with Herkimer, St. John’s Reserves and Weedsport. We lost only three of the ten games. Of these, two were league games and one non-league. The outstanding game of the season was played with Eastwood, which team won the championship of the league. This game resulted in a victory for Baldwinsville by a score of 9 to 7. When one takes into consideration the fact that Baldwinsville was not only the one team to defeat Eastwood, but also the only team to score against them, it can be seen that wre had one of the best teams of the league and one of which Baldwinsville can be proud. At the close of the season, an all county football team was picked by a well-known football expert. One of our men, Robert Shea, had the honor of being placed at right guard on the team. Another one of our men, Marshall Stevenson, received honorable mention. These two men are not the only ones who deserve credit for it was the team working togeth- er as a whole that gave Baldwinsville the successful season. Next year with the loss of only one man, Francis Carroll, a Senior who played a fine game at center last fall, the team has a fine chance of winning the championship of the league. The following football players were awarded block letters: Pierre Montague (Captain), Alexander Jones, Francis Carroll, Marshall Steven- son, Evert Thompson, Ralph Carrington, Frank Turner, Robert Shea, Truman Smith, Theodore Vader, Sloan Smith, Robert Turner, Thomas Reeder, Shirley Wormuth, Charles Klotz, Clifford Burton, Horwood Jones, Edward O’Brien.
