Bennett GIRLS' SPORTS The girls' varsity basketball team. under Cap- tain Sperry. did not have a very successful season this year. Because of the swiftness and agility of the opposing teams, the Le Roy squad was often on the losing end of the score. Le Roy. however, was a plucky team and at least put up a number of good Dghts against the opposing teams. Leading scorers were Doris Dugan, Mary Mangefrida, and Bertha Sperry. The varsity L's were earned by Bertha Sperry, Doris Dugan, Mary Mangefrida, Lena Barone, Dorothy Rubens, Dorothy Starr, Doris Nixon, Charlotte Bovee and Florence Ward, manager.

The climax of the 1933 football season was a 2 to 0 victory over Batavia High School. This vic- tory gave Le Roy High School the championship of Genesee County as well as that of Wyoming County previously won through victories over Warsaw and Perry. This 1933 football season was one of the most successful in the history of the local institution. The Red and Black team played a total of eight games, winning six and losing two, In the classic game with Batavia, the wet, slippery field made it almost impossible for the backfield men to get away for long gains. Passing, also, was highly uncertain because of the slippery condition of the ball: and thus both teams had to resort to punting. The educated toe of Pete Peterson, LeRoy half-back, became more clever and more accurate as the game went on. With only a few minutes of play, Peterson booted the v ball to Ba.tavia's 10-yard line. This set the stage for Co-captain Letizia and Sanderson, both line- men, to block Bataviajs kick, scoring a safety and giving Le Roy the game. In addition to high-scoring backfield men and individual achievement, the foo-tball team is to be congratulated on its magnilicent spirit of cooper- ation manifested throughout the season.
