BASE BALL. 1925 The season just closed was a very successful one, the team winning six out of eight games. As the line-up of this year’s team was greatly changed from the one which won the sectional championship last year, it can be seen that, as a whole, the team made a very creditable showing. Under Coach Getman’s guidance the raw material of the squad was gradually molded into shape to fill the vacancies caused by loss of last year’s men, and it is due largely to his efforts that the team acquitted it- self in such a manner. In mid-season our squad was weakened by the loss of Carrington, our pitching ace, and it was necessary to finish the schedule with Captain Stevenson on the mound. This young “find” covered himself with glory when in the last game of the season he pitched a no hit, no run game against the Jordan High School. The team play itself was exceedingly good and much credit is reflected on the players for their exceptional fielding and hitting. Next year, with the loss of only two men, the team should have an even better season than the one just closed. Players who were awarded block letters for base ball were: Captain Stevenson, Turner, Montague, Fellows, Doran, Vader, Burton, Berney, Thompson, Carrington, Hayden.

Much credit is given to our coach, Mr. Getman. Next year with the same coach, we hope to wrin the County Championship.

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

The 1924-1925 Athletic program for the High School has been busy and successful. The school has been represented in football, basketball, baseball, and track by teams that have established good records and have been a credit to the school. Many boys have taken the opportunity to compete for positions on the teams and the result has tended not only toward stronger teams but also, equally important, has given a good per- centage of the boys athletic training. A football squad of 25 boys was maintained throughout the season, whereas 15 boys composed the basketball squad, and 2 0 boys made up the baseball squad. In addition to this Mr. Baker organized a club of the boys of Junior High School, which afforded many younger boys the chance to play basketball during the winter season. An Inter-class basketball league for boys, and a program for Junior High girls has given everyone an opportunity for athletic endeavor, and individually has kept the gymnasium boiling throughout the year. The County Athletic Association, which maintains the league in which our teams are entered, sponsored a track meet this spring for the first time. On short notice an inter-class track meet was staged and the ablest of the competitors represented the school in the County Track Meet which we won, closely followed by Eastwood and East Syracuse. The end of our football season found us second to Eastwood and East Syracuse who were tied. We lost to East Syracuse but defeated Eastwood and should have been in first place but for an unexpected and undeserved defeat at Solvay in a game played under unusual circum- stances. The other teams of the county were comparatively easy victims. The football team next fall should be powerful and experienced. On- ly Francis Carroll, veteran center, and Robert Turner, reserve quarter- back, will be lost to the team, whereas Captain Montague, Horwood Jones, Stevenson and Burton will all be back to make a strong bid for the back field positions. A. Jones, T. Smith, Krafft, Carrington, Shea, Vader, F. Turner, C. Klotz, S. Smith, Donahue, and W. Clark will all be back to form a strong line. In addition to these many Junior High School boys are developing to a point where they will make the older boys hustle to keep their positions. The Basketball team has been least impressive of the athletic teams representing the school. However, basketball is a new sport in Bald- winsville and the team has made a good record when all things are con- sidered. The team finished second to Solvay who won the championship of our side of the league. Two defeats by Solvay by the narrow margin of a point indicate the relative strength. Bruce Root who has played center for two years and John Miller will be the only ones lost to the squad by graduation. However, with Alex and Horwood Jones, Steven- son, Montague, and Smith back in school a strong team is assured. In addition there are Vader, Cooper, Hebblethwaite, Krafft and a host of 1)0} s from Junior High who are fast acquiring a speed and cleverness in basketball which will make them real contenders for the team. The Girls’ Basketball team, champions of the West Section for two seasons, will be hit the hardest by graduation. Dorothy Chapin and ellie Taylor, regular forwards, will be lost to the team, and it is rumored 22
