The game was played on the Tech floor. ;e blew his whistle for the start of the game the gym nasium was packed to capacity by followers of both schools, Including students, teachers, mothers and fath ers.

It was estimated that 2,000 fieople crowded the gym. this being one of the largest crowds that ever attend ed a grade school game. The Long team, ns in the last two years, was made tip of five luge colored lads, who are large enough to play on any high school tenin. The Train team is composed r.f youngsters who are no higher than five feet. If the Train leant lead stood a little higher in slzp the tale of the outcome of the game might have been different. Uthough the game was doped to be won h.v I/Oitg, the diminutive Traill cagers made things interest ing for the champs. The contest was fast and interesting through out. The Iatng team presented a strong defense which held the rtin ners-tip to a low score. Only at certain times of the game did the Train team make spurts which nelted them a basket at each spree. On the other hand, tile I<ong bas ket eers passed and dribbled through their opponents’ defense easily. This Is the largest score that was scored on the Long team during the tournament The game started with the last year's champs scoring first when Lee slipped In a short shot. Lee kept up his shooting spree by caging three more goals in succession. The first quarter ended with Iaing lending by the score of 12-0. In the second quarter the Train tram outplayed Long, passing through the opposing quintet for two consecutive baskets and one free throw. Peasner, Train center, caged the neatest goal of the game from the side of the court. Wendell flipped the other basket and also ths free throw. The first half ended with Train on the short end of the score, 19 3. At the start of the second half Long rang up four baskets before ( the Train lads found themselves. After the Train team got together Hie Long cagers had to fight for every remaining basket they made. Lambert and l’easrier made the re maining baskets for Train, while T,ee finished the scoring for Long Just as the final whistle blew.
