BLANCHE 0. WELDEN. BASEBALL Baldwinsville High came through the season undefeated until we played the championship game. We played a hard, fast game but North Syracuse had the stronger team. Due to Coach Getman’s training our players went from victory to vic- tory and made the name of Baldwinsville shine in the Sport columns. For another year Baldwinsville has carried away another Western Section Cup of the County League. Many of our players from last year came back and made our team stronger. Our star moundsman, Marshall Stevenson, was greatly missed but Walter Doran brought us to victory by his strong pitching. Although he was hit on the right arm at Elbridge by a pitched ball, he was at his best during the championship game. The players were faithfully supported by the whole school at every game. The organized cheering as well as the attendance kept up a strong school spirit. The championship game was a hard fought game from beginning to end. No runs were scored until the third inning when by errors three were chalked against Baldwinsville. SCHEDULE B. H. S.

FOOTBALL The 192 6 football season was the biggest success in the history of the school. Our team after taking second place honors for three years, finally came through with the championship. Coach Getman with but few veterans moulded a strong and alert team. Our first two or three games were easy victories, but from these to the end of the season we had to fight for what we got. Jones, our husky center, made the center of the line unpenetrable. Shea and Kettell, the charging guards, were towers of strength in every contest. Donahue and VanWie, tackles, proved themselves heroes in every game. Players like Montague, Johnson and Kelley on the ends, stopped many end runs and broke up many passes. The backfield was composed of fast and shifty men who could buck the line and run the ends at will. Stevenson was noted for his open field running and passing. He was honored with a position on the all- scholastic team. ; |$j I ij}|| O’Brien, the other half-back, was a hard line plunger. He got off many long punts during the season. Captain Pierre Montague was as good a quarterback as ever donned a high school uniform. His level headedness in the pinches and good choice of plays carried the team out of many holes. Smith played full-back. This combination succeeded not only in going through the season undefeated, but in holding their opponents to seven points. This is a record seldom established by a high school team.
