Dorchester High, 6; Arlington High, 6. The Arlington High School srpiad hiked to the Spy Pond Field on October 15, there to encounter the Dorchester eleven. The game commenced at 2.45 j). m. From the first whistle to the last our hoys outplayed their opponents in every de])artment of the game. But we succeeded in getting across the white line beneath their goal posts only once, Cadagan registering the only touch- down, while Dorchester made its score by plowing down the field to our ten-yanl line, and then their plucky full Ijack suc- ceeded in gaining our goal j)ost for a touchdown. During the rest of the game the hall remained mostly in Dorchester’s territory, without any scoring. When the final whistle blew, the ball was in our ])OS- session on Dorchester’s 15-yard line. Moore, Cadagan, Silver, Geary, Kenni- son j)layed well for the Bed and Gray, while Henderson was the bright light on the Dorchester team. ur lineup: Smith, Hadley Viano, Danton l.t.

The first half yvas nip and tuck, for Need- ham had a good, solid team, and it almost looked as if our squad had found its eipial. Every inch of ground yvas contested by both sides, and no big gains were made, since tbe wind (jiieered practically every forward pass. But in tbe second half things began moving. Suddenly Cadagan slipped around the left end with the ball, and was only stojqied yvhen nearly under the shade of the goal. Tyvo center rushes followed, and then the hall, two yards from the line, all yvaited breathless to see Silver plunge through under the goal. The ball yvas in motion; Silver rusbed straight ahead, but “Red” Cadagan, yvith the pigskin, cleared the left end and scored for Arlington. After that Needham seemed to have lost some of her grit, and Silver succeeded in scoring again. Both of the goals follow- ing the touchdoyvns failed on account of the yvind.

THE A. A. A. Well, we’re off. Talk about school sj)irit! 'iell, I guess we’ll have ath- letics in our school after all, when over o5 per cent of the students in our grand old school belong to the Athletic Association. For the benefit of our friends we will say that a tax of five cents a week j)er capita is put on each pupil in our school. This includes everyhotly, hut it is strictly voluntary. When in a school of over 6.50 over 85 per cent of the scholars enlist of their own accord in the Athletic .Association, we can rest assured of meet- ing our expenses at any time. That is what the words “school sj)irit” mean to us in the Arlington High. — o — FOOTBALL. At the first call for candidates thirty- seven athletes “to he” responded, a fine showing for the initial call. The day the call was issued the hoys were given a little “bean work” by the Principal, Mr. Burtt, who “notified” the hoys that no matter who won, playing sijuare was the game, and being good losers true sportsmanship. It is easily seen that Mr. Burtt does not know Arlington hoys or he would not have needed to say that. Being mostly all rookies, the squad is aliout as green as the freshmen, hut they are down every day on the field jiractising and drilling and slowly rounding into hard, solid, steady, machine-like gridiron men. Arlington, 1,3; Boxbury Latin, 0. They’re off! The first game has been jilayed, on October 12, and won by the hoys on our home grounds. Roxhury brought out a squad of good jilayers, hut they didn’t have the punch when it was needed. At the kick-off Gearv got the hall, hut didn’t get far before he w'as tackled. Then the hoys “went to it,” and from the beginning of the first quarter till the last of the last quarter the Arlington hoys pulled and pushed the hall down the field. In the very first half Moore got away for a thirty-yard run. Then between Geary, Cadagan, Silver, and Moore they worked the hall down to within Roxhury’s five- yard line. Then Geary used his head, and by a center rush by Moore, followed im- mediately by another by Silver, Arlington scored her first touchdown for the year. Good hoy. Silver! Then it was nip and tuck for the rest of the game, till in the last quarter “Red” Cadagan drilled his wav over the line for Arlington’s second touchdown. Fine work, “Red”! The goal w’as kicked, and Arlington had
