Football and Football Schedule The Bulldogs faced one of the toughest sea- sons in the history of the school. In the first encounter of the season Bub Folk, veteran end, seriously injured his shoulder which caused him to be out until the Thanksgiving game. Also on the list of casualties were Turk Laidlow and Bill Pierce, both of whom suf- fered leg injuries. The team was fortunate in having their vet- eran guard, Harold Gregory, return for the Charles Town victory. At the end of the season, Gregory was chosen all C.V.A.L. guard. Harold Gregory and Turk Laidlow were chosen co-captains by the team at the close of the season. For the first time in the history of the school, the team met the strong Anacostia High from Washington, D. C. Although losing the game, 7-2, this was considered one of the best games of the season. Another of the well- played games was the Bulldog's encounter with Charles Town, which terminated with 13-6 victory for the home gridders. The football season closed with the Thanksgiving game with Winchester which resulted in a 13-0 defeat. The team received their letters and bars in assembly in January. These awards were pre- sented to the boys by Principal Miller. We They Charles Town 13 6 Berkeley Springs ,c,,,, Y ,... - 13 7 Fort Hill .,,... ...V . . 25 0 Anacostia acaa. ....

Laidlow is outstanding for pole vaulting, Bill Pierce, Ellsworth Wil- son, and Bill Jenkins for the 440 yard dash. The team competed in the Annual sectional meet, the C.V.A.L. meet and several other in- vitation meets. Tennis The tennis team began practice late in March under the direction of Coach Ison Shreve. The 1942 squad suffered from losses of last year but many of the older members returned. Clar- ence Long, Clifford Sperow and James Biedler, veteran players, returned for this year's season. The squad were fortunate in receiving return matches from various surrounding high schools. The tennis squad had a most successful season and will suffer the loss of many of the veteran players it will lose by graduation. Both the spring sports, track and tennis, which are held on Saturday afternoons, would be greatly aided by the support of the students.
