On Saturday morning. May third, the team stood ready to engage Camil- lus, their first rival, hut due to lack of material and interest in the old Scot- tish game, the cutlery-villagers defaulted, giving the home team an oppor- tunity for some much needed practice. Drawing a bye on Saturday, the tenth, a team composed of Morris Blanding, Fred Wilkinson, Francis Rus- sell and Fritz Crego matched strokes with a hard-hitting Central High School aggregation and emerged triumphant by the score of 8 2 to 3 2. This match was played by way of preparation for Skaneateles, but that school also defaulted to the home team. Solvay High School was the next opponent and Blanding, Wilkinson, Russell and Philip Cooper continued their good golf in defeating them. 11 to 1. Meanwhile, Marcellus with a team of Tuscarora caddies was also win- ning easy victories over the same teams which Baldwinsvillc had vanquished. The final match of the schedule found these two sterling teams battling it out for the supremacy of the western section. Consequently, the same team which defeated Solvay crossed clubs with the foe from Marcellus and after an in and out struggle eked out a 7 to 5 victory, largely through the excel- lent work of the number three and four men, Wilkinson and Russell. With the western championship crown resting firmly on their brows, the team awaits a play-off with the champions of the eastern section. The result of this match can only he conjectured at the time of writing, but it is certain that the team which downs the Crimson and White foursome must be capable of excellent golf. B’Yille also has one more match with Nottingham of Syracuse, a team which stands high in the City League. The home team is closing a very successful season and indications point to more victories next year.

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
