Hardly had the season started, when, one after another, most of the veteran players were forced to hang up their suits, and retire to the sidelines. In a few short weeks, a veteran team was turned into a green and inexperienced team by the most dreaded of all football foes-INJURY. Forced to play teams from such high schools as Smethport, Salamanca, and Eldred, our boys found themselves out- weighed by big margins by more experienced teams, and were forced to take the short end of the scores. After losing 32-7 to Smethport and 39-0 to a championship Salamanca High School team, our boys showed a sudden flash of strength and lost a game to Eldred High School by the score of 6-0. The following week a fast, heavy, and experienced Allegany High School team gave our team such a terrific beating that it was decided to cancel the remaining games and wait until next year when we hope to put a fast and experienced team on the field. Following is a list of next year's games. This is perhaps the most difficult schedule ever attempted by a team from our school.

BASKETBALL ITH only three veterans from last yearls team, Saint Bernard's was forced to put a green and inexperienced team on the basketball court this year. Although our boys always fought to the final whistle, they were forced to accept defeat in a majority of their games, generally by a very narrow margin. Our boys finished fourth in the Catholic Diocesan League, and gave a good account of themselves in every game they played. Individual scoring honors go to Bob Matthews, who accounted for half of the team's total points. The playing of Captain Jack Hobday in a guard position deserves special mention.
