ATHLETICS ... Athletics were on the whole very successful at Leyden this past year. In football the Maroons enjoyed a fair season despite high caliber competition. Their string of four wins and two ties against three defeats was not so evenly matched by the lightweights who won two games out of seven played. Coach Watson’s basketball Eagles however, enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in many a campaign. The Eagles annexed the Northwest Conference championship for the second time in Leyden history. Their unbroken chain of twelve victories also set a record never before achieved by any heavyweight cage team in the conference. The season s record for the Eagles was nineteen victories and four defeats; while the ponies obtained second place in the conference lightweight standings with nine wins and three losses. The Senior girls ruled supreme in girls’ athletics, winning the basketball, baseball, and volleyball tournaments with nine victories and no defeats. Twenty-five
