finals on March 17 and 23. First
night of play on home courts saw
the JCCAers emerge safely with a
15-9 decision. Tire second night of
play on Trinity courts brought
tougher opposition and many more
closely-fought matches that ended
in a 12-all tie, to give the JCCA
players the title on the strength
of their first night victory.
During the home - and - home
game series, the ladies’ doubles
teams of Kay Ogaki-Amy Kitamura, Fumi Kitamura-Teiko Kishimoto. Dot Matsumoto-Chiz Fukusaka were shellacked and outplayed, 12-0. The men’s doubles
teams of John Tanaka-Frank
Matsui, Ken Fukusaka-Junji Ike­
no, Mi Akiyama-Tom Iwasaki and
Matt Matsui-Duke Tanabe almost

Organization’s entry in the city
church league came a cropper
when the Empress United quin­

the Niseis, 40-30, on March 19,
; St. gym.
The Nise ; played their usual
fast and hard-fighting game but
the breaks were against them in
a poorly* refereed wide-open game.
Excitement ran high at- the half
when the score was tied 14-alI.
Niseis took the lead in the third
quarter to draw ahead 23-19, but
the Empress hoopsters came back
and went away with a big 10-point
win.
\
Bob Nunoda scored four bas­
kets for S points, while -Art Obokata and Fred Sunahara shared
second place honors with 7
points apiece. One- more league
game with Wesley United, is
scheduled before playoffs in

made up for the ladies’ losses with
a 11-1 conquest.
The margin came in the mixed
doubles series, in which the usu­
ally strong JCCA team did not
seem to click so well, especially
on the final night when five
teams split their matches. But the
total 16-8 score gave the Niseis
the “C” championship. This win
automatically advances the JCCA
Church of All Nations shuttiers
into “B” competition in the T. and
D. Church league next season.
SHUTTLE TALK: As expected, the
teams met their strongest opposition
in the finals. ... It was the third

Trinity femme players tower close to

The final night’s 12-all ti* added up
274 individual points for JCCA to
Trinity’s 271 which shows what a close

In the four playoff
games, against Deer Park United in
the semis and Trinity in the finals,
records show that the ladies’ doubles
won 8 and lost 16, men’s doubles won
23 and dropped only one, and mixed
doubles won 35 and lost 13. We hear
that a cup and individual crests come to
the champs.
As the Niseis finally make history in

enough to lose in two straight rounds,
it is eliminated.

sets of 15 points, set at 13 and 14.
The entry fee is SI.50 for one event
and ?2 for two events. Individual pups
will be presented to the six ‘“A”
winners while medals will be awarded
to the “B” winners. Closing date for
