The season was opened with Hastings High Freshmen. The score was tied three times before Irving finally wong leaving the score at 19-11. As in football Irving defeated Iona School Juniors ij-9. The work of Captain Donham was creditable while Clifton and Young guarded well. The following week the Juniors met and defeated The Boys' Club of New York. The game was fast and the passing accurate. Donham again showed his ability by caging six baskets. The final score was 30-17. The Juniors closed their season by defeating the Iona Seconds once more by a score of 26-16. It is needless to say how much we appreciate our younger boys. And Mr. Hile is to be congratulated for his untiring efforts as coach of these young athletes.

.J ,, 3 IRVIANG SKETCH BOOIE .D Junior Football Resume At the opening of the 1926 football season, a time of the year when football occupies the all important position in the students' minds, twenty candidates reported for the Junior Football team. Among them were four men from last year's team, namely, Young, G. Portal, Gibson, Barkley, and S. Portal. Much fine material was soon discovered. Al- though the team was light it showed considerable speed. Under the able coaching of Mr. Hile they developed into a hard working combination. After a long period of faithful training the Juniors opened their seas- on against the strong Iona School. Irving Juniors avenged the two de- feats they suffered last year at the hands of Iona by crushing them 26-0. Captain Sherlock made two long runs which ended in touchdowns. Win- nie Donham also played well, making a run around left end of 60 yards, scoring a third touchdown. A feature of the game was a 40 yard pass to Bob Young who scored the final touchdown. Donham also made two extra points after touchdowns. The freshman team of Washington-Irving High School, of Tarrytown, next invaded our territory only to return a defeated team. Donham again ran wild making two of the team's three touchdowns, scoring more than half the total points. Sherlock also starred with his line plunges. One re- sulted in the third touchdown. The kicking done by Donham was laud- able, always kicking out of danger in the critical moments. With only one minute to play Winnie broke lose and raced through the entire Washington-Irving team for 75 yards. The final score was 18-O. By winning all of their games the Juniors were awarded the coveted I-Jrs. given only to undefeated teams. In their games the Juniors rolled up 44 points at the same time holding their opponents scoreless. Some of the Juniors will probably play on the varsity in 1927 and from their playing this year we feel that they will be of great value to next year's varsity.
