THE SASSAMON PAGE TWENTY-ONE ATHLETIC NOTES Natick vs. Holliston, January 14. Natick started its season on its home floor against a team that should have been easy. The game was well attended for a mid-week game, and all the fans expected to witness a good Natick team play rings around its opponent but, quite to the con- trary, they were sadly disappointed when the Natick team put up one of the poorest exhibitions of basket-ball that has been witnessed on this floor for a good whili. The team went on to the floor an acknow- ledged winner and was too confident. The passing was very poor, the shooting was worse, and grandstand play was much in evidence. Altho ' Natick won by the score of 19-9 it won no easy game for frequently Holliston threatened to win. The Score: Natick 19; Holliston 9. Baskets from the floor: Hickey 5, Bren- nan 3, Wardell, Dyer 3, Galanie. Foul Baskets: Brennan, Gray. Personal fouls on Hickey, Hughes 2, Galanie. Natick vs. Arlington, January 17 Natick played its first league game to a 31-5 victory over the Arlington High School in the Natick Gym, Friday, January 17. The game was fast ana well played throughout, both teams showing plenty of pep when it was needed and some times when it wasn ' t. Natick had certainly im- proved since Tuesday and played a good game. Brennan was the star of the game, shooting 9 baskets from the floor and 5 from fouls. The Score: Natick 31, Arlington 5. Baskets from the floor: Hickey 2, Bren- nan 9, Hughes 2, Smith, Coolidge. Foul Baskets: Brennan 5, Geary. Personal Fouls on Hickey 2, Coolidge, Brennan. The second team defeated Arlington second between the periods to the tune of 11 — 1. Natick vs. Watertown, Jan. 24. On this date Natick journeyed to Wa- tertown, to engage the league leaders. The game was close and fast throughout, Na- tick leading at the end of the half, 4 — 3. Watertown came back strong in the second half and scored 15 points, or enough to give them the long end of the score by 5 points. Altho ' many are satisfied that Na- tick got a poor deal by the referee, the team played gamely to the end. Brennan was the Natick star, while Cousineau starred for Watertown. The Score: Watertown 18, Natick 13. Field goals: Brennan 3, Hickey 2, Cou- sineau 4, Fetter 2, Shanahan 2. Foul goals: Brennan 3, Cousineau 2. Personal fouls on Shanahan 3, Fetter. Referee: Keliher.

I ' ACK TWENTY-TWO TUB SAS8AM0N Natick vs. Winthrop, Jan. 28 Natick played its third league game when it defeated Winthrop 30 — 16. Win- throp, always reckoned as a strong team, was no match for the excellent passing and shooting that the Natick team did. Fan- non was easily the star of the game, with his all-round work. His carrying the ball and his shooting were one of the big fea- tures of the game. Time after time he carried the ball the whole length of the floor and then besides shot the basket. Brennan, altho ' playing against a good man, was right on the job and surprised his opponent. The team, as a whole, passed well and show team work. Donovan and Cotter played well for Winthrop. The Score: Natick 30, Winthrop 16. Field goals: Fannon 7, Wardell, Hickey 2, Hughes 3, Brennan, Cotter, Donovan 4. Foul goals: Brennan 2, Cotter 6. Personal fouls on Hughes, Hickey, Fan- non, Cotter, Malloy. Referee, Cody. Scorer Griffin. Timer Montieth. Time 15-10-10. The second team lost between the halvs 17—4. Natick vs. Wellesley, at Wellesley, Feb 5. Natick met its second league defeat by the hands of Wellesley, 19 — 17, in an over- time game. The game was one of the best of the season and was very exciting from the first to the last whistles. Both teams played an excellent brand of basket-ball. The pass work, the blocking, the shooting, and the individual work was fine. Buell was the star of the game; he was put in during the last period and although he played a guard ' s position, he scored two baskets for Wellesley and thus gave them the game by two points. The score at the end of the first half was 10 — 8, in favor of Natick. At the end of the game the score stood 15 — 15, so it was necessary to play an overtime period. In this time Wellesley scored two baskets and Natick one. Fannon and Hughes played well for Natick. The Score: Wellesley 19, Natick 17. Referee, Crowley. Time 15-10-10-5. Field goals: Brennan, Hughes 5, Hickey, Fannon, J. Brennan 2, W. Hughes, Quimby, Buel l 2. Goals from fouls: Brennan, W. Hughes 7. Personals on Brennan 2, Hickey 2, War- dell. The second team defeated Wellesley sec- ond between the periods, 4 — 2, in a very close and fast game.
