FOOTBALL Arigo LaTanzi, Coach Assistants Albert Doucette Russell Johnston Spike Pollock The Wamps, under the able guidance of Coach Arigo LaTanzi, completed their first undefeated season in the history of the high school. Braintree’s redmen finished second in the class C title race, outrnargined by Lawrence Central High School. The two able co-captains who led Braintree to their first undefeated season were tackle, Don ' Moulton, and halfback, Yin Picardi. Yin was high man in the touchdown department on the South Shore with 15. Star fullback John Slauson set a new high scoring second of 95 points. Coach LaTanzi w ill be hampered by the loss of 14 seniors when he starts practice for his 1951 season . GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY Alice E. Daughraty, Couch Helen 111 vila The Varsity squad almost broke even for their 1950 season by winning seven and losing six games. The annual con- test with the Cross Country boys was a smashing victory of 4-1 for the girls. The team played at Hingham, Scitu- ate, Stoughton, Randolph, Canton, and North Easton and also several games at home. Sportsmanship was taught to the team throughout the season which helped to soften the heart- breakers they lost. Thanks are due to the coach, Miss Alice Daughraty, Captain Lee Brayton, and the man- agers, Mary Lou Dennehy and Mari- anna Yitagliano, for their “mothering” and for keeping our boisterous band n order. CROSS COUNTRY ’50 Paul V. Toolin, Coach Spike Pollock Coach Toolin added another unde- feated season to his long list by cop- ping seven dual meets, running their total to 33 wins out of 34, over a four- year period. The Cross Country boys include: Co-captain Hugh Huleatt and Bill “Honk” Stevenson, who received second place honors in t he state meet for the second year. In Hugh’s three years of Cross Country running he has only once been beaten in a dual meet, the time he lost his wav on the Quincy course, but still managed to finish sec- ond. The 1951 season looks bright with Red Stevens and Dick Donahue as co-captains.
