S IMULTANEOUSLY with the opening of school in September, Coach Kane called out the candidates for the Braintree High eleven. He made it plain from the beginning of the season that no one would be cut from the squad because of inability. Coach Kane was assisted throughout the year by Coach Hawkes who was appointed to aid Mr. Kane at the beginning of the year. For the first- few weeks the squad ran through routine work and light -crim- mages. On September 24 they went to the Municipal Stadium in Quincy where they were defeated 18-6. After two more weeks of practice, a game was played with North Quincy on Hollis field. The final score was: North 19, Braintree 7. On the same field on the next Saturday Braintree was topped by a Rockland club 20-7. On October 22 Braintree was defeated by Needham 26-0. The game was played at Needham. When Milton came to Braintree on the following Saturday they were greeted with a real surprise. Braintree all but had them defeated when Milton was fortunate enough to slip over a touchdown and add the point giving them the game, 7-6. However, the real thrill of the year came on November 5 when Weymouth came to Hollis Field to Braintree’s so-called underdogs. Wey- mouth not only received one of the w r orst- set-backs of the season but was also just lucky to keep the score tied at 7-7. A major disappointment came on the next Saturday when the husky Bridgewater gridsters handed Braintree a 26-7 set-back. This ended Braintree’s season and gave them a record of one tie and six losses. The players who received letters were: Johnson, Trainor, Bewley, Smith, Mace, Farrington, Williams, Erickson, Oliver, Moschella, Hamilton, Hicks, Davis, Copp, Boyle, Pollock, Reed, and Clougherty. 4 n
