ffff 6 Qs CHELMsFoaD HIGH SCHOOL Football Even though the 1946 football season was not as victorious as Chelmsford's seasons usually are, the spirit of each player was evident in every game, and the team was a real credit to Chelms- ford High School. Lack of veteran material was the main reason for the unfavorable scores, the only returning players from the 1945 championship team being Hoyle, Lovett, McDonald, and Morrell. The season opened with a dedication of the new football field and also by a loss to Punchard 12 to 0, Another strong team from Andover, johnson, handed Chelmsford a 19 to 7 setback. Then came the first title game against Tewksbury, a handffought contest which was lost 20 to 7. Dracut followed, and determined as the boys were to secure a win, the game resulted in a 0 to 0 tie. Next came a powerful Maynard eleven, who, anxious to avenge the 13 to 6 heating suffered in 1946, piled up a 41 to 14 score. Though outscored, the boys were not outspirited. Spurred on by this defeat, they were anxious to make a come hack against Pinkerton Academy, but a rally in the last quarter failed, and again they lost 12 to 6. The next game, the only night game of the season, was a hearthreaker. Even though the Chelmsford team gained 241 yards to Hudf son's 20, they came out on the short end of a 6 to O count. The boys battered Hudson all over the park, and this was without question a moral victory for them. Concord, the team that easily won the Class D state title, handed out a 52 to 6 beating. Chelmsford had the honor, however, of being one of the only two teams to score on Concord all year. The traditional Thanksgiving Day game was also lost to Howe 12 to 6. The boys played a good game throughout, but again the breaks were not with them. In spite of all setbacks, Chelmsford High School is proud indeed to see their two valiant captains, Hoyle and Lovett, make the all Suburban team this year. The departing seniors will always remember Coach Pappalardo and Assistant Coach Hicks whose efforts were tireless and whose faith in their team prevailed throughout a trying season. Even if we have not built winning scores this year at Chelmsford, we feel we have built a spirit and earned an experience which will win for us later. Lettermen graduating this year who played well throughout the season were CofCaptains Bump Lovett and Bob Hoyle, Don Burne, Tom Chagnon, Swish johnson, Hector McDonald, Gimp Morrell, Buddy Peterson, and George Pontefract. Special credit is due to our very efficient managers, Robert McDonald and james Whitworth. cis.
