THE GREEN AND WHITE 17 At last the pupils of the C. M. H. S. have awakened to the fact that athletics are as necessary to the school activities as the courses themselves. A successful track team has been organized which showed its true worth at the recent track meet at Kingston. The base ball team, too, is on its way to a famous season. We cannot let our team fight it out alone! We must back them, show our school spirit, and cheer them on to victory. BASE BALL On account of the prevailing cold and unsettled weather for the past year, athletic activities did not commence until well into spring. At a special meeting held during the month of March, Carmine Maisano was elected captain; John Scanlon, manager; and Mr. Wisbey, coach of the Colt nine for the coming season. Our first game was won on the common April 17, when we defeated the Barrington High, by a score of 19-9. On April 19th we were defeated by the Warren High at Warren, 21-Z After this game we lost our coach, Mr. Wisbey; then Mr. Condon, formerly of West Warwick High, was elected. On April 24th, we went to Central Falls to play. Owing to the inclement weather the game was called after five innings, with the Central Falls nine in the lead. April 26 will be a date well remembered, for that day the Colt High defeated their life long rivals, St. Mary’s, of Taunton, 22-9. This was the first time Colt defeated St. Mary’s in a good many years. Tuesday, May 1, we defeated English High, at Bristol, 7-6. Our next game was played at Newport on May 8th. where we were defeated by Rogers High, 26-6. Friday, May 11th, we were defeated by Warwick High, 11-6, at Apponaug. On May 17th, we defeated Warren High in a return game, at Bristol, 19-12. We met with another defeat the next day, when we went to Peacedale and were defeated by South Kingston High, 14-6. Our next game was played at Bliven Field, the use of which was kindly granted by the management of the Bristol Base Ball Association. Here we were defeated, May 22, by Central Falls High by a score of 9-6. The following games remain to be played: May 25—Barrington at Barrington. May .28—Taunton at Taunton. June 12—Warwick at Bristol. June 15—Rogers at Bristol. June 19—Alumni at Bristol. -----o------ TRACK This is the first year that the Colt High School has been represented on the cinder path. Early in April there was a call for candidates to form a track team. About twenty boys responded. The ground in the rear of the school was prepared for high and broad jumping. It also supplied ample space for the 220 and 100-yard dash. The longer runs such as the quarter, half mile and mile were practiced on the Sylvester Oval. A great deal of credit is' due to Mr. Condon who gave up much of his time in coaching and helping the team in many ways. May twelfth, the team was scheduled to participate in the track meet at the Rhode Island State College. William Remieres was elected manager, and James Goff, captain. Sixteen out of the twenty candidates were considered eligible to take the trip. At 7.30, two automobiles loaded with would-be athletes left the school in a slight fog which had settled over the town. The Bristol boys were assigned to Class B. At the end of the meet the Bristol team was tied with four other schools of Class B, each having scored two points. Technical High School of Providence received first prize, and English High School of that city captured second prize. Both these schools were in Class A. It is hoped that a meet may be arranged between Barrington and Bristol High School for the first week in June. It is expected that about twenty-five boys and fifteen girls will take part in the various events scheduled for this meet. J. G.. ’23.

That page was out of my book.
