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.

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

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.

HOOP-STAR TERRY O'CONNOR-Terry is the spark at all times. His smooth passes set up many a score. LATIN SCHOOL 36 - DORCHESTER zo Minus Captain Gwynne Edwards, the Red Q5 Black hoop squad dropped its fourth straight game. A big Latin quintet capitalized on Dor- chester fouls and mistakes to win going away. A bit of spice was put into an otherwise dull game when Dorchester staged another of those third quarter comebacks. However, it fell short and Latin was never in trouble thereafter. Bush led the scoring for Dorchester again, but he didn't seem to have the range and missed the basket a number of times on shots that are usually easy for him. Blair, O'Connor, and Ed Flaherty also scored. HOOP-STAR NEAL BLAIR-Neal has the best shot of page forty-two anyone on the squad. He doesn't have many chances, but when he does, he makes them count. B. C. HIGH 34 -DORCHESTER 21 Minus Terry O'Connor, the hapless Dorchester quintet went down to its sixth straight defeat, at the hands of a smart stepping B. C. High live. Dorchester battled on even terms in the first period, but the Eaglets took over from that point and literally romped into victory. For the first time this season a Dorchester player scored more points than Fred Bush, namely Neal Blair. Neal was all over the court as he racked up eleven points, which was one up on the aforementioned Mr. Bush. No other Red 8 Black player could score. HOOP-STAR NEAL BLAIR - Neal is a living reminder of the phrase, 'Cood things come in small packages.
