 --I-----■■ ■ry . w T BASKETBALL Baldwinsville started the season with the pros- pects of another great basketball team. The local team lived up to advance expectations by winning the first two games. They lost the next game to Jordan by a narrow margin in a closely contested battle played at Jordan. The team came back the next week to win from Split Rock on their own court. The following week the team was defeated by Skaneateles. Prospects began to look bad, but Coach Wes Getman’s charges came back with two wins to put them back in the running. In- eligibility then hit the local team with the result that they were unable to come out on the long end of the score again during the year. Following are the members of the squad that received block letters: Varsity Farnham (4 years) Smallwood Sullivan Turner Wilkinson Bunney Junior Varsity Robert Coates Donald Coates Rice Shriver Powell Sanford Manager, Bogdanoff Assistant Manager, G.

I FOOTBALL Although Championship rank was denied the Crimson and White warriors of 1935, a team of excellent ability was developed. Because of the ineligibility and injuries, the outlook for the Get- manites was very dark at the beginning of the last football season. In spite of this, led by Capt. Jim Turner, the team was victorious in five combats and also held Solvay High School, Onondaga County Champions, to a scoreless tie. The other two games of the schedule were defeats for the home team, one by a margin of a single point, and the second by the difference of a touchdown. The team can there- fore feel proud of its record even tho it failed to bring home any trophies. The following are boys who were awarded block letters for their service: Smallwood Rowe Farnham Van Wie Cole Rice Navin Dunham Turner, 4 years Hudson Gettman J. Mercer G. Mercer Smith Mathewson Vigrinia Heagle, Manager To the 1936 team under the Captaincy of John Navin, we of the Senior Class wish the best of luck.

BASEBALL Dogged by the same evil star that has followed B'ville baseball teams for several years, the season of 1936 has been one of few victories. The weak showing of B'ville teams may be attributed to many drawbacks. The latter part of April the weather was such that it didn't permit practice to any great extent. April tests also took their toll of many players who under ordinary circumstances would be eligible to play. The greatest handicap to a coach is having lack of material; year after year boys come out for the team who, if they had had suffi- cient training during sandlot days, would be just that much better. Baldwinsville, having no parks or tutors, doesn't give the young boy a chance to play until he has reached high school. He then must absorb all baseball in a few weeks. And this can't be done. After losing the first two games by decisive scores to Split Rock and Marcellus, the team finally hit its stride and won a close game from Warners. This victory over Warners may give the team needed confidence to remain undefeated through the rest of the season. May I May 2 May 12 May 15 May 22 May 29 June 2 Baldwinsville at Solvay Marcellus at Baldwinsville Warners at Baldwinsville Baldwinsville at Solvay Baldwinsville at Skaneateles Elbridge at Baldwinsville Baldwinsville at Jordan At the time this article was written only the first three games of the schedule had been completed. So, let's hope that the remaining part of the schedule will prove as successful as the game with Warners was. I - ROBERT COATES
