BOYS' 'ATHLETICS '30 If we judge the success of this year's sports by the teams victories, it was not such a great success, but if we judge it by the im' provement in the teams, it was a tremendous success. I i A' Because of lack of material and the' fact that Basketball requires the fewest players, this sport has proved the most successful in past years. But, this year, due 'to graduation and other causes, Coach Sherwood has had to -build -new teams inall three sports 'with nothing' but green material to 'work with. Considering this, the year has been a great success from thestanding oft gameswon and an even greater success 'if the differencein- tne 'teams' at 'the beginning of the -seasons and the end of seasons are considered. A i In football we played six games, won two, tied one, and lost three. We played our old rivals, Harrison, .Erst,f and were set back pretty badly, butafter this experience we hit our stride and tried Scarsdale in,an,,exciting game. The next week, we won the ,iirstliootf ball game in three years when we played Roger Ascham: In the last quarter, with the goal very close, -the Bronxville game' was stoppedibecause of darkness. On,Qecoration Day we looms hard game to Harrisonvrland closed the season beating' Chappaqua, zofv. 1 J ' In Basketball we averaged theisame as in Football, Lloofzi.

Of six games we won four and lost two: We :started the season in an exciting slugfest at Valhalla which we won, 14f11. Then we took our worst' beating from Har' rison, -16f3. The same- week,,,we won a wet game from Pleasantville, 5f4. We lost our hardest game to Harrison, 6l4 which proved to be the most exciting of the season. We shut out Valhalla 18f0 and outhit -Pleasant' ville acquiring 19 runs to their 3. This end' ed all school sports for 1930. From 23 .games played, we won 11, lost 1.1,N,and -tied-1. The 1930 Boy's A. A. has broken all past A.-A. reeordsibioth in membership and finanf cialibusiness. 'Sixtyfnine boys of the 'school joined and twentyfnine received recognition for playing in oneqor more sports. A ' The only changes in the letters over last year will be an larger monogram for three' letter men. I The gym team and Junior Var' sity Basketball teams: will ireceive emblems and J. V. letters, respectively. These 'players received their letters the Annual A. Banquet held at Conrad's Inn, 'june 7. Four members have earned.-their letters in three 'sports and havelreceived sweaters. - They are: Vernon'.'Church, Albert Langworthy, Robert Rankin,-.and George Ocliershausen. 'The following. have 'received letters also: John-Farrell 2, .john Ehrbarl, Raymond ?IL.3i polla 2, Edward. Woodl2,'Charlie Rigano 'Z, Elliot'-Harris 2, Anthony Rifgano, Walter Spuehler, Sidney Slifstein, George Fitzroy, John Armstrong, Olin Boom, Judson Benjaf min, Manager. The second Annual BoysgA. A. Banquet was held at Gonrad's Inn at 6 P.. M., june 7. After many rousing songs weresung, the chicken! dinner was. served. Toastmaster Fitzroy ,then announced Mr. Gedney, Presif dent of the Board of Education, who gave an excellent speech. He said the Boardfof Education was 10022 behind athletes in Rye Neck and it was 'now up to the boys to do the rest. This made a great impression on the boys who 'at the toastmaster's suggestion gave three rousing cheers, as thanks to the Board for their support. Mr. Kuhn 'made a short address and pref sented the 41 'emblems and letters. Mr. Ayres, Mr. Bell, Mr. Howe, George Ockersf hausen and flvlr. Tyson all- spoke in order bringing. out 'different 'points of interest. Coach .Sherwood then .closed the evening with a short emphatic speech. Having had a very enjoyable-time, everyone went home talking of the coming successes in 1931. - ' George Ockershausen. Page Fortyfeight
