Heineman shoots. all season. However, with the aid of some fine de- fensive work by Bill Adams, the H. and N. booters were able to hold Belmont to a scoreless tie. Before B. and N. was to win a game, they were beaten successively by Governor Dummer and Milton. Finally, against Roxbury Latin the forward line came to life and scored twice to give the team its first win 2-0. The highlight of the season was the Lawrence Academy game. The rain and mud-covered Held pre- vented the ball from bouncing out of control. ln the midst of the downpour the mud-covered B. and N. players could hear Coach Stonestreet, clad in a lashing outfit, yelling, Go get ,em boys, you love it, you love it. With these words of encouragement, plus the fact that they did ulovev the mud, the team turned in its most decisive victory, winning 3-0. Although losing to Nobles in the Final game, the sophomores on the squad showed great improvement. With eight lettermen returning, the prospects for B. and N. soccer look bright for next fall. As usual, Coach Stonestreet will be looking for eleven men who are willing to give all they have towards a winning endeavor. I am sure he will find them. xldunzr xmrcx, fin fH'1lL'fl.t'C Hand: you all.

The Browne and Nichols soccer team of nineteen lifty-seven will not go down in the record books as one of B. and Nfs hest teams.

TBALL The Browne :St Nichols Basketball team had a very successful season, in spite of discouraging pre-season predictions. Some of the forecasts disparaged our lack of height, others our loss of many last year stars. Coach Etter, however, dispelled many of the doubts when he stated that with a good team effort, we could have a very rewarding season, and perhaps be invited to the Private School Tournament in March. Skeptics gaufiawed. Pre-season games turned out fair, yet Mr. Etter's confidence was not shaken. During the annual Christ- mas Tournament, we beat Boston English, but were defeated by Arlington High and Belmont Hill, in our hrst of three trysts with the last. On Ianuary ninth, we opened at home against Christian High. We won the game handily with Altman, Cunningham, jackson, and Shapiro hitting for double Figures. Iackson picked up 22. Flushed with our victory over Christian, we made a trek to Portsmouth Priory, but were sharply let down by a 46-34 defeat. The skeptics looked smug. VN7hen, on Ianuary fifteenth, Groton invaded our gym, we knew we had a battle. Four down at the half, victory hopes were dim, but in the final minutes we edged ahead for a Sl-49 win. Doug Iackson hit for 25. Momentarily bouyed up by the last win, we went to Worcester. This Academy proved too powerful and we just c0uldn't get going. We lost for the second time 43-29. For the next ll games we went without a defeat. St. Sebastian was formidable, but we overcame them 555-l at Newton. jackson accounted for 19 points. Mike Altman and Doug jackson, with 21 and 15 points respectively, boosted BAN. to a win over Noble :Sz Greenough, as the team gained momentum.
