Fifty-two Varsity Soccer SHORT while after school opened in Septemlber, Coach Kufs issued his First call for candidates for the aipproaching soccer season. Approxi- mately 35 stalwarts answered his summons. After a few weeks' practice, the local mentor cut his squad, and on Septem- ber 25, the locals invaded Hudson to take a 6-1 trouncing from the Hudson booters. In this contest. lllalcy Alamillo, Chatham goalie, sustained a knee injury that kept him out of action for the remaining part of the season. On October 2, when Chatham invaded Lebanon, the locals booted the leather eight times through the uipri-ghts, while the Valley team could not penetrate Chatham's airtight defense. The score: Chatham 8, Lebanon 0. The Scarlet and 'Black booters made it two in a row on Octiber 7, when they dumped the Lebanon School for Boys at Chatham 5-1. The locals scored at will against a poor defense set up by the Shakers. Capt. Smith, of the visitors, however, played an outstanding game to score Lebanon's only tally. The hapless Lebanon High eleven came to Chatham on October 9, and again the Hicksmen wilted under the local's fire, to go down to a 9-1 lacing. A1 Binsse, Charlie VVYman, and Pat Flood, Chatham's fast-moving forward wall, accounted for a large share of the locals' points. In the most stirring contest of the year, Chatham played a 3-3 deadlock with their rivals, Hudson High at Chatham on October 24. In the first few minutes of play, Al Iiinsse sent the leather home twice to give Chatham a commanding lead. However, heavy fouling on the locals' part offered to the visitors several penalty kicks, which they converted to tie the score at 2 at half time. In the third period, Hudson forged ahead on a goal by Remy, but Frankie Curry came through with a timely goal to deadlock the score at 3 all, at the end of the regular game- An overtime period failed to bring a score, so the game was left with both teams on equal terms. The Lebanon Boys School evened up the score when they turned back Chatham at the Shakers' fiield 5-3, on November 2. Playing in near freezing weather on a wet, slippery field, Chatham couldn't get under motion while the home team gained their revenge. In the final game of the season. Chatham lost a 4-2 decision to the R. 'P. I. Frosh at the Engineers' held in Ti'-oy. The locals playing with Al Callan on the sidelines with an ankle injury, put up a game fight against the sufperior Troy team. Bob Simmons scored the goals for Chatham on two penalty kicks, against the fonmer Chatham player, Art Danyew, who was holding down the goal position for the Frosh. Chatham ended the season with three wins, -three losses and a tie. The locals ran up 31 points to their opponents, 20.

Fffiyfauf T H E T A N A G E R Varsity Basketball HEN Coach Kufs called for basketball candidates, his ranks were well depleted by graduation, and but a handful of second string men were available, but the local mentor turned out a small, speedy cluib that Won 11 games and lost 10. Although they failed to garner the County Champion- ship, the basketeers scored a stunning upset over Corinth High in the Class C., N. Y. S. P. H. S. A. A., to retain their sectional title- The lolcals won eight games and lost four in the county loop for the runner-up position, as the league this year was won by the Roe-jans. The locals got away to a poor start when they were tripped by a powerful Alumni live, 'but opened their league season by turning in three early wins namely, trouncing Valatie, Lebanon and Germantown at Chatham. In an off week-end. trhe locals played the poorest basketball in the history of the school and dropped the next two contests to St. .lohn's and Valatie. How- ever, they camae back in their next two starts to drufb Kinderhook and Phil- mont. The Roe-jans qulintet duvmped the Railroaders at Chatham. as did Albany Academy on the Cadet's court. Chatham came back again to defeat a hapless Van Buren team, but lost a loosely played contest to Lebanon in the valley. In two of the closest con- tests of the year, Chatham eked out a victory over St. john's here, but lost a very close tilt to Searles also in the local gym. The locals romped over Germantown next at the Fruitpickers' court, but Searles again tripped Chat- ham on the Bay State court. The locals won over Philmont here, but lost the county title to Roelifi Jansen on the Hillsdale court. The Alumni again romped over the varsity for their second win of the year. Entering the Class C. playoffs, Chatham defeated Roesseflville in nice shape at Troy High School. In the following week, the locals went to Troy to meet Corinth High in the finals. The Corinth squad was the heavy favorite, having won 27 straight contests. However, the Scarlet and Black five step- ped away from the wonder team and upset the dope by winning 29-24 be- fore a thousand spectators at the R. P. I. gym. Pep Smith led Chathamls team in scoring with a total of 114 points, fol- lowed by Robert Simmons with 97, and Captain Wyman with an even 80. The following boys received block C's for their work on the varsity: Charlie VVyman, Captain, Ted Callahan, Fred Eames, Howie Ploss, Pep Smith, Bob Simmons, Jack Traudt, Donny NVood, Frank Curry, Bob Scofield, Earl Simmons and Manager, Willard Grant.
