These high-jumpers, Stevenson and Tuxford, both sophomores, ought to be heard of in coming years, as should Nourse in the 600 and Brennion and Gentry in the 1000. These, and others, carry Quincy's hopes for next year, to say nothing of outdoor track this year. HOCKEY aLTHOUGH Quincy High's hockey team did not en- joy an over-successful sea- son, Coach H. Kenneth Hudson is not chagrined. In fact, H. Kenneth is pleased. He did not expect to burn up the ice with his inexperienced outfit. The only benefit which he ex- pected from this season was that the boys would get some much-needed experience. This hope was realized, for although his charges won only one game in the Bay State League, they gained so much experience that, by the season's end, they ranked as the most improved club in the league. With over sixty per-cent of his squad returning next year, Mr. Hudson can well afford to let the value of this season's play be judged by next year's results. The seniors who played this year include, Forwards: Pyne, McKenna, Grogan, O'Brien, Hurley. Defense: Ordway, Mason, Shearer, Fallon, Mac- Mulkin. Goal: Wilmath. The lower classmen who will form the nucleus of next year's outfit are: Forwards: Monahan, Mai vesti, Yoerger, McDade, Keith, McMurray, Leh- tonen, Langton. Defense: Cleary, Service, Sargent. Goal: Nugent, DeCelle. HERBERT GAUDREAU, TAXIDERMIST [Continued from page 14] ichthyologist, and sportsman. The mounting must be an exact replica of its living specimen. Our taxidermist could make his way in the field of painting, we are certain, for, his water-color sketches which he showed us have no rival from the point of vivid, accurate coloring, lifelike appear- ance, and remarkable reproduction. Gaudreau thinks little of his artistic abilities and whenever we spoke of the fine quality of his work, he turned the conversation in another direction, no doubt thinking little of the ex- quisite likenesses which flow from his brush. I learned much about the technical processes involved in mounting an- imals, but will not repeat it here for obvious reasons. The staff of the American Museum is the goal of the young artist. In a few weeks an exhibition of his work will be on display in the show window of the Granite Trust Building. This is a good chance to see some real art. We suggest you take advantage of it.

The second team compiled a record of 9 wins and 5 defeats with George Pearson taking the high scoring honors with 42 points. The “Baron’s” advice is give them height and have basket sense and they will go in. “Knobble” Kapsis used to throw a stuffed paper bag through the hoops in the Point Junior High yard when he wasn’t even rated as a basketball player, and his love of the game finally made him the fine center he is. Swede used a comb once after the Northeastern game. Nobody ever re- members his hair having been combed before that. Howie Martin and Eddie Dobbyn have played basketball together since they were nine years old, mostly at the “Y”. Remember the basket that won the Milton game when “Swede” sank a long shot from the middle of the floor in the closing minutes? There was only one player put out on fouls this season, a record in itself! If anybody ever wondered where the team spent its spare moments, he should visit the “Y”, where he would see all the fellows either watching a basketball game, or having a round table discussion while waiting their turns to play Ping-pong—the team’s chief hobby. INDOOR TRACK C5 HE indoor track season started with a meet at Watertown, where Quincy showed up well in the field events, but they lost 54-23 because they failed to place in the running events, probably because they were not used to the new Watertown saucer and the Watertown runners, unlike most scholastic indoor track men, wore spikes. At the annual meet at Northeastern Univer- sity, Deboer scored a second in the shot put, and Harper placed in the hurdles and broad jump, this meet writing the finis on their careers at school. At Brockton, Biller’s first in the dash, and Reardon’s five markers in the shot put, helped make up the Quincy total of 16 against Brockton’s 61. Quincy wound up the season by scoring 1% points in Class B, of the State meet held at the Boston Garden. Biller captured a fourth in the dash, and the relay team of Biller, Sundelin, Nourse and Barry accounted for the fraction. Incidentally, although Tuxford bettered Stevenson’s Dedham mark by a quarter of an inch, he failed to get a place.

WRESTLING QORTH Quincy High, in its first year of league competition, startled the sports world by dethroning the cham- pion Quincy High outfit which had been un- defeated for two straight years. Quincy, never- theless, was runner-up, wresting second place from several fighting competitors. Head Coach, Leland H. Anderson, deserves unbounded praise for the manner in which he brought an inexperienced squad within an ace of a third consecutive State schoolboy title. Quincy and North pulled grunt to grunt until the final, when North won out by a narrow margin. This year’s team was made from the following men: 95-Francario, Battista. 105-Guarcello, (Capt.), Dunn. 115-Monte, Chisholm. 125-Mulroy, McDonough. 135-Cummings, Sharpe. 145-Lowe, McGregor, D’Olympio. 155-Wirtz, Ricciuti, Von Berg. 165-Godfrey, Lund, Garnett. SPORTSFOLIO By Cliff WUmath Quincy’s sorrow at losing the wrestling championship was assuaged a little by the thought that since North triumphed it’s all in the family and the title has not left Quincy for four years. Even now it looks more like the hockey than the baseball season. The snow on the ground is just beginning to melt, although we still feel confi- dent that the ground will be in playing condition by July or August. Just in case it is, here’s the Sportsfolio A. A. picked March 12, 1934. How does it compare with Coach Clarks’s Team? Mullen, Cleary, catchers; Fallon, Orlando, Porter, Mainhall and Sunnenberg pitchers; Spillane, lb; Ryan, 2b; Daley, Monahan, ss; Malvesti, Appel, 3b; Giglio, Grogan, Comparato, outfield. We have a suggestion to make. Having seen many basketball games, we have noticed a marked similiarity between it and hockey. One important feature is lacking, however, and that is crediting a player with a point for his personal standing when he figures in a play which results in a basket by another member of this team. This would correspond to the rating called “assist” in hockey, and would reward those players who constantly feed the pill to a team mate rather than shoot themselves, a great temptation.
