16 THE LAWRENCIAN FOOTBALL AT LAWRENCE. We started our season very successfully this year by defeating the strong Port Richmond Minstrels twenty to six. Captain Harry Buxbaum, our crashing fullback, was the outstanding player of the game. He catapulted over the goal line twice during the game, and threw the pass to Levine which brought us the other touchdown. Great Neck then visited us and after a hard fought battle the game ended in a scoreless tie. Next we met the strong Valley Stream Eleven which we defeated 20 to 6. Coach Kennedy brought down his usual strong team. But Buxbaum went over for his usual two touchdowns and Gabriel went over for his first of the season. The following week we traveled to the Freeport Municipal Stadium. Here we met our first and worst defeat of the season, losing to the Red Riders, 19 to 0. It was a hard fought game from start to finish, but the “snake-hipped” Art Longrin and the hard driving DeMartino proved too much for our boys. We then visited Baldwin. Here we had a toutf-i battle but neither team could score. On Election Day the strong Glen Cove Eleven came to the Inwood Oval. It was in this game that we suffered our second defeat, 7 to 0. Considering the strength of the Glen Cove team (undefeated for two years) Lawrence made a very good showing. With the odds against us, our boys came back and beat the shifty Sewanhaka eleven, 6 to 0. Edgar “Catfish” Levine went over for the touchdown on a pass from Gabriel.

THE LAWRENCIAN 15 BIGGEST SCANDAL “SCOOP” OF THE YEAR! PRISCILLA DEAN RUNS OFF WITH WELL-KNOWN NEIGHBORHOOD BEAU BRUMMEL ! Boston. Mass., May 13, 1631. Priscilla Dean, one of the best liked of the season’s debutantes, has eloped right under the nose of her fiance. Captain M. Standish. with his best friend, Mr. J. Alden. Our special reporters have been hard at work on the job ever since Mrs. Dean has stopped weeping huge crocodile tears. Bride and groom seem to be doing very well, excepting the fact that all the bride can be made to say is “Speak for yourself, John.” This startling statement has not yet been fathomed by our astute reporters, but new developments are expected very soon. We have succeeded, however, in getting from the,groom the statement that the happy (we hope) couple will take up its residence in the new “Duplex” on Main Street after their return from their honey-moon to Bermuda. They will sail on Friday on the S. S. Mayflower. Our reporters, after interviewing Mr. M. Bottsford. the owner of the “Duplex” understand that there has been a little controversy about the rental because Mr. Alden wants a radio AND a Kelvinator, while the apartment furnishes only the radio. However, we hope the outcome of the affair is in the affirmative as Mr. Bottsford is in dire need of funds at present. As yet, the couple has had no quarrels, but one is expected any minute now. Ring-side seats may be obtained at office of the Daily Chronicle on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This affair will be resumed in our next edition at 6:00 P. M. RUTH FRANKFURTER.

THE LAWRENCIAN 17 To close our season we met our old rivals, Lynbrook. We received the surprise of our lives when they heat us six to nothing. Lynbrook’s touchdown coming from a pass into the end zone. Although we had only a fair season. Harry Buxbaum, our Captain and fullback, was placed on the All-Scholastic Eleven. Hammersmith. Levine and Fertig received berths on the second team. —GEORGE KIRK. o Girls’ Hockey this year was quite unsuccessful. Having no varsity squad they played only a few outside second-team games which included Baldwin, and Woodmere Academy. Other games were scheduled but the weather was bad and we had to cancel them. The girls who attended the Baldwin play-day had a grand time. Schools from all over the island were represented. Some of the games were: badminton, quoits, archery, touchdown, darts, and volley ball. Prizes were given to the winning team.
