The team beat Bridge- water 19-if in the first game of the year. The second victim, Rockland, was badly beaten to the tune of 33-0. Franklin was finally subdued 7-6 after an hour's hard battling. Be- cause this game proved to be a dan- ger sign for low scores, Canton beat Foxboro 48-ff to restore the old con- fidence. This almost proved to be over-confidence in the Mansfield game, and the ball see-sawed back and forth until there remained a scoreless tie and only twenty seconds to play. A lVIansfield secondary was downed behind his own goal line for a safety and a two point winning margin for Canton. After this an epidemic of twenty- sixes over came the Canton team and it lasted for two weeks. Whitman felt the effects of this plague and was beaten 26-0, but Walpole was the more courageous of the two and man- aged to score in the last minute to save a shutout, Canton 26-Walpole 7. The game with North Easton ar- rived. The first team went in but soon was exhausted. so the second team went in and they too became fatigued. The shock troops took up the burden and barely lasted the game because they were practically out on their feet. This was not the poor condition of Coach Donovan's tContinued on page 425

Bitetti, Mr. Donovan. Second Row: F. Witt, Henderson, J. Radzevich, E. Yeomans, R. Fish, R. Gibson, C. Thomas, E. Minichielli, R. Cohen, Ciriello, D. Packard. Third Row: M. Ferguson, N. Farrington, F. Martin, H. Parker, R. Hallett, R. Keefe, C. Riley, R. Morse. BASEBALL This year there has been an appar- ent lack of pitching talent, although the pitchers have had little chance to get started thus far. There are, how- ever, many veterans on the team, in- cluding none other than our great catcher, Carleton Thomas, who is the spark plug of the team, the fleet- ifooted left fielder, Bob Gibson, and third-baseman Charlie Stevenson. Yeomans and Distafens, also veterans of last year's team, hold down the positions of right-Held and second base respectively. Everett Minich- ielli has stepped into the position of shortshop, left vacant by Charlie McGowan, and by his fielding, as Well as his hitting ability, has proved an asset to the team. After starting off by losing the iirst game to Franklin High, a score of 7 to 6 in a hard fought game, the team turned about and conquered the strong Walpole team with the score of 9 to 6. In this game, the team showed its offensive strength as Well as its ability to hit in the pinches. Up to the present time, only these two games have been played, but a hard schedule is ahead, including a series in which five games are played in as many days. This will, however, only serve to get up the lighting spirit of the team-a spirit which carries many a team through with flying colors, and will be no exception in this case, we are sure.
