Sports In Review My 6464494 Football DORCHESTER I3 B. C. H. 6 The lightest Dorchester eleven in two decades, coached by Bill Pendergast, stepped out on the turf at Braves Field and showed what courage, hustle, and that never-say-die spirit could mean in a football game. Employing speed and de- ception, it toppled the highly-rated Boston College High Eaglets from their lofty perch, with a thump that echoed throughout the Boston Conference. THE GAME Dorchester kicked off, and the honors were rather even until the latter part of the period when the Maroon and Gold suddenly mouse- trapped almost the entire Dorchester line and fleet Charley Winchester scampered through the gaping hole for 79 yards and a touchdown. The try for the point failed. With Gene Ratto and Paul Farrell running superbly, the Dorches- ter eleven stormed up and down the field for the rest of the half, but never once could they cross into pay dirt. The score stood 6 - o starting the final period. Then on a series of crossbucks with Ratto carry- ing, the Red and Black moved to the B. C. H. one yard line, from where Ratto plunged over. The try for the point failed, and the score was tied 6 - 6. After the kickoff, a Franny Martin punt set B. C. H. back on their own ten. With but eighteen seconds left to play, Win- chester went back to pass. A horde of Dor- chester linemen swarmed over him, knocking the ball from his grasp. The alert Hurstack pounced on the ball in the end zone for six points. He then calmly converted and a few seconds later, the game ended. It was a great victory but also a costly one. Paulie Farrell injured his leg shortly after the third period got underway and had to be assisted from the field. This game merely confirmed Coach Pendergast's statement at the first practice session - that to have a winner this season, the team must be alert, have speed, and deception along with plenty of fight. THE HIGHLIGHTS Change of Gene Ratto from blocking back of last year to this year's driving fullback. Franny Martin's great choice of plays and fine clutch kicking. Bob Gould's stellar play at defensive left guard. Hurstack's place kicking. LATIN I8 DORCHESTER 7 Anyone who saw this game will have nothing but praise for the fighting lightweights from Dunbar Avenue. They fought a much heavier Latin school team to a standstill throughout the first half, but were nnally subdued in the second session when their lack of reserve strength proved too great a handicap, plus a howling wind that was responsible for Latin's first two scores. THE GAME Dorchester received the kickoff and after an exchange of punts Hurstack recovered a Latin fumble on the latter's forty-yard stripe. Ratto and Dolan made it a first down on the twenty Seven. The Red and Black passing attack was stopped and Latin took over on downs. After a short punt exchange, the Purple and White again fumbled and Norton recovered on the Latin forty-five. Dolan then completed a pass to McDonough, but Mickey, sporting a sprained thumb, couldn't grip the ball securely and it flew from his grasp into the arms of a charging defender. This just about ended the Red and Black offense for the first half as Latin, with the wind at its back, kept the leather deep in Dorchester territory. Thrice the strong forward wall backed up by HWhitey Norton and Harpo Bertazzoni repulsed the hard charging Latins only 8 yards from pay dirt. At the start of the third period the wind was still with the Purple and White, and after a one sided punt exchange, Latin took over on the Dorchester thirty-four. Five plays later and they had chalked up the first score of the game on a pass from Harwood to Gallagher. Later in the same period, a Martin punt into the wind could only reach the twenty and Latin page thirty-Hue
