FOOTBALL Cantonvs football team this year, except for a few new members, was made up of players who had seen action the year before. The team, led by co-captains Lesieur and Nascimbeni, started out the season by overwhelming the Torrington second team 36 - O. The next game Canton played host to a fast aggressive Berlin team and suffered a 32 - 6 set- back. The next week Canton traveled to Hartford to play the American School for the Deaf and was defeated by a score of 20 - O. Canton went to Winsted the next week to play Gilbert, but after putting up a stubborn fight were again de- feated by a score of 19 - 7. Canton had their second win when they defeated Woodrow Wilsonvs second team by a score of 21 - 6. The last game of the season was with Simsbury. Although the team fought hard, all the breaks were against them and they lost by a score of 13 - 6. BASKETBALL Canton Highvs basketball team led by David Goyer went through a tough season. Almost all of the teams they played outclassed them,because of their superior height. Canton has won 5 out of 18 games. We put up a lot of fight, which held several games to a very close decision.
