Basketball Team

The Geneva women's basketball clubs[2] played Sunday, November 20, the annual Coupe de Genève, won in 1935 by Atalante, in 1936 by U.G.S., and in 1937 by Atalante.

After many difficulties to obtain the "Palais des Expositions" [Exhibition Center][3], this event finally took place at the Electoral Building[4], a room which is particularly suitable for this kind of competition.

From 9 am to noon and from 2 to 5 pm, the meetings followed one another without interruption and the teams competed in ardor and skill to appropriate the pretty prizes made available to them.

The results of these different matches:

Alalante--CA.G. : 25-11
S.S.U.--Chêne: 4-12
U.G.S.--Servette: 11-21
C.A.G. --S.S.U. : 21-5
C.A.G. --U.G,S.: 12-15
Chêne--Alalante: 5-34
Servette-- U.G.S. : 13-14
S.S.U. --C.A.G. : 6-21

In the final, Atalante beats U.G.S. 22-16.

The Cup therefore goes definitively to Atalanta who won it three times.

U.G.S. won the second prize, a ball from Maison Allegri-Sport, and C.A.G. the consolation cup. Servette and Chêne are tied and S.S.U. in last place.

This event, organized by the Women's Commission under the control of the Technical Committee, has been very successful, and already the CF which seeks to develop women's basketball in Geneva and Switzerland, prepared for next spring, after the championships. Geneva, an international tournament with the participation of French, Italian and Swiss teams.[5]

At the moment the championship is taking place in the training premises, but we have a lot of difficulties, rooms too small, irregular schedule, etc., and the CF hopes that the Technical Committee will want to examine the possibility of finishing our championship in the room of the Electoral Building.

It would certainly be preferable for women's basketball.
