THE New Providence Public Primary Schools Sports Association will conclude its basketball tournament for boys today at 9 am at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium.

Pool B had to be decided by the point differential after there was a three-way tie for second place behind Cleve- land Eneas. CW Sawyer defeated Yellow Elder 10-6; Sadie Curtis def. CW Sawyer 12-10 and Yellow Elder def. Sadie Curtis 9-3.
