First, we shall head for Bridgewater State Teachers College, where Martha Ball, Berry Rich, Anne Trask and Sally Stephenson are aspiring to their great ambitions. Turning toward the north- west, we find that joan Schmidt, now Mrs. Harry Todd, is keeping house for her husband in Alaska.

Hingham 21 -- Abington 7 The Green Wave received its initial defeat from Hingham. Dick Devlin scored for the losers with an 87-yard jaunt. Stoughton 45 -Abington 13 Abington High was overpowered by Stoughton largely because of Dick Klim's one-man offensive. Leo Arnold and Dick Devlin scored one touchdown each.

Abington 26- Bridgewater 0 After being held to a 6-0 lead in the hrst half, the Kellymen opened up with an aerial barrage with Lanky Jim Kelley and Gordon Bates receiv- ing, to snow Bridgewater under. Abington 7- Rockland 6 It was a muddy, hard-fought battle which A.H.S. won over her arch rival, Rockland. Mattson again provided the margin. john Gilbride' scored the six- pointer. Charmes was outstanding for the losers. The team kept their promise to Capt. Gus 'Berry. Canton 26 - Abington 6 Canton proved to be too powerful, as had been expected, but as a consolation john Gilbride scored the second tally to be scored against Canton this season. Whitman 13 - Abington 7 Abington closed its football season on Thanks- giving Day in a hard fought tussle with Whitman. In the first period Whitman led off on the first play with a touchdown. The point after by run was good. Abington ran back the kick to the 18, Gor- don Bates knelt near the sidelines in 'a clever play and caught the pass and carried it to the Whitman 18-yard line, to the amazement of the befuddled W.H.S. team. Then after one or two plays Thomp- son threw to Bates for the score. Mattson kicked the point and the score was tied, 7-7. The second period was predominated by Abington. In the third period Whitman ran back an Abington punt to score. The game continued in an even sided battle and Whitman edged out the victory. WILLIAM CRooK, '51
