The next victory for Cloverdale was won from the whirl¬ wind team from Sebastopol. This was the best game of the season, as the teams were evenly matched. At the end of the first half the score stood even, and was 16 to 16 during nearly the whole of the second half. Cloverdale made the winning goal as the time whistle was being blown. Reger was easily the star. St. Helena was our next opponent, and we journeved to that city only to meet our first defeat. The score was 14 to 21, and they had the best of us from the start. d he first game under the auspices of the Sub-League was played against the team from A illits. It was their first game and they were overwhelmed from the start. The final score resulted in 6 to 29. I his entered us in the semi-finals, and we went to San Ra¬ fael to play the Mt. Tamalpias Military Academy. Owing to the small court we were defeated, 42 to 24. After this our team was disbanded and new officers elected. Belford was made captain and Reger, manager. We got out for several football practices and tryouts, but found that our team would lack weight, so did not send it against any outside schools. Our track team had a little better succe. ' ' . We held one meet on the school oval. The Grammar School athletes and McCrays took part. I he High School boys succeeded in winning the meet with Belford, taking first place in the mile, half mile and 440. Mc¬ Cabe took the high jump at 5 ft 7 in., which gives the record to him. Abshire won the 100 and secured second place in the 220. No records were broken, except the high jump. During the summer a great deal of interest was taken in tennis, and Dan Sink was selected to represent the school. In a very close match he was defeated by a small margin by the alumni player, Frank Sedgley. Score 6-4, 7-9, 7-5. ° ur baseball team was not as strong as could be, owing to the lack of ability, but we made a good showing against the invincible team of the grammar school.

Athletics The summer and fall of the year nineteen ten and the winter and spring of nineteen eleven, our school enjoyed the most success in athletics that it has for some time. Owing to the efforts of the boys of the school, though few in number, and the interest taken by everyone, we had speedy basketball and baseball teams, and very good track and tennis teams. Early in the fall the boys went into training for positions on the basketball team, and it was one of the captain’s most onorous tasks to pick his players. The players selected to represent our school were: Centers, Brush and McDonald; forwards, McCabe, Reger, Thompson; guards, J. Sink, D. Sink and F. Belford. The first game played was against a team picked from the city schools. After a hard fought game, in which Mahoney, of the visitors, had the skin torn from the bottom of his foot, the home team emerged triumphant with a score of 17 to 33. McCabe played a star game, making 20 of the points for the home team. Soon after this game our boys lined up against the strong team from Healdsburg, with Beason as their center, and Lampson and Eldridge as goalers. The Cloverdale boys were in the lead from the start and by their classy team work, play¬ ed the boys from the prune city off their feet to the tune of 12 to 21. The third game scheduled was with Geyserville. The team work displayed before was in evidence, and with Reger and McCabe as forwards, Brush as center, and the Sink Brothers as guards, Geyserville went down to their first defeat, the final score being 14 to 27. By this time our team had gained confidence enough to enter the Northwestern Sub-League, and played the first game in Healdsburg against the representative team of that city. At the end of the first half we were behind by 6 points, the score being 12 to 6; but again by our machine-like team work we forged ahead and defeated the home team by 23 to 19. 23
