able to note though, that even at this point with four successive loses, our players still showed pep and spirit, traditional of Baldwin students. Our annual game with Snowden was the first night game in Baldwin's football history. Baldwin tied the score in the third quarter with a touch down, only to have Snowden retaliate and get the lead again. Qur gridmen tried desperately to come back, but the Snowden line held, determined to win. They defeated us 12-6. The Highlanders lost again in their next game with Clark. ln this game there was an exceptional amount of passing by both the sides. Baldwin almost scored several times on their passes. lt was an exciting game with the team playing well throughout. However, Clark defeated us l9-U. Still not discouraged, our gridmen went out to face a definitely stronger team as they faced Dormont in their seventh contest Baldwin played a tough, good game on a very muddy field, losing to the tune of 19-6, for which they deserve credit considering the big team that Dormont had. Baldwin threatened this strong team several times but could only go across once. As we finally come to our last game, we recall another very muddy encounter. Passing was greatly hindered by the slippery field, and also the ball was slippy, kicking was almost impossible. However, Baldwin came near scoring about three times while Carrick had enough power to actually go over three times, making the score 19-U.

These facts we might say will review the games for those who did not attend them. After practicing hard for three weeks, the Baldwin Gridmen made ready for their first conflict. However, time soon proved that the team was not strong enough when Brentwood emerged victorious by a score of l4-O. Although Baldwin lost, both teams were evenly matched and the pep and spirit of each noticeable throughout the game. 'lhere was a good bit of passing, but neither side was greatly effective. In the second game, Baldwin met Bethel, and suffered a crushing de- feat under the fierce charging of a faster team. The Highlanders fought hard, and again tried many passes but were defeated by a score of 37-O. Facing a team that we never played before, our third game was played against Elizabeth. ln this game Baldwin scored their first touchdown. Our boys still showed their spirit and determination, though Elizabeth seemed to have more as the game ended 27-6 in their favor. Another new and very strong team were the big boys from Coraopolis as they rolled up a score of 33-6. Baldwin scored again and fought desper- ately, but our lone touchdown was not able to turn the score. It is remark- Page Nineteen
