We next played Altamont who gave us our hardest fight and second defeat. Altamont succeeded in scoring in the third period, and led the rest of the game by 6 to O. Oswego was our last home game, and we went to an easy AO to l2 wln with Shaw scoring 3 times, hdwards twice, and Shears once. Shaw, Webb, Wade and banfield were responsible for the extra points. The last game at Baxter, with our ancient rival, was a fitting climax to a successful season. with Canfield, Reynolds and Webb ripping faultless holes in the right side of the line, and Gray and Bankson opening up the middle, we sent Shaw over the goal line for l3 points, Shears for 6, and Wade for one. Time after time Reynolds or Johnson broke through the Baxter secondary and smeared the ball carrier for a loss, and with Canfield and Wallace playing superb football at the end positions, we simply couldn't be beaten. rt A ga ,Qld d f l - .
