26 THE TOOT FOOTBALL Canastota 19—Oneida 7 Scoring a 19-7 victory over the tradi- tional Orange and Blue gridmen of Oneida High School, Canastota High School opened its grid season with high hopes. Bill Sicilia passed and ran the Red’n’ White football warriors to their first victory over the Dun- canites since 1937. The outstanding play of the day was the fleet fullback’s interception of a pass on his own thirty yard line, dash- ing madly to pay dirt, seventy yards away. The following Saturday saw the Schmidt- men on the short end of a 6-0 score at Proc- tor High School, but rallied in great fashion in their next game when Cazenovia Central was swamped by a 32-6 score. It was the best game that the C. H. S. boys played all season. Whitesboro then came here to mar the only home performance of the team when they inflicted a decisive 31-19 victory stem- ming a fourth quarter rally of C. H. S. From there on, Canastota never regained its win- ning stride. At the annual Civic Club Banquet, Frank Morano was chosen the outstanding football warrior of the ’40 season and Bill Sicilia was elected Captain. The 1940 gridmen included S. Giufre, E. Marchetti, B. Buda, H. Wood, J. Mussachio, J. Tornabene, P. Ackerman, D. Phipps. A. Eppolito, E. Cretaro, B. Hamlin, V. Hall, F. Morano, W. Sicilia, E. Cretaro, R. Cronk and S. Ezzo. C. H.

THE TOOT 25 GIRLS’ SPORTS Archery The girl’s archery squad started the 1941 season with three new stationary tar- gets. Now it is not necessary for us to carry them in and out every day and it enables the girls to shoot more often. The Board of Ed- ucation also purchased several new bows and several sets of arrows for the archers. This helped a great deal for there are many girls out for the sport. It has also attracted many members of the opposite sex. Summing up, it is an all-around favorite of everybody and “no sissy sport” as has been formerly thought. The. schedule for the year has been as follows: Play Day at Cazenovia, Morris- ville-Eaton Central school and the state archery meet at Liverpool. Some of the arch- ers were E. Uhlig, A. Lindley, M. Grilli, N. Greiner, D. Durfee and N. Severance. Baseball The girl’s baseball team started out the new season with a whole crew of new re- cruits. We have sets of batteries in the per- son of Florence Buttino and Santina Patane as pitchers and Mary Fratini and Jessie Moore as catchers. Other members of the squad are: M. Grilli, S. Miller, R. Ippolito, A. Lindley, F. Salamone N. Greiner, R. Mar- iano, N. Severance, B. Schmidt, F. Aquino and E. Russo. We anticipated another suc- cessful season to measure up to the victories of the last three years. Games were played with Sherrill, Oneida, Cazenovia, Morrisville, Verona and Munnsville. Field Hockey Despite the fact that there were not enough shin guards to go around and many girls suffered from scraped legs, the hockey team engaged in a most successful year. Home and home invitation games were play- ed with Sherrill, Cazenovia and New Hart- ford. Of six games played, five were won and one tied, that being to Cazenovia. The following girls participated in the games: A. Mason, R. Mariano, F. Buttino, M. Malvaso, T. Albanese, A. Lindley, F. Salamone, C. Harle, A. Eppolito, E. Russo, V. Cox. Par- ticipating in the intramural program were: E. Acker, B. Schmidt, J. Moore, R. Ippolito, J. Ippolito, V. Cesario, M. E. Argersinger, N. Greiner, A. Fusillo, J. Fusillo, N. Severance, S. Stagnitti, F. Aquino, S. DeMauro, V. Fo- ley, B. Sutton, M. Caldwell, A. Fusillo, M. Cunningham, L. Licciardello, M. Malvaso and S. Sorci. The team climaxed their successful sea- son with a party at Miss Heller’s home on the occasion of her birthday. Refreshments were served and entertainment was provided by Miss Heller’s moving pictures. —NANCY GREINER CLASS WILL (Continued from Page 20) To John Bogardus—a road map of Madison county so that in the future he won’t park in the fields.

THE TOOT 27 BASKETBALL Although the record of victory and loss- es does not speak too highly of the Canas- tota High School basketeers, the boys are to be complimented for their fine showings in losing close contests that befell the squad. Due to the increased defense work in the industrial department Mr. Silver Casabarra, was forced to resign his head coach position in mid-season and Wm. “Pinky” Schmidt took over the reins. Never before, as in this season, has the lack of material been so evident. Time and time again, due to injuries, reserve players were drafted into the varsity. The reserves, under the coaching of a former basketball star, “Dock” Giufre, won 7 of their 15 contests after a poor start. The ’41-42 season looks very bright for C. H. S. in the basketball world as the squad will not suffer greatly from losses of mem- bers due to graduation. The results of the games were: C. H. S. 17 19 C. H. S. 28 41 C. H. S. 27 C. H. S. 24 C. H.
