REVIEW OF ATHLETICS The athletic teams representing Baldwinsville High School have made a splendid record for 1930-31. After winning both the football and basketball championships of the county, the baseball team missed by the narrow margin of one game, making a clean sweep for the year. Of the twenty-seven games of football, basketball and baseball played against County League rivals, twenty-five victories were registered against two defeats. The girls' basketball team, Western Section Champions for seven years, failed to repeat this year, but only after losing two heart-breaking overtime games. Graduation will take over half the members from the teams, and conse- quently the prospects for as brilliant a season next year are not so bright. The teams this year have made a most remarkable record for future teams to try to better; however, with a few members of each team as a nucleus, and the continuance of the fine interest and spirit by the students, it may be possible to build teams next year to successfully defend the school position at the top of the County League.

FOOTBALL Another championship! In spite of the absence of several of the stars of the championship team of 1929, the team of 1930 won the second straight Major Section County League football championship. Those of the 1929 team who did not return were Crego. Kelly and Higgs, who graduated, and Furman and Pickard, who were over the new age limit of the League. As a nucleus for the 1931 team there were eight letter-men. Captain Bick- nell was back at his old position at guard, where he had his best season. Carroll, captain-elect of the 1931 team, the only backficld regular to return, developed into the best scholastic player in this section of the state. The cap- tain of the 1929 team, Seabold, returned and played his best game at center. Fowler started the season at end. but was shifted to the backfield, where he lived up to the good reputation he had established while playing end. Baker at guard played a dashing game, bowling any would-be tacklers from the path of the ball carrier. At tackle. F. Harrington put his 200 pounds in the way of many opposing players, who didn’t feel so well afterwards. All these remained from the first team of the year before, but Nesbitt. Price and Luce, the other letter-men, developed greatly. Price found his place in the backfield, where he played a smashing and speedy game, as the opponents soon found. Nesbitt played a fine game at tackle all season. Luce didn’t quite make a regular position, but he was a fine substitute, ready to fill any- one’s shoes along the line. For the remaining positions there were capable players from the second team. W. Bates showed himself a fine end. J. Har- rington, after a little while in the backficld. was shifted to end, where he played a dashing game. Bradway received the call for barking signals. Luce, Dillenbeck, Connell and Glass formed a very capable list of reserves. The outlook at the beginning of the season wasn’t very bright. The squad went to work when practice was called the first week of school, under the very capable direction of Coach Getman, with Mr. Durgee assisting him. Every player had greatly improved during the summer and was ready to begin a strenuous season. The first game, a non-League affair at Fayetteville, resulted in a 14 to 0 victory for Baldwinsville. The team played rather poorly, except for a couple of shows of power. Carroll scored both goals on runs of over 300 yards, and he kicked both points after the touchdown. The day was very hot and a bad one for football. Our first League game was at Camillus, a new addition to the Senior League and champions of the Junior League in ’29. This was the closest game of the season, and resulted in victory only in the last minute. The team played moderately well until the last quarter, when it played brilliantly. With a minute to go. Carroll was called upon to boot a field goal from the twelve yard line, which he did with his usual excellence. The following Fridav Solvay came to town, where it was repulsed to the tune of 14 to 0. Carroll scored both touchdowns from about 12 yards out, while J. Harrington kicked one of the extra points. Solvay came the closest to a touchdown when it went to the six inch line, but it was stopped dead there. The team traveled to East Syracuse to defeat them 30 to 0 in a sea of mud. Fowler was shifted to the backfield and .1. Harrington to end. where they re- mained for the rest of the season. During this game the team developed the power that made it famous. Carroll scored three and Price two touchdowns. Marcellus came to town and was trounced 46 to 0 in the rain. This was the highest score of the season against a team which played as good ball as any team played. Carroll contributed five touchdowns and four extra points, Price and Fowler one touchdown apiece to the rout. For the final game we went to Skaneateles to take them into camp, 38 to 0. On a slippery and muddy field Carroll scored five touchdowns and two extra points, and Price one touchdown. 31
