THE MAGNET ATHLE TIC S The football season is now in full swing, and from the present outlook the prospects for another championship team are very bright, although this years team has been severly handicapped at the begining of the season by the lack of a suitable coach to fill the position occupied last year by Mr. Watson. The team is now working hard making up for lost time under the direction of William Lane, the former Amherst star. Mr. Lane knows the game thoroughly, and is now busily engaged in trying to impart his knowl- edge tothe players. It is evident that there has been a heap of work in developing this year’s team, as only two of last year’s regulars are left How well Mr. Lane has succeeded in the task set for him may be judged from the results of the games played thus far. Ww It is sincerely hoped by all who are interested in this year’s team that the combined efforts of the entire student-body with those of the squad will succeed in materializing our fondest hopes, namely, the clean and decisive defeat of our old rival, Fitchburg, and the winning of the championship of the Wachusett Interscholastic League. At the first meeting of the Athletic Association a member of the faculty, Alberti Roberts, was elected manager, Peter R. Knapp, student manager, and Sidney Harris was elected assistant student manager. w ott. 9, 17 St. Joun’s H.S. o The first game of the season was played at home with the St. John’s High School of Worcester, on Wednesday, Oct. 4. Leominster had no difficulty in winning. St. John’s was outplayed throughout the game. ws i e..S.3 WoRCESTER P. I. 0 The second game was played with the second team of Worcester Poly- technic Institute, Saturday, Oct. 7. This team outweighed Leominster’s considerably, but was defeated by the superior speed and knowledge of the game displayed by Leominster.

18 THE MAGNET LHvSineo Pats 3.40 On Columbus Day, Fitchburg High’s football team journeyed to Leom- inster followed by a large crowd of enthusiastic adherents. The above score tells briefly the story which any believerin the a skill of Leominster would take great pleasure in relating. The game was strongly contested. Fitchburg made several good gains on foward passes and delayed passes, but were repeatedly held for downs when they attempted line bucking. The excitement was intense at all times. Some of the spectators were beginning to prophesy a tie game when, as Fitchburg attempted to duplicate another successful foward pass, Sweeney, Leominster’s half back, sprang into the air, caught the ball and went racing down the field side stepping and dodging with the help of good interference the wearers of the red and gray. With rapid strides that outdistanced all the others he covered the necessary seventy-five yards and fell exhausted behind the goal. Garland kicked the goal. During the rest of the game Fitchburg was continually on the defensive. Leominster succeeded in carrying the ball down to Fitchburg’s thirty yard line and attempted a field goal. Sweeney showed his accuracy by placing the ball between the up- right. Every menber on the team deserved credit for playing a good game.

Although the team played well, it lacked the vim and snap displayed in some of the previous games. The ball was carried up and down the field without either side gaining any decisive advantage. The over zealousness displayed by some of the officials helped to keep the crowd in good humor until the game ended without either side being able to score. teh.
