Due to the lack of keen interest in baseball and trouble in procuring a suitable practice field, baseball was discontinued and a start in football courageously attempted. Pants, shoulder pads, and head gears, were purchased by the athletic association. The boys furnished the rest of their outfits. One game was played with Garrettsville early in November. The boys are rearing to go for next year. Brookfield, Newton Falls, Leavittsburg, McDonald, Cortland, and Liberty have offered us dates on their schedules for next year.

Farmington Basketball Material for basketball this year was very poor for both girls' and boys' teams, but prospects are very bright and encouraging for next year. Due to the teaching of basketball fundamentals in physical education work. a number of girls have overcome their inferiority complexes and have gained enough confidence to try out for next year's team. Several eighth grade girls have shown sufficient ability to give some high school girls keen competi- tion. In the picture shown Cfrom left to rightj are: Front row: Charbo, Pflug, Belden, Purser, Brunsong Bear: Bland and Cox. We have had an even more disastrous season with bcy's basketball than with girl's, although we did win three consecutive games on our own floor from Southington, Mecca. and Vernon. We have found that, after leaving our own small floor, our very inexperienced players have not been able to adjust themselves quickly to the altered conditions of play on large floors. ' Names of individuals in accompanying picture are Cfrom left to .rightjz Frou row: Mr. Jennings, Coach, Willrich, Goddard, and Peck, back row: Gervenack, Alberts and Rogers. We have had athletic relations during the past year with the following schools: Mesopotamia, Bloomfield, Greene, Vernon, Hartford, Mecca, Bristol, Champion, Gustavus, Southington, and Garrettsville.
