Corkum, Crane and Griffin excelled for Leominster High while Lee’s great punting excelled for Cushing. ) 2 RR ae ote ad i Dd ay Batter bre) Leominster High journeyed to Fitchburg, Saturday, October 8th, for their first league game with the high school of that city. From the start of the game Fitchburg was clearly outplayed. They could not gain through Leominster’s line, and all their gains of consequence were made as for- ward passes. Amiott was the only Fitchburg back who could make any impression on Leominster’s line. Pp In the second quarter Leoininster worked the ball down to Fitchburg’s twenty-five yard line, where they lost it on downs. Amiott tried to punt out of danger, but Smith broke through, blocked the punt, and rolled over the line with it. Corkum kicked the goal. During the rest of the game the ball sawed up and down the field with Fitchburg continually on the defensive. The victory over Fitchburg was the first one scored in seven years by a Leominster high school team. ww On Columbus Day, October 12th, the team had a game scheduled with Leicester Academy, but for some reason that team did not put in appear- ance, and a large crowd that expected to witness the game was disap- pointed. ¥ BEA eae eh: Ce rites On Saturday, October 15th, our team played the seond league game, a game with Clinton high school. Leominster won by the large score of 35 LO;0, Part of the game was played in a shower of rain which made the ball difficult to handle. Leominster resorted to the old line-bucking game, hardly ever failing to make its distance. Merriman, Little, Duval, and Suhlke played well, and Corkum played his usual good game, while Stevenson and Call excelled for Clinton. Before the game and between the halves the freshmen defeated the ninth grade, 14 to oO.

The team cannot be expected to go in and play its best without support from the side-lines. The first good cheer- ing of the year was heard at the Fitchburg game, when under cheer leaders Albert Tenney and Miss Nellie Pierson, the team received some good - encouragement. 2 ee oa Niet as, 0; | The first game of the season was with Nashua High School, September 24th, which resulted in a hard earned victory for our team. Near the close of the game, Houde recovered the ball on a muffed punt on Nashua’s five yard line. Merriman then went over for a touch- 4 down. Jobes kicked the goal.

On Wednesday afternoon, September 28th, our team lined up 4 against the strong Worcester High School team. The visitors, although they were much heavier, were defeated 2 to 0. Murphy, the quarter-back, was tackled by Corkum and forced behind his own goal for asafety. Dur- ing the game one Worcester player and two Leominster boys were put out of the game for unnecessary roughness. Griffin’s punting and Houde’s blocking of a punt were features of the game, as was also the line-bucking of McCauliffe of Worcester. a we Ay RHE Cushing 2d o.
