28 FOOTBALL INTRAMURALS BASEBALL FOOTBALL For the second straight year, Candor's football team finished in second place in the league. The boys finished with a 5-2 record, losing the first game of the season to Spencer and the last to George-Junior. The Centralltes entered the Spencer game with several key players suffering from prac- tice injuries and to make matters more diffi- cult, Ed Winnick suffered a fractured cheek bone in the early part of the game that shelved him 'til the final three games of the season. Bud Bauer suffered a foot ailment that permitted only limited service in the latter part of the season. However, despite this, Bud was an outstanding offensive threat When at full strength, Candor fielded as fine a team as any in the league with Doane, Ward and Storm on the line and Winnick, Bauer and Osovski in the back field. From this group, only Doane and Storm remain, with the possibility of Bauer's return. However, Coach Vetter has a hard working group of reserves in Morgan, Williams, Thomas, Kilpatrick, Harris, Brewer, Dougherty, Cozdeba, Sykes, Johnson and Bruce Storm, who are expected to fill the gaps left by graduating veterans. DANCING CLASS Many students become careless about their dress and grooming as the daily school rou- tine goes on. Something is needed to create some pride in their appearance and it is surprising how effective the dancing classes can D6 in accomplishingthis rejuvenation. These are held every Friday for about six we- eks. They learn to round and square dance. It helps toward better grooming and also aids in developing social poise. The students learn a new confidence and receive an assur- ance of enjoyment because they know how to dance and how to conduct themselves. The physical education cadet teachers have been putting the students through their paces in this social dancing class, too. They have taught many new dance steps, and learned a few new ones from the students. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CADET TEACHERS Starting January 27th, moans and groans have issued from the Candor Centralgymnasium. The cause---a cadet teacher! For the first time in history, Cortland State Teachers Col- lege has begun to send girls who are majoring in physical education to Candor for ten weeks off-cmnpus teaching. The first Cadet, Miss Eva Stevens, re- mained in Candor from January 27th to March 28th. Miss Stevens says she knows that the students will be as nice to the following ca- dets, as they have been to her. Miss Stevens successor, Miss Gartland, arrived March 51 and remains until school closes. Since the cadets have been here, grades one, two and three have received twenty-min- utes of physical education per week and grade four, forty minutes. By giving rhythms and other games in the lower grades, it is hoped that Candor's boys and girls will develop greater coordination and flexibility which will aid in the development of skill. INTRAMUHAL PROGRAM Intramurals form one of the most import- ant parts of the physical education program at. C.C.S. Coach Vetter organized teams in a variety of games which were played off during the noon hour program. For the first time, intramurals were conducted in-a six man football tournament. Notre Dame, captained by D. Thomas, won the H. S. boys league. The volleyball play-offs were won by the Sophomore girls. This was the first time in several years that the sopho- more team placed first. Basketball intramural games attracted the largest number of partic- ipants. There were two leagues of high school boysg the Eastern and Western. In the Eastern league were the Desolates, Sad Sacks, Whiz Kids and Gallopin' Ghosts. Captains were R. Kelsey, P. Ward, E. Storm and N. Sullivan. The Sea Waves, Saggy Socks, Eager Beavers and Black Hawks, captained by B. Storm, D. Weber, C. Sykes and R. Lovejoy, comprised the West- ern league. The high school girls's league had six teams. Seventh and eighth graders also had a two league play-off. Each league was made-up of four teams. Fifth and sixth grale boys had four teams on the floor and played a promis- ing game of basketball. BASEBALL Candor can look back on the l9h6 team as the finest in the history of the school. It was a season resplendent with thrills, hopes and bitter disappoinments. The team revolved around its great bat- tery, nwinnick pitching, Osovski catchingn. These boys show such promise that Winnick was offered a contract by the St. Louis Cardinals and Osovski was given a tryout by the New York Yankees. The C. C. S. team won top place In the Southern section of the Tri-County Conference Ed Winnick's pitching and timely team hitting were major factors which contributed to our victories. Outstanding feats were the two victories over a strong Newark Valley team and the team's bid to play at Cooperstown. The team's bid to a play-off was based on the fact that Cooperstown was champion of Broome, Tioga and Chemung counties on the strength of their seasons record. This is the first time Candor ever won recognition to attend such an outstanding event. Sam Osovski suffered a fractured finger which kept him from playing until the final game. Central lost this game to Newfield. The accident cost Candor its second league championship as the team had no one capable of holding Ed's slants. Ed averaged fifteen strike-outs per game and pitched two no-h1t- ters. However, Ronald Kelsey must be commend- ed as an outstanding replacement for Sam,con- sidering the fact that he stepped into the catching berth with no previous experience. Ed Winnick won the batting championship with an average of .5. Coach Vetter awarded a trophy for this honor, and each year's winner will have his name inscribed on the trophy. As the Annual goes to press, baseball hopefuls may be seen swinging a bat and prac- ticing a new curve. However, with the spring mud in full view, it's good football weather.
