STEVENS CUNTS WIN
Carry Off Honors in Public
School Athletic League.
SUCCESSFUL SEASON ENDS
Garrison's Heavyweight Team Show
ed Too Much Overconfidence To-
ward Close of Season.

The tenth division Of the Public
Schools Athletic League finished one of
the most successful basket ball seasons
in its history under the management of
the games committee of that division.
/, Again the two quints from Stevens
School won out. but not until it had
met and defeated in hard struggles the
quints representing Garrison School
Both of these schools have had good,
strong teams this season, and it was
much debated question as to which
would ultimately win out for champion
, ship honors.
The lightweight championship team
! of Stevens seemed to have something
OH all the others because three of last
years squad were again in the lineup.
The heavyweight cha mpions could boast
of only one veteran, and considering
this fact, when it's opponents had al
most entirely seasc ned teams, too much
praise cannot be bestowed upon the
new boys and the coaching system en-
ployed at Stevens.
Garrisons Looked Good.
The heavyweight team at Garrison
bid fair to be the one to be watched
, at the beginning of the season, and it
was thought that it would be the one
to defend the honors of the tenth divi-
sion, as it had weight and experience
IN its favor. Toward the end of the
season it suffered visibly from overcon-
fdence, which will not be the case
again when playing worthy an op-
| ponent AS Stevens.
| The surprise of the season was the
remarked bic showing Of the one team
| the Henry p Montgomery School could
I
! deal Of uneasiness during the entire
! season. An entirely new team, with
| very little coaching. il entered the Sc
/ ries unprecedented, but before its first
| game was half completed gave evidence
| that it would be in the running all the
I way. These boys We're defeated by
Garrison lightweights after going into
! extra time. and lost to the champions
at stevens by the score of II to 16
| The hghtweights at Phillips are to be
! commended for their work during the
| season. Although outweighed and lack
| ing in experience. it really put up a
game fight. This team had better
| teacher support than any in the divis-
sion, and with the addition of some
! material for development will do much
| better next season. The Wilson schools
! presented two teams at the beginning
| of the season which looked to have a
| chance. but the lack of experience plus
a seeming lack of interest wrecked the
i chances Of both for success. With some
| coaching these teams. most OF which
! will be intact next season. should be
| contenders.
! 1T is to he regretted that there are
! not more boys at Montgomery Phil
| lips, Briggs and Magruder as the spirit
! for good work in athletics is present in
all of the buildings, but material is
+, sadly lacking.
