FOOTBALL W ith a nucleus of six veterans, five of whom started the annual Turkey Day Classic with Watertown in the ’39 campaign, Captain Justin Walsh, Jimmie Shedd, “Ozzie” Henry, Joe West, and Alex MacLean, the head mentor, Mr. Newell held great expectations for the 1940 edition of the B. H. S. grid brigade. They not only fulfilled all of Mr. Newell’s fondest hopes and desires, but also exceeded all Main Street quarterbacks’ prognostications by decisively winning top honors in the Middlesex pigskin loop. The aggregation dropped but two decisions throughout their eight game schedule, these being to class “C” winners, Wey mouth, and defending class “B’ champs, Brookline. But as you know, every cloud is not the proverbial silver-lined affair it is cracked up to be, so the red and blue warriors found out, when they learned that their once postponed tilt with the traditional rival, Watertown, was not to be played at all. It was a great day for the Irish when fleet-footed Tommy O’Neil smeared Parker Carleton’s pass to put the initial fray, with Maynard, on ice, for a 13 to 6 victory. Belmont then chalked up 6 tallies to Stoneham’s o, for their second consecutive win, but that fateful day at Weymouth they met their Waterloo to the tune of 25 to 7. I he Belmont eleven steamrollered a strong Kail River outfit, on Columbus Day, till the scoreboard read 20 to 7, to hit their winning stride once again. ' I ' his victory might be credited in part to “Rock” Giblin’s fifth column activities, for he unintentionally sneaked into the Fall River huddle every time he got the chance. In the next engagement the red and blue stalwarts were held to a 6 to 6 tie by an inspired Framingham team. Bob Caskie and Buzz Olson were elected co-captains for the ’41 season, and although they are the only returning veterans the team promises to follow in the footsteps of the now past heroes. Well, the best wishes from the members of the 1940 outfit, to you future starlets. 18
