Coach Billy Lee managed to lead the members through a successful season of 11 wins and 3 losses. With the few veteran sluggers to help, the hoys aimed for the championship, but were defeated by Memorial High School of West New York, in the semi-finals of the H.C.I.S.B.L., at I nion City Roosevelt Stadium. The fighting machinery of the Garnets has been re-conditioned, therefore, there are hopes of a victorious comback in 1947.

Under the able tutelage of Coach Haring, they managed to chalk up a score of 2 wins, 1 tie and 4 losses. The team displayed power when they met Emerson on the official opening day, but in the second game they went down to defeat to the Memorials, who scored 38 to B. H. S.—0. The three following games were a repetition of the second. In the sixth game, with Demerest, the Garnets made a star score of 22-0, which saved their reputation. The final game, a tie with Technical High, was another face saver. Coach Haring claims that in the new team, he has discovered promising football material for a successful 1948 season.

Of the 19 games on the schedule, B.H.S. won 7. They made a hreatli-taking start hy defeating Holy Family to the tune of 36-16. The next three games were a loss to the Garnet and White, hut they made a comeback when they met Dickinson. As the scores indicate, their playing was unpredictable. The tossing of halls into baskets should have been easy, and with more practice, we feel certain that with four players over 6 feet 1, and one who is 6 feet 4, next year's team should reach stardom. Ray Chakey demonstrated amazing speed, and Alan Mercer, with his dead eye, saved many a game. Mercer has zip and aggressiveness that are invaluable assets. Despite losses, and the fact that Clifton nosed B.H.S. out of the finals, the team displayed evidence of future success. Slivorka, Parowski, and a Ferris opponent 103
