BASEBALL Coach Getman's call for candidates for baseball, immediately after Easter vacation, was answered by about forty boys. Individually and collectively the squad was green as very few of the previous nine were present. Poor weather further handicapped the squad and they had only very few practice sessions before meeting Marcellus. O'Brien, Mathewson and Sullivan constituted the pitching staff in the initial game and throughout the season. Madden filled the vacancy left by Gaylord in catcher's post and the infield consisted of Bush, Smallwood, Smith, and Sullivan. Bump, Rowe, and Mathewson were the strongest part of the team, doing a good job of fielding. The team was not able to hold their opponents throughout the season and finished in the cellar of the league. The lettermen are: O'Brien, Madden, Sullivan, Bush, Smallwood, Bradway, Rowe, Mathewson, Bump, Smith, Farnham, Crego.

BASKETBALL The 1933-34 basketball team opened the season with an overtime win over Camillus, only to be set back by Split Rock the following week. Winning from Marcellus, they lost to Skaneateles and Solvay. Then Baldwinsville seemed to find itself and defeated Jordan, Warners, and Camillus. Again Split Rock and Skaneateles were the stronger teams and beat Baldwinsville. The Crimson and White finished up the season by de- feating Solvay, Jordan, Warners, and Marcellus. Led by Captain John Mowins, the Baldwinsville quintet gained a position in the play- offs, beating Solvay, only to be squeezed out by Split Rock in a close battle that decided the championship of the Western Section. Mowins and Farnham, forwards, and Bates, center, were the only players with inter- scholastic experience in league play, however, Coach Getman added Crego and Sulli- van as guards and they, assisted by Smallwood, Bradway, Wilkinson and Rowe, formed a very strong team. During the season of 14 league games and 2 playoff games: Mowins made 113 points; Farnham 110 points; Bates 108 points; Sullivan 90 points; and Crego 40 points. Sullivan and Bates were tied for the honors for maximum points in one evening, each making 18 points in a single game. For the first time in the Onondaga County League there was a Junior Varsity team. The Baldwinsville Junior Varsity won about two-thirds of their games and thereby fail- ing to qualify for the playoffs. Among the players who starred in this league are: F. Sullivan, Bunney, Turner, Browning, Howard, Cole, Navin and Howland.

HOCKEY The 1933-34 season of Hockey marked the third year of this sport in Baldwinsville High School. For the first time Hockey was recognized as a major sport. The begin- ning of the season found about 35 candidates seeking positions on the squad. William Stafford was elected captain of the team for the year with Dominic Bochino and Walter O'Brien as managers. The schedule consisted of 14 games and at the end of the season the team ended in a tie for fifth place in the County League which consisted of 10 teams. The following members of the team received their block letters: Cole, Bigelow, Stafford, Jay Mercer, Turner, Heineman, Brown, Peters, Madden, Dunham, Johnston, Gettman, Virginia, Green. R. E. Cary turned in a very creditable showing as coach of the team and next year it is expected that he will enter a more experienced and stronger team in the league. ROBERT BROWNING TRACK For the third successive year, the school will be represented by a Track team at the County Track Meet, which is to be held this year at Liverpool. Baldwinsville won the Track championship of the County in 1924. The sport was dropped until 1932, when we finished second in the County meet, last year tied for third place. The Track team is handicapped by lack of a track or measured course for practice or meets. The team has had one dual meet with Jordan High School, winning by a point score of 46-26 and capturing six first places in the eight events. It is hoped the team will make a creditable showing against the teams of a dozen other County schools, at Liverpool on June 9th. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Class of 1934 Interclass Basketball team, although not listed as the best team that ever represented a Senior Class, nevertheless made a favorable showing, giving the op- position many a tough battle. It was decided at first that on account of lack of material that the Seniors would not be included in the league, but after much persuasion and a great deal of enthusiasm, they finally were allowed to play. The Sophomores won the championship, the Juniors were in second place, and the Freshmen and Seniors were tied for third. The students as a whole, showed much more enthusiasm toward class basketball this year, and they were rewarded by witnessing many exciting battles. RICHARD HOFFMAN ROBERT ADSIT GOLF Due to the lack of veterans, the Boy's Golf team did not start off very well. For the first time the County League supported a Girls' Golf team. The girls won one game from Marcellus and lost to Solvay. There is still one game to be played which will decide the championship. Golf is a new sport in high schools and is becoming very popular. Baldwinsville has had a goodly share of the golf trophies in the past years.
