FULTON HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 27 FOOTBALL, 19 1 7 In the year 1917, the Football Team, under the guidance of our Coach Prof. Maure and our Captain, James Judd, experienced a season that was marked by an unprecedented and phenomenal success. Prof. Maure, who had been a thorough and 'fall-around athlete in his College days, still retained his ability in Athletics, and the clever plays that he knew, illustrated and taught to the team, made it invincible to all other teams that faced it on the gridiron. Ile was a man of high ideals and a. sense of fair play and these de- sirable characteristics. had a most pleasing' effect upon those who came in contact with him, with the result that the members of the team were not only skilled athletes, but were thoroughly imbued with a nobility and fairness that was paramount. Captain Judd proved himself to be a man of grood judgment, a talented athlete and the faculty of inspiring the respect and admiration of the mem- bers of the team. Ile had a most cont:-i.g1'ious fighting spirit that seemed to spread to each member in the team. The result of such an excellent Uoach and l'aptain was most g.:'ratil?ying.r as can plainly be seen by a perusal of the following splendid schedule that had been planned by Manager Pooler before the season started: Won 63 Tied 1'g Lost 0.

FULTON HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 29 BASKETBALL The Fulton Iligh School flushed with its success in Football undertook, with vigor and confidence, the activities of Basketball. A most successful schedule was played against out of town teams, both on our court and on the courts of the opposing teams. Then it became necessary to decide which team was the Champion in the city. The Mutineers, and Holy Names, the other two city teams had experienced a successful season and both expected 10 come out ahead in the Championship Games. A schedule was arranged with each one of these teams, and although many had predicted that our team would be hard pressed and would not stand much chance of winning, it came out the victor. The other two teams had practically given us no op- position at all and we had soon demonstrated beyond a doubt that we were the Champions of the city. ' When Captain Keene LePointe enlisted in the Medical Corps, he was succeeded by Kraus, whose playing was a big feature. Prof. Maure, who had begun the coaching left to assume the duties of a higher position in another city, and was succeeded by Prof. Darby. Mr. Darby undertook the coaching and his ability was shown by the excellent playing and creditable showing of the team. Carlyle Pooler, next year's manager, promises a good schedule for next year and Captain-elect Kraus, predicts another championship team.
