FOOTBALL Again the Perry Pirates on the basketball floor had the handicap of height and an additional disadvantage of inexperience. As a whole the season was a success, not looking at the number of games won but at the experience and knowledge gained. The schedule and scores of the 1943-44 season are as follows: Nov. 30 Perry 23 Geneva 44 Dec. 7 Perry 20 Kirtland 25 Dec. 10 Perry 24 Chardon 29 Dec. 21 Perry 26 Fairport 49 Jan. 7 Perry 38 Chagrin Falls 37 Jan. 8 Perry 29 Austinburg 25 Jan. 14 Perry 16 Chardon 20 Jar 18 Perry • 29 Austinburg 31 Jan. 21 Perry 27 Wickliffe 60 Jan. 28 Perry 26 Madison 25 Feb. 1 Perry 34 Fairport 39 Feb. 4 Perry 32 Kirtland 40 Feb. 11 Perry 50 Thompson 13 Feb. 25 Perry 49 Madison 27 March 3 All-Stars 39 Wickliffe 49 James Secor was an excellent captain leading the team in scoring and in making a percentage of foul shots. In practice he didn't say much, but in a game he directed the boys well. Jim made six points in the All-Star game as forward. —29—
