WEEKLY STANDOUT JOHN FLYNN- 'ATarz played a whale of a game. A little more accuracy on his playoff shots and the result might have been different. DORCHESTER 5 -TRADE SCHOOL 4 Once again the Red 25 Black six stole the headlines as they came from way back to drop highly favored Trade out of the ranks of the undefeated, just as the Tradesmen had done to the Dorchester football team last fall. Mainly through the efforts of the opposing goalies, the first period went by without a score. How- ever, midway in the second stanza the Trades- men's vaunted power came to the fore and three fast goals whizzed past the prone Bob Dickey. Expecting Trade to coast to victory, onlookers were amazed as they saw the Red 'id Black fight back to an even keel before the period ended. Ed Flaherty started the scoring when he inter- cepted Flynn's freak shot and flipped it into the corner of the net. Franny Martin followed page forty this with the first of his trio of goals when he lifted into the nets from the blue line. Then Bo Mulligan picked up the disc in center ice and went in on the unguarded Trade goalie to score easily and knot the count. Early in the third period, Martin tallied on a blistering penalty shot to put the Red '55 Black into a one goal lead. A few minutes later Flynn deposited the rubber on Martin's stick and Fran- ny scored a slick goal from close up. Trade fought back viciously but could solve Bob Dickey for only one goal despite the fact that Dorchester was two men short at one time. The game ended with the heretofore invincible Trade six on the short end of a 5 to 4 score. ICE CHIPS Garden Standouts - FRANNY MARTIN and BOB DICKEY - Franny Martin's hat trick entitles him to the Star of the Day rating. However, Dickey's great goal tending can't be overlooked.

Hockey ENGLISH 7 DORCHESTER 3 A veteran English High six swarmed in and about Goalie Bob Dickey for the better part of two periods, and Bob was forced to make one spectacular save after another. But then, with Ed Flaherty in the penalty box, the Double Blue solved Dickey's magic and sent the disc spinning into the net twice before the period ended. Three more tallies in the final stanza settled the outcome. Dorchester had taken a lead of 2 - 1 in the first period on two shining goals off the stick of Deacon Handrahan. Tarzan Flynn set up both scores with ac- curate passes. This lead was lengthened when Paul Farrell took a pass from Ratto and shot it home in 1:18 of the second period. An English goal made it 3 - 2 and then the game blew up. GAME STANDOUT BOB DICKEY - Bob had more than thirty saves with at least half on the spectacular side. DORCHESTER 5 MECHANICS 1 Leaping away to a fast lead at the outset, the speedy Red and Black six were never headed as it completely dominated play througout the contest. Once more Bob Dickey shone in the nets making sixteen stops. One of these at the end of the first period was simply amazing. Paul Farrell scored the first goal from an almost impossible angle at 3 :24 of the opening stanza. Then in the second period, Franny Martin took A'Tarzan Flynn's smooth pass and slid it home in 1:37. Ed Flaherty followed this with his first goal at 2:49. The outcome was assured in the final period when Flaherty soloed for his second score, timed in 6:30. Farrell com- pleted the rout by tallying at 7:41. BRIGHTEST STAR HBO MULLIGAN- Bo broke up one Buff and Blue attack after another and then either dashed down the ice in Eddie Shore fashion or fed soft passes to his waiting forwards: LATIN 3 DORCHESTER 2 ln one of the best games seen on the Garden ice this season, Boston Latin came from behind twice and finally tallied the winning marker with only twenty-eight seconds left to play. Dorchester, as usual, grabbed the lead when Martin scored unassisted in 3:52 of the initial stanza. Latin tied it up with a score at the six minute mark. Dorchester went into the lead again, in the second period when Ed Fla- herty took a soft pass from Tarzan Flynn and easily beat the Latin goalie. Time 1:31. Latin again knotted the count, and then with Gene Ratto on the bench with an injured shoulder, Hamilton of Latin hung up the heart- breaker. H D page thirty-nine

COMMERCE 3 DORCHESTER 1 A slightly conceited Dorchester six, fresh from its upset victory over Trade, was humbled by an underdog High School of Commerce Team at the Boston Arena. Commerce tallied twice in the first period and extended their lead to the lackadaisical continued with on clear break- little of the old three goals in the second as play of the Red and Black forwards merely coasting in aways. Dorchester showed a spark in the third period and Franny Martin's of play averted goal in the last few minutes a shutout. Mulligan assisted on the play. How- ever, the Commerce defense held and the game ended with Dorchester on the short end of a three to one score. HOCKEY HOTSHOTS As for the standout of that final game: you pick one. We can't. Seasonal Standout - BOB DICKEY - Could have been any of six, but we'll give the nod to Dickey. Bob might not have been conf sistent, but he certainly was spectacular. SCORING RECORDS FOR THE YEAR Name Goals Assists Points Flynn I 8 9 Martin 7 o 7 Flaherty 6 o 6 Farrell 3 o 3 Mulligan 1 2 3 Handrahan 2 o 2 Ratto o 1 I Basketball ENGLISH 51 DORCHESTER I7 After a lapse of thirty or more years, this widely acclaimed sport returned to the Boston Conference. And in the first game of the season, Coach George Barry's Dorchester quintet fell before the smooth passing attack of English High School. However, despite the size of the score, this Red and Black outfit did show po- tentialities and the other schools in the Con- ference won't find it a soft touch. Fred Bush, rangy center, led the Dorchester scoring with nine points. Guard, Gwynne Edwards, and forward, Neal Blair split the remaining eight points evenly. HOOP STAR FRED BUSH - Fred stood out in a losing cause. With a bit more luck he might have doubled his score. ROXBURY MEMORIAL I4 DORCHESTER 32 The newly formed Dorchester basketball team suffered its second successive defeat of the season - this time at the hands of a big, speedy, Memorial five. The boys from Dunbar put up quite a struggle, and at the halfway mark Roxbury held a slim lead of only two points. However, their greater height showed to ada vantage in the last half as they chalked up twenty-one points against fourteen for the Red and Black to win going away. Fred Bush led the scoring for both sides with thirteen points, a few of his scoring shots covering half the distance of the court. Sparkplug Terry O'Connor collected nine points, while the re- maining member of that first line, bespectacled Neal Blair added six. Others to take part in the scoring were, Captain Gwynne Edwards and Guard Ken Peters with two points apiece and HX Nihan who gathered the final point. HOOP STAR GWYNNE EDWARDS - Gwynne broke up many a Roxbury scoring threat under the basket and passed very accurately to his forwards. TRADE SCHOOL 30 - DORCHESTER 26 Not to be outdone by the great football and hockey contests between these two schools, this hoop game also turned out to be a thriller. Dorchester was seven points down going into the third quarter, but sparked by fiery little Neal Blair four quick baskets were hung up and the Red '65 Black had the lead. They could not hold it, however, and after a seesaw strug- gle: the game ended with Trade having a two goal edge. Fred Bush as usual led the Dor- chester scoring with ten points. Blair totaled six. O'Connor had five. Peters notched three and Edwards two. page forty-one
