Of the eight games played, the Cubs lost but two, and these were lost to the first teams of Green- wich High School .and Curtis High School. Their goal line was never crossed by a second team, and they accomplished that which has never been accomplished since 1907: the defeat of a Clinton second team. Yonkers, who has beaten our second team with a- regularity which has been all but discouraging, was well beaten by a score of IO to O. lylontclair lylilitary Academy was beaten 5ito O when Captain Rapp, on a fumbled punt, picked up the ball and dashed across the line for the only score of the game. T VV ith the exception of Captain Rapp and Raffo, the team was a green band of players, all of which were rounded into shape by Coach O'Neil. Schmidt, O'Heir, Frazer, Hagemeyer, and Wieners were all worthy of playing on the first teams of most of the high schools of the city. The Cubs consisted of a squad of about twenty fellows, the so-called subs at times outplaying the regulars and at all times making them hustle to keep their positions. , y The schedule and line-up follows: A Team, Position.

Although there were a number of veterans back inschool, it did, not seem as if the open positions Would be Hlled With competent men, and the chances of a Well-balanced team seemed very remote.
