On the road for the second time the team suffered a heartbreaking l-0 loss October 17 at the hands of a scrappy Choate J.V. club. Mortell and Stenstream filling in for the absent Zeffiro were outstanding in defensive roles. The Big Red suffered its third defeat October 21 at Washington against Berkshire 5-2. The Green was far superior and only goals by Mac- Kenzie and Fisher averted a shutout. The best game of the season was played three days later at Kingswood. Early in the third quar- ter Fisher headed in an out-of-bounds kick by Morrell to give The Gunnery a 1-O lead. This lasted until a desperate Kingswood team tied it up with less than two minutes remaining. Slater Vartes and Clarke were standouts in this ex- tremely rough contest. Returning home the Red and Gray tied the Taft j.V. s l-1, October 29 on a rain-soaked field. An early goal by on Slater and a brilliant de- HOYT ALDERMAN Hoawooo 53 MORTELL
