FOOTBALL The football season for 1931 was a variablo success,» The team, thougn. light and not so very rugged, managed to give a good account of itself. Porhaps the most disastrous game of tho season was the gamo against our foremost rival, Oneida. Oneida with a wonderful team managed to give us a severe beating, the score boing 41-0. The most inspiring gamo of the season was tho Fulton game. The Fulton team was much larger and faster than our team, they had much more experience than our team, but they lacked tho old C.H.S. spiric and tho rosult was a 7-7 deadlock. It was a beautiful gamo and both teams deserved credit. Much credit must be given to ,!Pinky,, Schmidt, our able coach» Hi3 untiring efforts produced a scrappy bunch of players. His system showed well and his teahhing was invaluable. Wo have only three letter men, they are: Joseph DeMauro, Q.B?; Vincent Grilli, H.B.j and Floyd Clarke, Tackle. The letter man arc: Joseph Robison, Morodith Hough, Victor Enmi, Fred Vcrro, Richard Keller, Vincent Grilli,(captain), John Farnach, Arthur Robison, Bernard Sykes, Janos Maloney, Edmund Burke, Robert Bortlo, Samuel Finnocchiaro, William Dougherty, Gussio Herlan, Howard Weimer and Joseph DeMauro. Scoros of Games C.H.S. 0 - Hamilton, 12 C.H.S. 19- Phoenix 6 C.H.S. 0 - R.F.A. 13 C.H.S. 6- Lowvillo 0' C.H.S. 0 - Oneida, 41 C.H.S. 6- St.Aloysious C.H.S. 7 - Fulton, 7 C.H.S. 0- Carthago 14 BASKETBALL Tho 1931-32 Baskotball season was a great surprise. C.H.S. had only one veteran eligible for play, namely, Vincent Grilli. Fortunatoly, due to a good team from Junior High, Pinky was able to round out a basketball team of moan ability. Of the 20 gamos played the team won 9. It is not a World's rocord, but it tends to show that with a year’s experience the boys who aro loft to play willshow groat gains. Vincent Grilli and Morodith Hough are lost to tho first team but the places left vacant by them vu 11 bo ably filled. The strength of the team can be seen in the surprising number of close games. Oswego High a real contender for the State crown gave us a bad boating here but only boat us by one point on their homo court. Tho season should bo called a success for we beat our old rival- Oneida, in both gamos.

Nothing daunted, this spirited aggregation travelled along at a great rate suffering only two more defeats in the entire season. For a new group built up by a new coach, ten victories in thirteen is very good, The following girl3 received their block letters: Martha James, Ruth Sweezoy, Dorico Olcott, Goraldine Davis, Alice Cstrander and Muriel Smith. Dorice Olcott easily led in the scoring race. This was Miss Heller's first year hore as girls coach and physical training instructor and her team certainly shows the touch of a master hand.
