Tournament This year the Smith Academy basketball team was invited to attend the Special Small Schools Tournament in Amherst. The games were played in the University of Massachusetts Cage. On March 5 the Smith Academy boys met the Belchertown High School team on the polished court and took their measure to the tune of forty-nine to forty-one. Although the team as a whole played a wonderful game, Dutch Kellogg and Buckwheat Korza did more than their share by scoring twenty and ten points respectively. By winning this first game the Smith Academy team went into the Semi- finals. In the Semi-finals the boys from Smith Acad- emy were up against the team from Chester High School, and this game was a hard-fought one, because the team that won this one would be in the finals against Lenox. At the end of the first half, the Smith Academy team was ahead by only two points. The play was close near the end of the game; with only eighteen seconds to go, the Chester team had the ball and were coming down the floor. The score was thirty-nine to thirty-seven; if they scored, the game would be all tied up; but Buckwheat Korza came out of nowhere, stole the ball, and scored. That was the last basket — and Smith Academy won forty-one to thirty-seven. When the last night of the tournament came, the whole Hampshire League was hoping that Smith Academy would win, because Smith Academy was the last Hampshire League team in the tournament. When Smith Academy met Lenox in the finals, the boys fought just as hard as they always had in the other games of the tournament, but they had one of their off nights, and couldn ' t score. At the end of the first half, Smith Academy was ahead by a score of twenty to eighteen. As the second half began, the Lenox team started to creep up on the S. A. boys and at the end of the third quarter Lenox went ahead and kept ahead till the end of the game. Although the final score was forty-seven to thirty-six, the team didn ' t really lose, because they gained in experience and confidence which we hope will aid them on the basketball court next season.
