18 THE MAGNET On Saturday, October 12, the L. H. S. football team met and defeated their old rivals, the Clinton High team, 8 to 0, on our own grounds. Leominster opened up the game in a businesslike way, and scored a touch- down in less than four minutes’ play. Wass kicked the goal, making the score 6 to 0 in Leominster’s favor, not long after Wass punted the ball over the goal line, where Lane forced Cheeney to make a safety, thus adding two points to Leominster’s score. After this Clinton played a much stronger game and kept the ball in Leominster’s territory through the second half. The game was marred by a little unnecessary roughness, and Referee Bent- ley penalized both sides frequently. Lane and T. Joslin were the shining stars for Leominster, and they were closely followed by the remainder of the local boys.

’ i) THE MAGNET 17 half L. H. S. had everything its own way, scoring three touchdowns and two goals. In the second half many substitutes were given a trial, and Southbridge was able to keep the local boys from pushing the pigskin over the line again, and although our boys succeeded in getting the ball to the one-foot line, they were unable to score in this half. Though the South- bridge High boys were lighter, it could often be seen that they were not very familiar with the game; whereas our boys had worked out a few trick plays which frequently netted gains. Reagan, Lane, and Bullard excelled for L. H.S., and although the whole team played well, the work of these three was more noticeable. For Southbridge, Captain Colburn, Cozzens, and Dansereau showed up well. wf In the second game, on Saturday, October 5, Leominster High defeated the Hudson High eleven 20 to6. At no time im the game was there any hope for Hudson, even though the L. H.5S. boys did not score a single goal from its touchdowns. Many changes appeared in the local lineup, which seemed to have been well planned. The most noticeable of these was the placing of Bullard, the speedy half-back, at quarter-back, and although it was his first appearance in that position, he showed up well. To fill the vacancy at half-back Reagan, the star end, was put into the back field and played a good game. R. Joslin filled the end position very satisfactorily, and T. Joslin at tackle was always in the game. The lineup then showed up as follows: L. H. S.—20 6—Hudson H. S. Lane, le re Tarbell T. Joslin, 1t rt Wilson Little, lg rg Walsh Chandler, c c Eddy Roukes, r ¢ le Harriman Kloss, rt lt Tripp R. Joslin, re le Lapoint - Bullard, q b q b Wetherbee Reagan, |hb rh b Carver Wass, rhb lh b Brooks Smith, Capt., f b fb Hamilton w ¥ At the Worcester Highland Military Academy grounds, Wednesday, October g. the L. H. S. team succeeded in giving the soldiers of that in- stitution a trouncing defeat to the tune of 16 to 0, thus taking the bitter- ness out of the defeats received at the hands of this same institution dur- ing the season of 1906. Inno branch of the game did the academy boys equal the Leominster boys, and as a result L. H. S. won handily.
