The second game was played with Pulteney the Fifteenth of December. The game resulted in a defeat for the High School boys. The Infants played with, and defeated the Midgets, a team from Pulteney, as a preliminary. The third game was with Atlanta. This was also played at Prattsburgh. The game was won by the visitors, although the score was very close. The Infants played the girls' team as a preliminary. The fourth game was played with Pulteney. The Infants and Midgets played a preliminary game. Both the Infants and the High School team were defeated. The girls' team played their first game with an out of town team but were defeated. The basket ball team made a two day trip playing two games. At Dundee they won their first victory of the season with a score of 23-20. The next day a game was played at Starkey Seminary. This time the visitors were defeated. The last game of the season was played with the town team. The High School boys won, although the score was close. In the spring the base ball ball team played a game with Pulteney which they won by a score of 15-13. Many boys throughout the county took advantage of the law recently passed by the legislature which allowed them either to, enlist in the army or in the farm cadet service. The officers of the County Athletic Association at a meeting held in Corning in April decided not to have the track meet as so many boys had left school that many of the schools could not be properly represented.
