BASKETBALL, 1923-24 The season of 1923-24 was our first attempt at Basketball. We had two teams, a boys' and a girls’ team. The girls won the championship of the west section of the county, scoring 74 points to their opponent’s 22. They were beaten, however, by Fayetteville in the game for championship of the entire county. The greater number of the girls were from the low- er classes, only one being a Senior. While the boys won no championship, they did remarkably good work, winning eleven games and losing five, rolling up 499 points to their opponents’ 317. This included several Non-League games. Here the Sencrs made a better showing sending three of their boys to play. Altogether B'ville had a very successful season, in which no small part of the credit belongs to our new coach. Mr. Wesley Getman. Every- one is looking forward to a more glorious season next year. J. VAN B. COE. BASEBALL, 1924 The season of 1924 has been one of the most successful baseball sea- sons that B H. S. has seen for several years. Of the men who reported for practice, at the beginning of the season, only five or six were from last year's team. When the team went on the field for its first game with a new pitcher and a new catcher and only three of last year’s players in the “line up, w-© watched them with keen interest. It is sufficient to say we had reason to be proud of them. The team had a good coach, one who worked faithfully with the boys. Through the efforts of the coach and the manager the team was supplied with new equipment, purchased by the Athletic Association. This year, as before. Baldwinsville Academy joined the Onondaga County Baseball League, In which we were assigned to the Western Divis- ion. In this division were also Liverpool, Skaneateles. Solvay, Marcellus and Jordan. Besides the League games many non-league games have have been played. As this goes to press they have Just won the championship of rhis division. Considering the fart, that we had almost a new team and that condi- tions were unfavorable for baseball, the team has done very well. MARY SIXNETT.
