BOY’S BASKETBALL In looking back over our schedale this year’s basketball schedule is bet- ter than last year’s. Out of the 25 games we played we won 14. Unfort- unately, most of the games lost were league games of which we won 4 and lost 6, putting us in fourth place in the North Central New York Bas- ketball League. C. H. S. had a fast team, each player struggled for a place on the first team. If records prove anything, C. H. S. ought to win a place in the trophy department next year. Block letter men for the year are: Capt. G. Gustafson, S. Tornatore, L. Lake, S. Shaffer, F. Peretta, C. D’Am- ico, T. Russo, C. Tornatore, K. Clarke, T. Spadafora, C. Dentler, manager.

THE TOOT 29 FOOTBALL TEAM Front Row, left to right: C. Dentler, M. Clarke, J. DeMauro, F .Verro, V. Grilli, J. Robison. Second row, left to right: D. Nodecker, L. Hough, H. Nor- ton, William Schmidt, Coach; J. Maloney, S. Wood, W. Potter. Third row, left to right: H. Bellamy, G. Shaffer, G. Gustafson, L. Lake, G. Kliock, E. Nichols. Back row, left to right: R. Dew, T. Spadafora. Absent, K. Clarke. FOOTBALL Although C. H. S. had a team which looked as if it might put up a good fight and win most of its games, we ran into more competition than we an- ticipated. We had a team which would not give in. After a defeat it would practice all the harder for the next game with the result that the scores were raised above those of the year before. When Ken Clarke hurt his shoulder in the Rome game it was thought that one of our mainstays in the backfield was lost for the rest of the season but he was soon back on the team, fighting as hard as ever. An- other boy who took a lot of punish- ment was Joe Reed who was hurt in several games. There will be several players who will be greatly missed on this year’s team. They are: “Scud” Dew, “Gord” Klock, “Ed” Nichols, “Ebert” Wood, Olle” Gustafson. Those who received block letters are as follows: “Scud” Dew. “Gord” Klock, “Ken Clarke, “Vinnie” Grilli, “Joe” Reed, “Syd” Shaffer, “Joe” Mau- ro, “Ebert” Wood, “Laddie” Lake, “Jim” Maloney, “Howard Bellamy, “Pidge” Norton, “Putt” Nodecker, Harold Hollenbeck. The scores for the year were: C. H. S. 7 C. H. S. 6 C. H. S. 6 C. H. S. 6 — Fayeteville 0 C. H. S. 0 C. H. S. 6— Utica 41 Total 31 148 —Carl Dentler

P. team by a 3 point margin. On January 17, 1930 they defeated Fulton by 11 points, the following week however, they lost to the Fulton lassies. They played two-court rules and needed only 7 points to beat the Fultonians. Following this game they won 8 con- secutive ones and lost their final game at Cazenovia by one point. This made a total of 14 games and only two of which were defeats. The following girls won their block letters: Ruth Greiner, Captain; Ver- onica Capparelii, Helen Greiner, Eliza- beth Musacchio, Jennie Mae Eaton, Charlotte Church, Mary Frost, Mabel Church, Florence Ackerman, Elena Albanese and Margery Cady, manager. Much credit must also be given to Martha James and Helen Hough. The reserves won two games from the Sherrill Reserves by large scores. All this proves what a fine coach we have. We all appreciate the best coach we have ever had, Miss Jutkie- wicz. The girls were entertained at a ban- quet at the home of Florence Acker-
