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.
