gl? --in xy. CHAPTER THREE OYLESTOWN has had sports since the beginning of the twentieth century, but it wasn't until 1925 that the modern sports program for boys was organized when Mr. William E. Wolfe was afldezl to the faculty. On his arrival Mr. Wolfe immediately began coaching football and baseball and two mi tor sports, tennis and track. It did not take long for the new coach to prove his ability, for in that same school term the football team fivished with three victories, five defeats, and one tie, which is commendable for a team whose members never playel football in school competition. The basketball five, which Mr. Wolfe took over a year later, won the Bux-Mont championship, but lost in the P.I.A.A. play-off. The girls' sports program began much later than the boys. It was in 1958 that archery and tennis were added to class basketball and hockey to make the four sports i1 which girls now may participate. Miss Lillian V. Kelley has been the pioneer in the girls' sports. She coaches archery, hockey, and basketball, while Mrs. Mabel Elliott has the other sport, tennis. The girls have had difficulty with their sports program because the facilities for practice have been used by the boys. An example is varsity basketball which the girls had to drop because the boys used the only available gym. This situation will be remedied when a new school is built. 45
