FOOTBALL llli squad returned one week early for practice this fall with ten letter men. liveryone was eager and had hopes of a good season. For two weeks the squad went through a period of intensive drilling and toughening. On October 4, Rivers was defeated 20-0. One week later Browne and Nichols met the same fate and was downed 13-6. On the following Saturday, however, we were beaten 19-0 by Nobles Brooks was consistently outplayed through- out the game, and was unable to show at all. Profiting by the previous week's loss, we met Cambridge on October 25 and made sure the same thing would not he repeated. The result was a 27-O victory for Brooks. Following this, there was a week and a half rest before the Belmont game. The team was primed and ready. lfrom the beginning to the end Brooks played its finest game of the season. Offensively and defensively, the team was clicking and the game ended in a 12-0 victory for Brooks. The season ended as one of the most suc- cessful in the history of the school. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Cronin are to be congratulated and sincerely thanked for their inspiring and tireless efforts with the team. The very best of luck is wished by all to the co-captains elect, Roland lVlacNichol and Andrew Shinkle, for a successful season next year. G. lxflACNlCHOl,, '42, Crzpmin no

HOCKEY HIS year the team competed in a private school tournament in Cam- bridge during the Christmas vacation. Lacking several of her players, Brooks lost to Browne and Nichols and Governor Dummer, but suc- ceeded in defeating Pomfret. Though the team met defeat in the tournament, l feel that it was of future value and should be continued. The opening game of the regular season in an overtime triumph over Browne and Nichols 5-2. The next game against Noble's proved to be the hardest fought contest of the year. With the score tied 2-2, late in the game, a Noble's forward hit the net with a lucky shot to carry away the game 3-2. A week later, Brooks met an aggressive Belmont team to be defeated in a high scoring match 10-5. Lack of defensive strength spelled de- feat, for the first line continually carried the game into Belmont territory. Groton and Andover were unable to play owing to epidemics and poor condi- tions. The last games of the season were against Governor Dummer and Rivers. Brooks won both games easily with scores of 5-2 and 6-1 respectively. This closed a most successful season due to a willing and ambitious squad. We of the team who are graduating congratulate Mr. Morse on his grand job of coaching and wish next year's team and Dick Lee the best of luck. JACK SOPER, '42, Captain 23
