THE MAGNET 17 o ATHLETICS Leominster High opened the Ig12 football season victoriously by de- feating St. John’s High, of Worcester, 13 to 0. Our team showed up re- markably strong in our first game, especially the line, for which they must give credit to Percy, the dummy. Since it was the first game of the season, several substitutes were tried out in different positions. They played like veterans, which argues well for a successful season. The line up: gt 5 Rae © ST.

The weather was appropriate for baseball, and the players suffered very much with the heat. It did not take long after the game started to notice that the Leominster boys could;play rings around the Worcester team. The line was like iron, and the backfield showed very much improvement over the previous game.

16 THE MAGNET CHCHIARIGLS = THE MAGNET wishes to extend a cordial welcome to all of its old friends, it would also like to exchange with many new ones. Our paper will con- tinue the same spirit of friendly criticism, and we hope our Exchanges will receive us in the same manner. The first exchange to be received this year was the College Signal, from Massachusetts Agricultural College. Included in the list of students enter- ing the 1916 class, we find the names of three L. H.S. graduates: James Nicholson, William Jenna, and William Brazil. The Student's Review (Northampton High School, Northampton, Mass.). You have a very neat little paper, but your departments are rather brief. The essay, ‘The Children of Dickens,” is excellent. Why don’t you take advantage of those unoccupied advertising spaces and use them to boom your school activities? The Crimson (Du Pont Manual Training High School, Louisville, Ky.); You have an interesting paper. Your designs, cuts and headings, are very striking and appropriate, but the arrangement of your material could be improved. THE MAGNET acknowledges the receipt of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, the first number of which contains an interesting account of the Widener library.

Attendance, 300. w Louis Little, a former member of the High School team and last year’s guard and tackle on the Worcester Academy eleven, was engaged as coach for the team at the beginning of the season. There were other aspirants for the position, but Mr. Little was chosen by the Athletic Association be- cause of the excellent experience which he had secured as a player under the best of coaches, and because of his natural aptitude for imparting foot- ball knowledge to others. Mr. Little graduated from Leominster High in 1911. He played on the football team five years. He first made the team when in the ninth grade and, upon becoming a freshman, had no difficulty in retaining a place which he had won the year before. During the first three years that he was a member of the squad, Mr. Little played as tackle. During the last two years he acted as captain and his position was shifted from tackle to full- back. Completing his course at the High School, Mr. Little enrolled at Wor- cester Academy last fall. Hebecame a candidate for the football team, and made a guard position over a long list of candidates who had been stars at other preparatory schools. Under Dr. H. P. Cahill’s coaching, Mr. Little developed rapidly as a guard and became one of the mainstays of the team. Report of E. R.
