ATHLETICS B Team Basketball The B team received an abundance of material from last year's freshman team. The reserves gained many close victories and sometimes came through when the varsity failed. The small squad took the measure of some of the strongest reserve aggregations in these parts and deserve much credit for their stirring performances.

ATHLETICS D A Team Basketball This year's varsity was positively amazing as the Blue and Gold blazed a brilliant trail through the first part of the schedule by winning Hve straight league games and four non-league tilts while losing only one contest to Am- herst. Then, after losing the thrilling over-time game to Holley, Oakfield cracked, the attack bogged down, and the team lost three of the last four encounters including the play-off game with Holley. Highlights of the season were the 38 to 39 victory over Holley, the 25 to 23 overtime conquest of the taunted LeRoy quintet, and the 27 to 25 extra-period defeat by Holley which marked Oakf1eld's downfall. On a whole, this season was successful but very disappointing. The Blue and Gold had the championship of the Genesee-Orleans League within its grasp only to falter twice, and finally be routed out in a play-off match with Holley.

Oscar Anderson Joe Jacobbi ATHLETICS Freshman Basketball The freshman basketball team was organized again this year under the direction of Mr. Richard Beebe. The team elected officers as follows: Presi- dent, Frederick Stornellig Vice-president, Amelio Taddeig Secretary, Alfred Vallese. Practices were held in the morning on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri- day of each week. This year the team did not play out-of-town gamesg they engaged in intra-mural competition and in the morning played many games with various other school teams. Since there was a change in state regula- tions, the Freshmen could not play any inter-scholastic contests because they would lose a year of eligibility for high school competition. Last year's freshman players stepped into B team berths and contribut- ed a large measure to Oakfie1d's success. It is hoped that this year's prospects will carry out the purpose of the club and bolster the B -team strength. Those who took part are as follows: William Bird Merlyn Chamberlain Carmin Corbelli Lawrence Greene Howard Hartley Alvin Hilchey Zane Isenberg Felix Latko John Ludeman Thomas Moore Frank Perozzi Fred Stornelli Amelio Taddei Alfred Vallese
