NON LEAGUE GAMES At the beginning of the 1953 baseball season, Coach Lyle Gray found that most of the players would have to be ducks because of the terribly rainy baseball weather. Three of South High's games were rained out, and several others took place under conditions more suitable for a swimming team. The Bulldogs won three of their four league games, but were unable to com- plete the schedule, and Hoosick Falls was named League Champion. South High's ace pitcher, Jack Potter, hurled to Fred Bullivant, while Jack Celeste held down first base, when he wasn't on the mound. Ned Roach worked at shortstop and Dick Potter at second. Jack Gatchell was at third, and Gary Duell shared pitching honors. The outfield consisted of Phil Farry, Milt Beakbane and Bill Cutler. The star hitters were Jack Potter, Milton Beakbane, and Jack Celeste. South High lost four players-Jack Potter, Jack Gatchell, Jack Conklin and Phil Farry, but with the bulk of the team returning, South High looked forward to a very successful baseball season in l954.

The Pups were led in the scoring department by Bob Farry who poured in 172 points, only 21 points short of the school record for a J.V. player. In addition to doing most of the rebounds for Coach Fedele's squad, Hank Rudio added 83 points and played heads up ball all season. Greg Farry and Jim Stewart were the playmakers for the club and bucketed 66 and 113 points respectively. Al Winslow and Dave Flagg operated at the remaining forward slot for Coach Sal Fedele and added much to spark their team's play throughout the season. The Pups played one of their best games against Hoosick Falls, who finally went on to capture the crown. Behind 18 to 14 at the half, they came back to cut the lead to two points before the buzzer rang to end the third period. ln the fourth quarter it was nip and tuck all the way with Hoosick Falls finally pulling it out of the fire in the last seconds 28 to 27. Down at Schuylerville the Pups ran up their largest score of the season winning 53 to 30. In this game Coach Fedele cleared his bench and saw many of his reserves play good all-around basketball.
