When the athletic awards are given out in Nassau Count> this year for outstanding football performance. Oyster Bay will not receive many of them. Few are given to the players on a losing team, but to the victor goes the glory. Many awards are given to high scoring halfbacks and important line¬ men. Still more are presented to hashing fullbacks and quar¬ terbacks, but none are given for plain "guts.” Oyster Bay has, thia year, shown that though they may be outclassed in weight, power, size, and experience they will go into a game and fight, fight, and then pick themselves tip and fight some more. This team has refused to be beatan easily. Many boys, prior to rha year, had never played ... organized football before.
