V936-37 BASKETBALL The Owego Free Academy has experienced an unusual and interesting basketball season during the past year. It is unique be- cause of the marked Fluctuations in its Fortunes, such as winning from some of the more experienced Fives of the league, yet losing a bitterly contested game to a team perhaps a bit below the Varsity's rank. Although handicapped by the loss of men from last year's squad and the sickness that spread around Owego durin the season, Coach Hubbard put his squad through daily drills wit? perseverance. By doing this he eventually rounded outa Five that could work with keen precision and cooperation. We all know we had a team that was hard to beat. The Indians came through with honors this year by winning the Southern Counties' League championship for the second consecu- tive year. The whole student body is to be praised For the cooperation given the team which, although Fighting against overwhelming odds, came through with victory. After winning over Norwich, Newark Valley and Elmira l-leights, Coach l-lubbard entered his team in the sectionals at Boynton Junior l-ligh School at lthaca. On March 14 Waverly handed Owego its most bitter defeat of the season with a score of 25 to 23. Knox, Dunn, and Alexander are lost to next year's team but Coach l-lubbard has seven veterans with which to build another championship team to represent the O. F. A. during the 1938 season.

lNTRAMo..,-sL SI- , The intramural sports program under the direction ot Mr. Eales was very successful this year. We were given a new gym floor last tall and there was much enthusiasm over basketball. The team which took first honors in intramural basket- ball this year was composed of faculty members and post graduates. The powerful squad, consisting of such no- tables as Reed, lfales, l'lubbard, l-letherington, and Wol- cott, ran over the smaller teams and was undefeated during the entire season. The Seniors landed in second place followed by the Juniors, Sophomores, and Fresh- men. phil Hubbard, Head Coach ln the Junior l-ligh the 8 's won first place with the Pre-acs placing second. 3 TRACK A track team was started last spring under the direction of Phil l-lubbard. Although last year's team did nothing spectacular, it is expected that Owego will be more successful this year. One realiges that the possibilities are all the greater when one watches l.az Rowe run the S290 or see l-lank Rollins clear the pole-vaulting bar. The Junior l-ligh is also well represented in this field. Two inter-class meets were held last year at Marvin Park. The First was won by the Seniors and the second by the Sophomores. This spring a large number of boys have come out for track, and this wealth of material gives promise that the Indians will place well in the scheduled meets. TENNIS With most ofthe veterans lost from the previous year a new team composed of Clarke Fitts, George Taylor, Leslie Bogart, and Reigart Lowry gave a good account of themselves last year and promise some good matches in the future. This year's team of Fitts, Taylor, Bogart, and Knox should be far stronger, GOLF A poorly balanced team which won only from Endicott represented Owego last year. For this spring Linley Grant, Clarence Morse, Donald Munroe, Robert Jamesson, Dominic Covello, and Victor Wolslegel, promise much better competition. i Coach Eales Coach Dean Coach Hubbard 'I6
