or the second year in a row, the Alumni Basketball Game was divided into teams of older and younger alums, rather

than the traditional format of even class years versus odd class years. I think that after so many consecutive tough losses, the odd year alums may be afraid. This year’s game started out very one-sided, with the young guns coming out of the gate quickly and jumping ahead to a first quarter lead of 21–12. In the second quarter, the older alums were able to sort out some defensive problems and chipped into the lead a little bit, trailing 43–36 at the half. After a much needed

fourth quarter was more of the same for the older alums, who converted most of their opportunities and outscored their opponents 39–29, to win the game by a final score of 93–84. Special thanks to Christine Bramble and Patricia Zeuner for helping to man the scorer’s table so flawlessly, along with alumnus Henry Seto ’92.
