other teams are stronger. Track The track team had a very good season by winning the Brooklyn cham- pionship and by coming out fourth in the City meet. Handball The handball team made out much better than the baseball team. They have won every game against Boody and Shallow. Basketball The basketball team had a fair sea- son compared to last year. This years team has a record of a win and a tie over Shallow, an overwhelming victory over Boody, a loss and a win with Montauk and a win and loss with Pershing. Swimming Last years swimming team was much better than this years. This year's team had an overwhelming vic- tory over Montauk but a loss to Lew Wallace.

THE BASKETBALL TEAM The second game against a suppos- edly poor Shallow five proved to be the most exciting game of the season. At the end of the hrst half, Seth Low enjoyed a lead of 17 points to 9, and it seemed as though the Seth Low quin- tet was headed for an easy Victory. However during the intermission some- thing happened to the Shallow team, for they literally swept the Seth Low team OH their feet with a remarkable rally. So remarkable was their spurt GYM! GYM! Scores of girls out on the floor, Thafs what I saw when I opened the door. A11 looking so trim in their suits of green, Such a hne sight, I had never seen. Some darting here, some darting there, Like hoptoads bobbing up everywhere. Climbing, jumping, catching fast balls. Some doing stunts, and ending in sprawls. All too soon came the sound of the gong, A momentIs silence and off seampered the throng. Before very long they were on their way, cIGym,, was over for another day. Anita Leder, R02 Page Sixty that with tirrie left for one play the score read ,Seth 'Low 24,, Shallow 24. As the whistle was about to be blown a foul was calledaon Seth Low and Shneider Walked to the foul line to Inakethe deciding shot. The ball left his hands and hit the backboard. It rolled twice around the rim of the bas- ket in what seemed an eternity of min- utes, then as the whistle blew conclud- ing the game, it dropped to the .ground. The game thus ended in a tie and was replayed at a later date. In its third conflict Seth Low tasted its first defeat of the season. A fine Pershing quintet overcome a 10-6 lead which Seth Low held at the half and in a close, thrilling battle defeated the green and gray by the score of 13-12.
