In spite of its poor record, the team showed plenty of fight, as is traditionally sig- nificant of B. H. S. in all fields of endeavor. There was real talent on the Belmont scpiad in the form of four stalwarts: Captain Klafstad. ‘ Alanny” Silva, Jimmy Devlin, and Guy Jackson ; but a lack of super supporting material prevented the team from catapulting to any great heights. Three of our men landed berths on the all star team; Klafstad on the first team, and Silva and Devlin on the second. All of the boys put a great deal into their game and doubtless derived much in the way of instruction and good, health- ful enjoyment from it.
