VAR H17 PORT NCE more the publication of the Bemus Pointer rolls around after a year of vacation. With the end of the school year close by, we find that the Bemus school again is drawing to the conclusion of a successful athletic season, under the direction of Coach james Scofield. . The varsity Basketball Team, under the leadership of co-captains Samuel Lucariello and Donald Kelderhouse, went through a hard thirteen game schedule with but four losses. They were heralded as champions of League Ill of Chautau- qua County. The Volley Ball Team again reached the finals in the county tournament, losing only to the champion Dunkirk team. C. O. B KETB LL The Bemus Point High School basketball team of the '39-'40 season was one of the best teams turned out in this school for several years. The team won nine games and lost four, one defeat being a 23 to 18 setback by Chautauqua for the County Class B Championship. The Bemus Point High combination opened the season by being turned back by Frewsburg 22 to 15. ln the next two games the team beganto look better and took Ripley and Mayville. On january 12, one of the closest games of the season was played on the home court with Forestville. lt was a hard battle and Bemus lost with a short score of 19 to 18. Bemus defeated Brocton, Dunkirk Vocational and Lakewood in succession, but were surprisingly defeated by a fighting Ripley team. Bemus from here defeated Forestville, Brocton, Mayville and Dunkirk to win the league Ill championship qualifying them for the Class B Championship game with Chautauqua. To mention the outstanding men on this season's team would be difficult, for Coach Scofields charges were a highly efficient, coordinated combination. The Bemus Point reserves had an undefeated season, out-scoring their opponents 395 to 148 points. The prospect for future years looks very promising. if MEMBERS OF THE VARSITY Samuel Lucariello, rf.
