After the hectic days Qigg Im of the early twenties, Emerson athletics, on the whole, slumped con- gpurm siderably. The teams were generally mediocre, occasionally show- ing a flash in the pan, only to be followed by depression. The last three years have produced a different calibre of teamsg they have again entered the lead of the county. Emersons ascent began with the football season of 1929 when the eleven won six of the eight games played. It continued to rise with the powerful basketball team of that same year, which, despite a poor start, put up a great tight for the county cham- pionship and finished second in the county standings. The football team the next season also started poorly, but finished up in a blaze of glory, tying Union Hill on Thanks- giving Day to break the Orange and Blacks seven year winning streak and winning the championship of North Hudson. The height of Emersons Athletic prowess was probably reached in last years basket ball season. The Blue and White five finished high in the county standings. The state tournament saw a fighting band of Emersonians sweep through the preliminaries trouncing Ridgefield Park, West New York, and climaxing their great spurt with a sensational Z3-14 win over Union Hill in the sectional finals. This victory earned them a trip to Asbury l'ark for the finals, gave them the championship of Northern New jersey and avenged in full the two previous defeats. The emotional frenzy that had carried them through the preliminaries wilted before what was probably one of the greatest teams in New jersey scholastic history, Thomas jefferson, and the Blue and White team fell by the score of -13-l-l. Thomas jefferson easily won the state championship the following night, lf one cannot agree that the height of lCmerson's glory was reached last season. he will most certainly agree that it was reached this past football season. The teams record is the best in l'Imerson's history: six of the eight games were wong but two teains were able to cross the lilue antl White goal lineg a total of llS pointg were piled up to Zo for the oppositiong and as a fitting climax, Union Hill was trounced for the first time in years, by a score of Z5-O. This victory gave them the championship of North llutlson for two successive years. It is no wonder then that with the foregoing array of accomplishments, Blue and White teams are feared by every school in the county and Emerson athletics once again has a place in the sun.
