The "Echo" provided the following information about the 1932 football season:

 

"The boys appear to have plenty of pep out there to-day and seem to be in perfect condition.  So far this season the boys have had very good luck under the direction of Fred Cousins (a real coach).  Just a word about Freddie--this is his first year and he has certainly showed us that he has the ability to turn out real players and good teams.

 

At the beginning of the season the boys went over the hill of Oxford, bringing home a victory which created in them the 'old fighting spirit' prevailing throughout the season.

 

Next the boys were attacked by the Unadilla eleven.  This resulted in an additional victory for the Bainbridge squad, leaving their slate unmarred.

 

The boys were just getting into their stride when they met the fast aggressive Norwich team on their own gridiron.  This was a fast and exciting game adding one more scalp lock to their belt.

 

Following this the boys gave their time to a very hard and discreet practice to meet the final game of the season (Bainbridge vs Sidney).  This was a hard fought battle met by disaster for the blue and white eleven.  But don't be discouraged.  Even Napoleon lost at Waterloo."
