PURPLE AND GOLD Page 45 l ' Football , Season The football season of 1925 was the most won- derful C. B. A. ever had. It was such because of the obstacles to be overcome and the glorious record achieved. Playing eleven games against the best teams in New York C. B. A. was bested only once. The Brothers' boys might justly claim the football leadership of the greater part of the state. They defeated the champions of Northern New York in the Ogdensburg game. They con- quered the champs of Central New York in the Central game. They ran rough shod over the best team in the west in the St. joe's game. Even the most stubborn of critics could ask for no more than this. Early last fall the prospects for a real football team were exceedingly dark. There were only a few veterans. The squad of forty was com- posed almost entirely of new men with little or no experience. Besides this, the coach was new to C. B. A. and the fellows had to change their style of play to conform with his. It requires but a glance at their record to see how admirably they did this. But the worst obstacle they had to face was the bad weather. A football team never went through a season under more unideal con- ditions than C. B. A. did in '25. Some games were played in rain, some in snowg they were all played in slush and mud on the worst fields imaginable. But, little daunted, the team fought through all obstacles, to the last chalk mark of a successful campaign. There was one characteristic of this team that caused it to tower above all others. It was its wonderful spirit and dogged determination not to lose. Time and again they started as the under dog, only to emerge victorious, often by over- whelming scores. What other team could come from behind so consistently to win? It meant condition and fight and spunk, qualities which no one can say this machine did not have. Starting out with a handful of green material, Mr. Fairman molded one of the finest grid aggre- gations that ever represented C. B. A. Ten vic- tories and one defeat is the great record achieved by this squad. Ten men played their last game for C. B. A. in the final against St. Joe's, but they carry with them the memory of the wonderful season of 1925 and it will be a long time before it and they are forgotten at C. B. A. THE SEASON'S RECORD: C.
