THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 1 3 Wednesday, Oct. 7, at Quincy. Al- though our men were outweighed, they put up a stiff fight, and held their op- ponents to one touchdown, the score being (5 to 0 in Quincy's favor. On this occasion Mansell and Cousins played their usual fast game. It was in this first game that Berquist showed up so brilliantly. He received much good practice while playing with Somerville last year. On Oct. !) the hoys went to the Brown and Nichols field to play a scrimmage with that team. The score was not counted. The third game was played at the home grounds on Oct. Iff, with Stone ham. Captain Mansell played a brill- iant and fast game, ably seconded by the rest of his ream mates. There were two very spectacular plays during the second half of the game. Stoneham had advanced the ball steadily down the field by a series of line plunges until Arlington's five-yard line was reached, when they were held for downs. Dun can passed the ball to Spencer, who faked a punt. The ruse worked, and Spencer was able to run down the field for a gain of forty yards. In the last quarter of play, Cousins received the ball on Arlington's forty-yard line, and rushed the remaining fifty yards for a touchdown, making the final score IS— 0. The game, on the whole, was easy, but, withal, well played. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE. Team Date Quincy at Quincy Oct. 7 Stoneham at Arlington Oct. Iff Natick at Arlington Oct.

12 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION On Sept. 17 the first meeting of the Athletic Association was held in the hall. Officers for the coming year were nominated. A few days later They were voted upon, and are as follows: President — Gaylord Goldsmith. Vice-President — Albert Wunderlich. Secretary — Katherine Eberhardt. Treasurer — Mr. Cross. The three alumni directors — Hicks, Landall. Scully. The three undergraduate directors — Kimball, Ross, Percy. Katharine Eberhardt, Sec. The athletic directors got busy a bit earlier than usual this year. The cross- country candidates were called out on the second day of school, while the football candidates followed suit in a few days. CROSS- -('GENTRY. The cross-country team, captained by G. H. Goldsmith, is made up of practi- cally the same men as was last year’s team. The team is sure to feel The loss of • Joe'' Zwinge. who is at present attend- ing Worcester Academy, and who is re- ported as having made good on their cross-country team. Several recruits have been showing up well in practice. Of ihese. Collins, one of the most promising, has been obliged to lay off, owing to an injury received in practice. The first run of the season was held over the new Spring St. course, which has been selected for This year's work. The teams scheduled to run were Ar- lington, Melrose and Malden. At the last moment Malden backed out. and Arlington and Melrose were left to tight it out. The race was easily won by Arlington, this team finishing five men in a dead heat, fifty yards in ad- vance of Heald, the first Melrose man. The first five to finish were: G. Gold- smith leapt.). C. Adams, R. Hatfield, H. Kimball, A. Wunderlich Robinson, Reycroft, Morse and Young finished in the order named. Percy Johnson was not allowed to enter the race on account of a previous sickness, which has diminished his for- mer strength. FOOTBALL. Although the football squad is al- most entirely new, it is doing exceed- ingly well. There are but five veterans on the team — Mansell, Cousins, Dun- can. Caterino and Campbell. These five men make a great tower of strength, about which the recruits may rally. On account of extra work which Rob- bins was carrying, it was impossible for him to come out for the team until just before the Stoneham game. Robbins is a very clever player, and his presence is sure to be felt in the coming games, as it was in the Stoneham game. The team played its first game on

14 THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION she was at times pressed for the honors by some of the less fortunate ones in the field. .Miss Darling, Miss A. Hooker, Miss Doris Devereanx and Miss It. Mitchell were the rnnners-np. Miss Darling came out victor, and re- ceived a handsome silver cup presented by Mr. Gilbert. Miss Hooker won the second cup, a silver trophy presented by the management of the tournament. r.CLPPIEF. The following exchanges arrived too late for acknowledgment in the ( Tarion : •‘11)13 Glass Hook, Burlington High School. ••The Recorder. Springfield High Schools. The Mirror. Waltham High School. The Marion,” West Roxbury High School. The Glarion has an excellent liter- ary department, but is lacking in an exchange column. The Recorder is an unusually well- arranged paper. A few more stories would add greatly to its interest, how- ever. The exchange column in The Mir- ror is especially good. The paper con- tains many good stories, too.
