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.

BASKET BALL TEAM Faced by the loss of two veterans and the most difficult schedule of any team in the Onondaga County League, Baldwinsville, surprising even its most ardent supporters, came through with a bang, placing second in the County League, winning 10 of its games and scoring 329 points to 290 for its opponents. In the schedule of two game series, only Solvay, league leaders, defeated us in both games, and they only by a three-point margin. The East Syracuse, Onondaga Valley, and Skan- eateles series were even breaks, while Jamesville, strong title contenders in the eastern section, defeated us in the only game we played them. This year’s team was a team of scrappers who played the game for all it was worth and fought up to the final bell. They were a team of whom the school may well be proud. Their record made against teams of greater size and experience, stands as proof of their worth and ability. Much of the success is due to Coach Getman. Coming here last year, he has so developed the talent and ability of the boys he had to work with, that from a squad of green, inexperienced men who had seldom even seen the game played, he brought forth a team that was ever a threat in the league race and a dreaded opponent. In Captain Alexander Jones the team had a good leader, a man who kept the team in good spirits, always fighting and working co-operatively. His defensive work was good and his always ready “Let’s Go!” worked wonders when points were needed. Root, a Senior, playing his last sea- son with B. H. S., was high scorer, gathering 107 points during the sea- son. His all-around work at center was good. H. Jones, Smith, Steven- son and Montague did well all season, while Miller, Vader, Krafft, Kelly and Cooper came in for their share of the honors. We thank the public for their support which made the past season not only a victorious one but also made a new financial record. 20
