After summer recess, D-M's squad of athletics retumed to the Alma-Mater and climbed into foot- ball togs to resume war on the opposing schools. After three weeks of grinding into shape, D-M successfully met Hinsdale at Delevan and the season was under way. Another win over Limestone made D-M even happier. The big test was coming! D-M was to lock homs with Little Valley at the county seat and the winner would probably take the crown. All who saw the game won't easily forget it. D-M consistent- ly bulled through and around Little Valley and then would suddenly draw back and send 'em deep with a pass. Early in the second quarter, half-back, Bob Roberson was badly shaken up and re- ceived a broken nose. ,He didn't know it at the time and continued playing. At the end of the third quarter, D-M led by 27-7 and needed only a matter of minutes for a victory. But iniuries took their toll and the D-M attack stalled, ran out of gas and stopped. The margin dwindled and L. V. surged ahead. D-M made a final attack but L. V. withstood it and took top honors in a 34-27 victory. The following week D-M faced West Valley and waited too long to start playing and took a 45-46 defeat which ended in almost complete darkness. The rest of the season went well. D-M warped Ellicottville 48-29 and wound up the season in a blaze, beating West Valley 44-20. Congratulations are certainly due to this D-M team. 35

l L BA EBALL I953 Crack! Wood met leather and an easy grounder went out to the Little Valley short-stop. He scooped the ball easily and whipped his peg. Suddenly the D-M bench went wild, for the ball was sailing high over the second basemen's reaching glove. This was the break and D-M's runner on the third base streaked for home and then came the umpires cry of safe! D-M had broken the extra inning tie and had won the Catt. County Class C Championship. It had been a good season and D-M was almost satisfied. Hinsdale and West Valley both lay behind, both victims of D-M. Also there was Holland and Cattaraugus who were defeated in non- league tilts. Our defeats had come from Arcade and West Valley'but we were the Champs. D-M now went to Salamanca to meet Clymer for the Bi-County Championship and to revenge a basketball defeat. The game was a pitching masterpiece with Roy Scott and jim Sproul sharing honors. Roy for his one run pitching and jim for his booming 2 run homer early in the game. The score stood at that, 2-l favor of Salamanca. The Team traveled now to Hamburg to meet Holland in a sectional play-off, where they were plagued by errors and batting weakness and came off short by six runs. The score was 10-4. Al- though we didn't go all the way, everyone knows we had a great season. 36
