V. 28 0 Nov. 2, Hancock 13 0 Led by Captain john O'Rourke the Football team surprised its followers by going through a tough sched- ule, undefeated. The highlights of the season were the victories by Deposit over North High Jayvees of Binghamton, and over a highly touted Hancock team that had previously downed all its opposition. By winning the Susquehanna League Championship, the Sth Football championship in 10 years is credited to Mr. Fox's record. BASEBALL April 24, Windsor at Windsor April 29, Hancock at Deposit THEY Dec.

Guided by Mr. Fox, they should give a good account of themselves in League Competition. The Lumberjacks paced by Vere Conklin, won the Championship of the Susquehanna League, thus boost- ing the total of Basketball championships to 7 in 10 years. TRACK Due to the early publication of this Yearbook before a Track schedule was released, the 1941 schedule will be omitted. But tentatively the Track team will compete with practically the same schools that they did last year. Although last year was Lee Conklin's first year on the Track team he was good enough in the quarter mile to push Jack Sliter, holder of D. C. S. quarter mile record, to a new record each time they competed. Lee should do great things this year. Included on the track roster are Ralph Hall, Elwin VanValkenburg, and Vere Conklin, members of last year's team. Among the newcomers are a few promis- ing prospects who should develop rapidly due to the able coaching of Mr. Kent, and Mr. Sutliff who will assist Mr. Kent this year.

GIRLS SPORTS During the year many of the girls have active parts in the play days and tournaments. There have been approximately twenty playdays for the school year 1940-41. Better than half of the Junior and Senior high girls took part in at least one playday and in many cases, five or six. The procedure for organizing a playday usually comes about as follows: two schools correspond and decide to meet on a Saturday for basketball, volleyball, tennis, archery, speed- ball, or a combination of these or other games. Quite often a lunch is served, after which there is social dancing. Last fall the girls had an especially interesting 12-school meet with prac- tically every fall sport.in evidence. Tournaments are conducted in table tennis, badminton, tennis, archery, tenniquoits, volley- ball, basketball and softball. For participation in these tournaments points are awarded and under the present system set up by the Girls' Athletic Association, it is possible for a girl to earn a letter even though there no longer is girls' varsity basketball. A girl may also earn points in hiking, winter sports, bicycling, horseback riding and noon hour care of the chil- dren on the playground. Sixty-five girls ,are working for their letters and about twenty of these have already earned one. 65 points are required for a letter.
