FOOTBALL When a team smashes its way through an undefeated league season, thereby winning the undisputed championship of the league, it is generally agreed that that team is a great team indeed. So it was at Baldwinsville in the season of 1929. when a great Baldwins- ville team swept through the Onondaga County League, to claim the cham- pionship of the County League. In 1926, Baldwinsville High School possessed the finest football team the County has ever seen. That was truly a wonderful team. Teams such as that don’t come every year, or every twenty years; but the 1929 team came as close to equaling the record of the great eleven of 1926 as any Baldwins- ville football team is likely to come in some years. Summary Baldwinsville 13-Camillus 7—In a pre-season game at Camillus, Bald- winsville outplayed the Junior Division Champions to take a decisive vic- tory. Baldwinsville 14-East Syracuse 0—The first league game of the season and with our old rivals, East Syracuse, 1928 Champions. This game was played at Baldwinsville and a very eager crowd looked on with satisfaction as the Balwwinsville team smashed through the heavy East Syracuse line for two touchdowns and sweet victory. Carroll scored from the four-yard mark to spill first blood for B’ville. Late in the fourth period. Captain Sea- bold intercepted an East Syracuse pass, which he converted into a touch- down. Baldwinsville 7-Favettcville 7—Coach Gctman used this game to ex- periment with new lineups and plays. The game was a non-league contest and was loosely played. ... , , . Baldwinsville 13-Marcellus 6—B’ville continued its march by downing Marcellus on the latter’s field in a hard fought game. “Irish Carroll did most of the ball carrying in this game and scored all of the points. Baldwinsville 13-Myndersc Academy 6—B’ville journeyed to Seneca Falls to win a hard fought game from Mynderse Academy. This was one of the hardest played games on our schedule and Baldwinsville found Myn- dersc a hard team to beat. 25

Baklwinsville 26-Skaneatelcs 0—Skaneateles was no match for a deter- mined Baldwinsville eleven and looked very unimpressive beside their con- querors. Skaneateles had the heaviest team in the league but offered the least resistance to the B’ville boys. Every man in the Crimson and White back- field contributed a touchdown to B’ville’s overwhelming victory. Baldwinsville 13-Solvay 0—Baldwinsville cl.nched the County title by •outwitting Solvay in a clever game of football on the Solvav field. Baidwins- villc scored the first touchdown on an oflf-tackle smash and Pickard added the second on a reverse play after Fowler had recovered a fumble in Solvay’s territory. Baldwinsville O-Morrisville 14—Played on Alumni Day at Morrisville, it was the only defeat of the season. The Baldwinsville line was working smoothly and the heavy Morrisville team could not break through for a single first down. But the B’ville backfield went to sleep on the defense and allowed Morrisville to use their only effective weapon, the forward pass, to score twice on two passes. Baldwinsville had the ball in the Aggies’ ter- ritory for the greater part of the game but lacked the punch to put it over. The 1929 team will graduate the following boys: Kelly—a veteran of four years and the only man to be a member of both the 1926 and 1929 championship team. He played a good game of ball at tackle for the B’ville team. His size and aggressiveness will be sorely missed. Higgs—playing his first year, did a great job at guard. He will be a bard man to replace. Seabold—Captain and center, knows his football and certainly has shown it. Mr. Getman will have a task to develop a center as dependable as “Pee Wee”. Furman—playing his first year as a regular, gave a good account of himself as a backfield man. Coach Getman gives Furman the compliment of being one of the best safety men he has ever had. Crcgo—played a steady game at quarterback and was well supported by a well balanced backfield. Coach Getman was assisted by Horwood Jones in coaching this year’s eleven. Between the two of them the boys were put through an intensive football drill. Their efforts were rewarded by a championship team. Coach Getman lias established an enviab’e record as athletic director; he has turned out some teams of high calibre. Football, unlike basketball and baseball, re- quires more attention that it is possible for one man to devote to the game. With the assistance of Horwood Tones, Mr. Getman was aide to in- troduce a well balanced system of football which bore favorable results. Let us hope football receives the same amount of attention in the future. The 1929 team was honored by having three of its members chosen on the AM County Eleven. Carroll. Seabold. and Fowler were chosen on the first team. Ricknell and Kelly won second team positions. Pickard was chosen as a third team back. Furman received honorable mention. ROBERT FRITZ CREGO. GOLF For the first time in the history of the county league, the royal and an- ■cient game of golf took its place among the sports in which most athletically inclined bovs engage throughout the year. At a meeting of league officials it was decided to include golf in the increasing number of games sanctioned by the league, and a schedule was drawn up dividing the countv into an east and west section, with five teams in each section. Candidates for Bald- winsville’s first official golf team convened at Mr. Elden’s bidding and elected Fritz Crcgo as manager. Through the new manager’s efforts the Seneca Golf Club was secured as a battleground for the Crimson White niblic swingers. To the officials of the golf club who made this possible the team and the school are deeply grateful for their cooperation and support. 26
