FUUTBALL EDWARD RAYMOND . . Manager HENRY DUI-IRIELS . Assistant Manager HERMAN GUTJAHR Assistant Manager MAX G. Zllfl. ............. Coach Football, during it's last season as an interscholastic sportat0swego State Normal, proved to be a popular sport on the hill, even though the team did not come through with a long string of victories. I The squad, handicapped from the First by laclc of experienced players and loss of men through injuries, failed to emerge from a game on the long side of the score. The players fought gamely throughout the season, and the Final game showed a much better team than at the beginning ofthe season. The three home games, played on the new twenty-Five thousand dollar athletic Field, were with Cortland Normal, Syracuse Junior Varsity, and Nassau College of Long lsland. The team traveled to Oneonta to play l'lartwiclc College, to Kutztown, Penn- sylvania to play Kutztown State -leacher's College, and to Mansfield, Pennsylvania to play Mansfield State Teachers College. The team, although forced into the role of the underdog during the season played a spirit that will be remembered for years to come by students and other followers oi the team. With some classes running until Five o'cloclc, malcing a necessary practice period un- available, lacl4 of funds to carry on interscholastic ball, and with a laclc of experienced players, the Associated Student Body voted to discontinue this activity. The Class oi 1936 gives to Coach Ziel and his athletes its respect and admiration for carrying the Gold and Green banner with a loyal spirit and goodwill. 46

BASKETBALL ROBERT WORKMAN . . . . Captain WESLY HAMMQND . . Senior Manager HAROLD BOOMER . . Junior Manager WILLIAM Cl'lAi-FIELD . Junior Manager MAX G. ZIEL ............. Coach Winning '14 games out of 'I6 played, the 1935-36 basketball team established itself as the greatest since Coach Max Ziel has taken over the coaching reins. Nine straight victories on their home court is the record established by the Green and Gold during the past season, the two defeats were suffered on foreign courts and by two and three points respectively. The fancy-parts passers accomplished a feat worthy of any collegiate team in this section when they defeated Clarkson Tech, lthaca College, and Cortland Teachers decisively, and all in one week. The remarkable success of the team was unquestionably due,to the unselfish spirit which prevailed among the players. To Coach Ziel must go the credit for putting this spirit in the players, which to many was even more important than the great victories which the team scored. Prospects for another banner season next year are unusually bright. With Brower and Riffe as a nucleus, and Kirkpatrick, Mcpeak, McMillan and Welden having had at least a year's experience, Oswego should have another great team. Oswego Normal is definitely on the threshold of entering into competition, exclusive- ly, with the small college basketball teams of the state. Victories in the past two years over Colgate, Clarkson Tech, Upsala, l-lartwick, Anrold and St. Michaels have proven, undisputably, their right to compete in this field. High scores in the past few seasons have proven the effectiveness of Coach Ziel's figure 8 system. 48
