THE MAGNET 1988 Basketball The basketball season was nearly as successful as the football season. In the regular season but two hard fought games were lost to Fitchburg. Numbered among the victims of the team were Gardner, Marlboro, St. Peters, Lowell, and the Alumni. As a reward for the fine work done by the squad, Mr. Appleton entered the team in the Whitinsville tour- nament. The team won its first two games but was defeated by the crack Northbridge team in the finals. The beautiful cup that was won now rests in the library beside the Haldie Nicholson cup. In spite of the handicap of having Coach Broderick in the hospital for the whole season, the team was without doubt one of the best to represent the school for many years. . The following are letter-men: Honorary Capt. N. Connolly, R. O’Toole, H. Wiley, J. Sullivan, E. Pelkey, M. Lemoine, J. Foster, E. Crotch, and L. Brooks. 31

Football Leominster High School enjoyed during the past fall, its most successful season in two decades. Not since the days of Lou Little has an eleven from L.H.S. gone through a season without meeting a defeat. The all-around strength of the team is clearly shown in the fact that Leominster scored 205 points to 12 for the opponents. The 25 to 0 victory for Thanksgiving day was a fitting climax to a most successful season. A Leominster team has not defeated a Fitchburg team so decisively since 1894, when Leominster won 48 to 0. Those who received gold footballs and letters for playing against Fitchburg are as follows: Honorary Capt. J. Gardner, R. O’Toole, H. Wiley, E. Tellier, R. Cahill, J. Fos- ter, E. Pelkey, M. Lemoine, A. Picucci, J. Goodhue, R. Cavaioli, H. Beaudoin, C. Letters, N. Clark, A. Moulton, A. Buchan, D. Bell, J. Saladini, C. Wilson, B. Sweeney, N. Tocci, J. Sullivan, and Mgr. N. Connolly. Leominster journeyed to Salem for its annual spring game with the Witch City eleven. Both teams battled evenly up until the last few minutes of play when Salem inter- cepted two passes to make the final score 20 to 6. By the game played at Salem there is a very bright outlook for the team in 1933. 30
