Davis FOOTBALL team finished in second place in the W.l.A.A., with a record of five wins and one loss. Only a lack of league games kept Davis from a title, as New Rochelle, the eventual winner, played two more games than we did. Davis' overall record was 7-1 including two non-league victories over Pelham Memorial and Edison Tech. FOOTBALL TEAM - 1899 A highlight of the season was the placing of four boys on all-county teams, with sixteen boys from Davis mentioned in the voting-a county high. Charlie Buehler, center, and Pete Berland, quarterback, were first team selections, While Teddy Ramsey, a speedy halfback, and Mike Rossi, a powerful guard, were chosen on the second team.

DeMaio, E. Melinsky, G. Potter Mr Mlnerley An interesting triangle was shown by the Davis, New Rochelle and White Plains games. White Plains gave Davis its only loss 25-6, hut the following week, they were beaten 28-0 by New Rochelle. The Huguenots had rolled up six straight victories, scoring 218 points to their op- position's 0. The former were distinct favorites to trounce the Maroon. How- ever, a Friday evening rally set off the upset spark, which prevailed in the Sat- urday game. The Hilltoppers caught New Rochelle Hat-footed in the first few min- utes ofthe game, when fleet-footed Teddy Ramsey outmaneuvered the Purple sec- ondary, took a long pass from Pete Ber- land and went 50 yards for the first score against New Rochelle. So surprised were the Huguenot players, and so incensed with the thought of victory was Davis, that there was no stopping us. As long as any annals of Davis foothall are kept, the New Rochelle game will rank among the hest for one of Davis' greatest teams.
