When school opened last September, the boys were overjoyed to hear that the school had purchased the necessary equipment for a six-man tackle football team. Then the boys began ask- ing one another, 'What position are you going out for?W Soon after, it was time for practice to begin. Although the team members came ' out regularly for practice, they were hindered by the delay of the arrival of the equipment. The season start- ed Off rather poorly, since our first game WHS P0Stponed because of the absence of suits.

X This year we completed a satisfactory basketball season, even though we did not win top honors. Competition was stiffer because of a change in leagues which brought us in games with Schenevus, Worcester, and Milford. Practice games were played with Harpursville, Hartwick, and Franklin, four of which we won. When the league season was closed, Milford and Worcester were tied for QNX Sx Coach Mr. Ferris Manager Ralph Ford first place, with Otego placing sec- ond. At the inter- sectional games held in Oneonta, we elim- inated Morris, thus gaining the right to meet Cherry Valley. By a small margin, we lost. Harry Bouton, John Herring, and Thomas O'Hara repre- sented Otago on the team of the Eastern Section for the All- Star Game. Both the students and coaches of Eastern Section won. The Junior Var- sity teams toiled hard, but won only one game. Otego's total number of points was L96. Total number of opponent's points was LLL Individual player's score for season follows: Harry Bouton John Herring Everett McKee Edwin Hunt Ivan Countryman Walter Utter Donald Bouton David Goble Thomas O'Hara James Cannon Orlly Mattison l6O 159 50 L5 35 19 12 8 3 1 0
