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.

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.
