The boys' basketball team entered its first season in the Western Division of the Wachusett League with John C. Dillon as coach. The team won five games and lost five in the league's stiff competition. As in football, injuries played a large part in the fortunes of the team. In the second game of the season Philip Messersmith sprained his ankle. In the final game he sprained it again. After the regular season, Bromfield was invited to the Townsend Tournament where they lost in the first round to Townsend High, 48-87.

FOOTBALL The Bromfield six-man football team started its second season with high hopes and plenty of spirit under the able guidance of our coach, John C. Dillon. As last year the team was in the 6-Man Football League. The season was quite successful with the team winning three games and losing three. There is no doubt that they would have fared better if they had not been hampered by many injuries. In the first game, Philip Messersmith scored four touchdowns, but in the second game he chipped a bone in his hand and was out for the better part of the season. George Ryan was injured in an early practice and could not play any games. John Hendrickson, Robert Hynes, and Robert Stephens also received injuries that hindered the team somewhat. At no time during the season were there more than ten men able to play each game. Because there were only twelve uniforms the squad was small and when players were on the injured list the equipment was passed around. Games were played on Willards' iield in Still River. Despite these setbacks, the squad made a very good showing. James Glenzel, a grammar school student, practiced with the team George Lennihan and Laurence Gates shared managerial duties very capably.
