CLvt-(Cinnity ILeaqiu' Climupiims To Coach Schlosser goes the credit of producing the best working basketball combination which has represented Port High on the court in many years. After three years of strenuous work and never ending patience Coach Schlosser developed a basketball team which materialized into the Champions of McKean, Potter and Cameron Counties. Up until the middle of the season Port High was tie with two other schools for leading honors, but due to various reasons two members of the team were forced to discontinue the:r athletic activities for a while. Green men filled their positions and as a result Port dropped into third place. After these men became accustomed to their places, Port High began to pick up form and speed and soon were in position to win the Tri-County honors, which they did due to hard playing. The week after the football season closed Coach Schlosser called the basketball aspirants out for practice. With only three letter men available from last year’s squad and a wealth of new material on hand prospects

illir Shirr iilji show any scrap at all in this game, and as a result they were beaten 13 to 8. Johnson scored both of Kane’s touchdowns, running 70 yards and 30 yards, respectively. Port’s scores came in the third quarter when Dolo-way tackled a Kane man behind Kane’s goal line, and in the last quarter, when Port made a touchdown after a series of off tackle slants and line bucks. The next contest was with Emporium, at Emporium on October 2nd. Up to this time Port had not won any games out of town, so the fellows decided to change their luck. They did, the final score was 13 to 0, with Port winning the game. The local gridders did not find the game so easy as they had expected, and they realized that to win, hard playing was necessary. Port’s first touchdown came in the second quarter when Teater took it across and in the last quarter when Geor-getson took it over. The biggest surprise of the season came on November 9. when the Sheffield aggregation played on the local field. Previous to this game Sheffield had not been scored on, all season, and they were confident of winning this game. A little too much confidence and the breaks all for Port, proved too much for Sheffield, and they went down in defeat. The final score was 6 to 0, in favor of Port. The team as a whole played the best it had all season, and teamwork was the main factor of the game. Sheffield tried hard to win and a couple of times they did threaten Port’s goal, only to lose the ball. This game proved what Port's team really could do when it wanted to fight hard. The games that had been lost were over; but the defeats were taken in a good sportsmanlike manner. On November 16 the Hornell aggregation journeyed to Port. From the opening of the game until the close all the breaks were against Port. All the tough luck a team could have in a game was doled out to Port that day. The final score was 25 to 0. The game was interesting as shown by first downs, each side having nine. This game made Hornell’s 2 8th consecutive victory, and Port’s first defeat on their own field in three years. With almost two weeks of hard practicing, Port was all set for the annual Turkey Day game with Smethport. This game will go down in P. A. H. S. football history as a grid classic de luxe. The team worked with perfect unison and it would be hard to select the outstanding players. Port outplayed Smethport in every department of the game. Three touchdowns were made in the first half, by line bucks and off tackle plays by the entire backfield. In the second half Smethport tightened up and held Port to only one touchdown. The final score was Port 2 5 Smethport 0. The best wishes of the class of 1930’s nine lettermen and Manager “Tenglefoot”, g with the team next year for an even better season than the past one has been.

Sfir Sitjrr tCUi| were exceedingly encouraging for the hardest schedule that a Port High basketball team has ever undertaken. The men remaining from last year were Captain Redington, Gamble, Barnett, lettermen, and Doloway Goodrich, Edgreen, substitutes. Some of the new material who reported were Linnan, P. Johnson and Freer. The two most interesting games of the season were the Emporium game, at Emporium, and the Couders-port game at Coudy. The Emporium game decided whether or not Port was to continue in the race. Through splendid playing and fine teamwork, Port outplayed her rivals and sent them down in defeat. This victory was the first that Port had ever won from Emporium on their own floor. After this game it left only Port and Coudy tied for first place in the league. This game was thrilling from start to finish. The majority of Coudy’s points were scored as a result of foul shots. The game ended with Port one point in the lead and consequently the Tri-County Champions. The team was characterized by wonderful team work, passing, faking and pivoting a well as being vigi'ant every moment of the game. Port High developed a defense that was hard to break, and as a x’esult most of the shots from the opposing teams were made from near the central portion of the floor. Captain Redington, Gamble and Linnan were all excellent players and each was well qualified to fill in the forward positions. C. Doloway at center offered some stiff opposition for his opponents. The playing of Barnett and Edgreen at the guard positions was always consistent and at times brilliant. Johnson, Goodrich and Freer, played some excellent basketball and were instrumental in the development of team play. Through graduation the basketball team loses only one member and that is Edgreen. The team will deeply feel his loss as he was a hard fighter and a good guard. Others who graduate are Goodrich, Freer and Johnson. The best wishes of the team’s graduates and also of the manager Jack Holden go with the team of next year for a repetition of this past ceas-on. SCHEDULE Port 24 Mt.
