Basketball, Cont'd ing from Tully. The following week they again lost a game. this time to Jamesville. From then to the end of the season the Flying Dutchmen never allowed another loss. VVinning their hnal scheduled game against Fayetteville by a top heavy score of 32--17. As it has been mentioned before Liverpool lost out in the finals but still retained the eastern division crown. A This is what you might call a very successful season. Out of 14 games played they suffered only three losses.

But the reason is obvious when you learn that the greatest majority of players are Fresh- men. Despite their inexperience they won live of their twelve scheduled games. The reason for all this new material is that last years Junior Varsity are this year graduated to the Varsity where they won -the championship. After losing their first game to Manlius the jay Vees came back to win the two following weeks over jamesville and Tully. North Syra- cuse and East Syracuse then stopped Liverpool's victory streak very decidedly by trouncing us by top heavy scores. Fayetteville, however, fell before the shooting of Caligun, the following week when he tallied six field goals. Starting the second half of the schedule with three wins and three losses the jay Vees again dropped two games in a row but managed to edge out a vict- ory over jamesville the following week. The East Syracuse game provided the most excite- ment when it went to two overtime periods before the East Syracuse J.V.'s finally scored a basket. Liverpool won their final game of the season against Fayetteville to make their total number of wins five. The results for 1937-38 season junior Varsity are: Dec. 3 Liverpool 11 Manlius 16 Dec. 10 H 26 Tully 16 Dec. 17 26 jamesville 11 jan. 7 6 East Syracuse 12 jan. 14 8 North Syracuse 24 Jan. 21 ' 21 Fayetteville 12 Jan. 28 9 Manlius 25 Feb. 4 ' 10 Tully 12 Feb. 11 ' 26 jamesville 19 Feb. 18 A 15 East Syracuse 17 Feb. 25 ' 20 North Syracuse 27 Mar. 4 ' 21 Fayetteville 14 199 205 The team consists of: F.

HE HFLYING lDUTCllMlEN,'l the name by which our basketball team was known this year swept every thing before it in the eastern division to win the championship. The team made up of the former championship J. V. mem- bers played the kind of basketball that the high school has looked forward to for many years. It is the first time in the history of basketball at Liverpool High School that a Varsity team has won a championship. The joy brought by their triumph in the eastern division was only slightly dampened when Liverpool lost out in thc play-offs to Fayetteville 35-34 after defeating North Syracuse 38-H33 in the semi-finals. Vlliezel and XViers were the high scorers for Liverpool and both were chosen for the county all star game. Kraushaar, another veteran play- er was out during the first half of the season but turned in a splendid performance for the last half. Karl was something of a forgotten man as he seldom got a Cl'l21llCC to score. His playing, however, was responsible for a good many of the Page Eight teams victories as he turned in the best job of guarding that has been seen in quite a while. Parsons also did his job well as a guard. VVork- ing together, Karl and Parsons turned back team after team to allow XYiers and XViezel to score. Vlliegand, Ellis, Crawford, Barrett, Bahn, and Preston complete the squad, a worthy bunch of players any way voa look at it. The season started off with out much enthus- iasm. The team barely nosed out lVlanlius 21420. However, Liverpool again won over Tully 24-16 and interest over the team began to be aroused. The following Friday the team snowed jamesville under 2746 and the high school became basket- ball crazy. Friday, january 7, Liverpool again Won, score Liverpool 253, East Syracuse ll. The name Flying Dutchmenu was now sup- plied and they lived up to it by taking the nett two games very handily to finish the first half of the season undefeated. january 28, Liverpool af- ter a hard fought battle dropped their lst game 21-20 to the last place Manlius team, aft Pr wi 1 1-

UR BASEBALL nine has had what might be called a successful season in some ways and in others definitely not. Although Liver- pool had a fairly experienced nine they were not expected to be much of a ball club and after Liverpool dropped their first game to Minoa by a score of 9-4. This theory seemed to be correct. Butl Liverpool surprised everybody and in the next rame really went to town against Fayette- ville, shutting them out 541. Kraushaar was in superb form and struck out 15 men and limited the Fayetteville batmen to two hits. The follow- ing Friday they again scored a victory this time over Manlius. Baker won his first game of the season in this contest. The following week Liver- pool pulled the biggest surprise of the season. Beating North Syracuse who were undefeated in twenty games. This victory put Liverpool in a tie and necessitated a play off game with North Syracuse to decide the eastern division champion- ship. Now comes the heartbreak of the season. After obtaining a four run lead our team blew-up and North Syracuse quickly passed us and the final score was 14f6 giving North Syracuse the division championship. The players making up the team this year were: Green, Chuby, C. Vlfiegand, H. VViegand, Barrett, Preston, Crawford, Ellis, VViers, Kraus- haar, Baker, Rockdashil, Clary, Lindermayer, Schriener, Bahn, D. Kraushaar, Donovan, O'Malia, Lateau.
