An unusually interesting intramural
championship basket ball tournament is
IN progress at st. Johns College High
School
In the Junior League the present
leader is LIB team, while in the senior
aoop Ia and IA teams are tied for
frst place
Coach Byrne got the tournament
started, but 1t Is being carried on by
the various teachers and members Of
the regular school team who are acting
as coaches. In all some rs boys are
taking part.
It is hoped to keep the tournament
going until the time arrives to take up
some new sport. 1t has been just about
decided that base ball will be abandoned
at the Vermont avenue institution and
that more emphasis will be laid on
track. Thus track and field aspirants
are expected to be ruling the roost at
st. Johns In the Spring.
