Bee grade school
basket ball tour
nament In 1923
and 1924 cinched
the championship
again when it de
feated Train school
in the finals of the
meet Wednesday
afternoon. The
final score of the
game was 29 to 10
In favor of the
former champs.
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. The cheering of both schools
made the older spectators think of
college ami high school cheering. 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.
I re was the outstanding player
of the game, scoring II points tor
the winners. He slso played a good
defensive game, fttewart also played
a good game for the winners. For
the losers, Peasner and Lambert
started.

WHEN* knighthood was In Pills
bury, the manly art of selfish
defense was the exclusive
property of dukes and barons.
No serf or ehurl was permitted
to swing a mace or to go to work
on primely armor with a ran
opener.
Kings, earls and their hoy friends
; fought for a glove, a vow or dys
j pepsia. All fighting was purely am
ateur. And in these days of prnfes
sionallsni it Is a pleasure to know
| that there are still knights who
quarrel for glory without price.
Tile theatrical game is well rep
resented among the simple eimnii

was on the last westward trip
of the Olympic that he entertained
Grand Duke Borax of Russia with a
fast six round Imut. His opponent
was a lad from. Florida, who' weighed
in with a bottle In his hand.
Halligan won the battle, but he

We would like to get a load of
Borax this winter swiggiing bootleg
out of a flapper's galoshes.
HALT.IGAN Is not the only ac

IA JI 'ANA Race Trai ls,
Mex., March 4. — A
. heck of about $55,000
from the Tia Juana
Jockey Hub to the win*
nhuf owner.
A home in California
given by the Jockey
Hub to the rider of tha
winner.
A probable bonus of
at least $5,000 from the
victorious owner to the
Jockey who pilots the
triumphant horse.
A solid silver drinking bucket made
by Tiffany, New York, from the
Jockey club to' the gallant thorough
bred who ia first to the wire.
These are some of the financial re
wards announced by President Jane's
W. Coffroth to he distributed to the
lucky ones in the annual renewal of *
the Coffroth handicap at the Tia *
Juana track Sunday, March !!*.
I There is only about a month re
maining before Starter Marshall
(aasith will spiiiI away at least JO
of America’s premier distance
horses in this now recognired turf
classic. As has lieeii the case in
previous renewals of tile Coffrotfi
handicap, it will again he the rich
est stake in America for horses of
all ages and accordingly Is attract
ing widespread attention for quit*
a period pretioqs to Its decision.
A telegram which President Cof
' froth has received from Tiffany,
famous New York jewelers, says that
[the solid silver drinking bucket, to
| be given the winning horse, has-been
shipped. There !.« an interesting his
tory and some humanitarian thoughts
concerned in this gift. When in
New York last summer President
roffroth was discussing the Coffroth
handicap with George W. Schilling,
one of the Tia Juana track officials.
Schilling reminded Coffroth in the
conversation that once upon a time
lie had been thoughtful enough of
the horses to give each runner at the
track a pound of sugar on January
1, this date being the annual birth
day of every thoroughbred.
