Canal Currents, Bourne High School On Friday, March 19, Bourne went down to defeat against a clever Rock- land team, 26-25, in a game that was very hard to take. The team tried its best but could not score against Rockland as they had against Winchester. There were so many ifs” to the game that it will take quite a while to forget it. Bourne was even better represented in the cheering section than in Wed- nesday’s game. However, the team went to the finals Saturday. After the final game, we were elated to find that we had been awarded the Navy trophy. This trophy, signifying the team showing the best teamwork, sportsmanship, mental alert- ness, and competitive spirit, means a great achievement. In many ways it is a greater award than winning the championship, and the team is very happy and proud to have won it.

Canal Currents, Bourne High School Second Team T. Gagnon forward M. Coady center L. Perry forward P. Gagnon forward G. McGovern forward R. Federici guard D. Kelly forward W. Parady guard You will notice that the entire first team will leave us by June. The above boys, who already show promise, have a tough assignment in living up to this year’s record. The M. I. T. Tournament After enjoying one of the best seasons in the history of Bourne High, the Bourne Basketball Team was invited to compete in the annual M. I. T. Tournament held in Cousens Gymnasium, Medford. During the regular season Bourne had won nineteen games and lost one. The team participated in light workouts before the opening day of the tour- nament. On March 17, the team left Bourne about 9 A. M. for Boston. We had lunch at 1 1 A. M. in Cambridge. Then we went to Cousens Gym, one of the finest in the country, to try out the baskets and floor. After a twenty-minute rest, the team made its entrance on the floor. At 2:30 P. M., Bourne squared off against Winchester, a team represent- ing a town of 15,000 people, and boasting of a record of eleven wins and four defeats. Bourne came out of this game winning 45 to 22, the score by peri- ods being 11-6, 20-17, 31-21, and 45-22, Bourne leading all the way. The school and townspeople turned out in large numbers, giving Bourne the best representation of any school that day. Page Thirty

Cunningham, Eldridge, Lindquist, J. Cunningham, MacCombie, Bachand Game Provincetown — Bourne 7-0 Nantucket — Bourne 9-0 Y armouth — Bourne 35-0 Y armouth — Bourne 33-6 Schedule Hanover — Bourne 6-0 Falmouth — Bourne 0-0 Wareham — Bourne 13-6 Played away from home The Bourne line was very strong, being scored on for only four touch- downs all season. Crump was the bulwark of the line, playing a strong de- fensive as well as offensive game. Crump also stood out as diagnosing enemy plays and stopping them. The ends were Parady and Jenkins. These two were a tough pair to get around, both of them playing a good clean game. Long gains were made on passes to these two. The guards, Ellis and Wing, were also hard to move. Ellis shone brightly on the defensive; not many plays got through him. Wing also stopped plenty of enemy plays this fall. The tackles were Thom and Boyden. These boys bolstered the line in weight and fight. Thom’s educated toe accounted for extra points by place- kicking. Wing, despite injuries, played to perfection all fall. We feel that this line was about the best found on the Cape. The backfield boasted three stars: C. Tucy, D. Cunningham, and Eldridge. The trio connected for a large number of touchdowns. Tucy accounted for yardage in line bucks while Eldridge and Cunningham ran the ends and off- tackle plays. Through graduation, all but three of this team will be gone, but we shall not forget them. Other boys who have seen service this fall and who will help next year’s prospects are: Guards — Dean, Dixon; Ends — Coady, Cardoza; and Backs — Putney and Kenison. Page Thirty-tu ' O
