quarterback Larry Bushey passed to Captain Bill Cahill in the flat and the latter went over forthe score. Dick Sheehanis attempted place- ment was blocked, and the game was deadlocked. B. C. High took O,Toole,s kickoff on its own 35. Doyle carried five yards to the 40, but on the next play the Eaglets fumbled and Cahill recovered on the 39. Fullback Stan Livingstone then cut through the center of the line, broke into the open, and galloped 39 yards for the winning touchdown. Milano then rushed for the point. The Red and Black appeared to be on its way to another touchdown in the third period as it marched 60 yards to the B. C. High one yard line, where a bad pass from center set them back to the twenty. Two plays later the ball was lost on downs. The bad breaks were evened up in the fourth quarter after the Eaglets had marched 80 yards to the Dorchester one-foot line. The threat was halted, when Ritchie Doyle slipped to the ground on a fourth-down end sweep. This was the end for B. C. High as the Red and Black held the ball until the final whistle. Dorchesteris line play was outstanding in stemming the con- tinous B.C. rushing oHense with Joe Kelley, Bill Cahill, Tony Ryan, and Nippie,' Lester turning in terrific ball games. DORCHESTER 19 - COMMERCE 7 The new Boston Conference champs finished the season in grand style by rolling over rival Commerce with a decisive 19-7 victory. Dunbar tallied its first touchdown in the early minutes of the opening period. As soon as Dan O,Toole had kicked off, Commerce obliged by fumbling on its own 16 yard line and Tom Lester pounced on the loose ball. Fullback Stan Living- stone picked up nine yards to the seven, and Milano broke through for a first down on the three. The determined Commerce line held for three downs, but Livingstone finally hit pay dirt on the fourth attempt. Dick Sheehanis placement failed when a Blue and White Hanker broke through to block the ball. Commerce tried to put Dorchester in a hole by punting on first down throughout the rest of the initial quarter, but was unsuccessful. 44 RED AND BLACK The Red and Black' scored a second touchdown in the latter part of the following period after incessantly threatening the rival goal-line. With the ball on the Commerce 30 yard line, Milano passed 13 yards to Larry Bushey who galloped all the way to the end zone in vain, as a clipping penalty set them back to the 20. After Living- stone and Milano alternated the ball, toting for seven yards on two plays, the latter clipped off 14 yards through tackle to the one-yard line from where he bucked over on the next rush. Bill McDonald then went over from the two for the extra point. Dorchesteris final tally was set up in the third round when Bill McDonald intercepted a Chris Mahoney aerial just inside the Commerce 30 yard line. Milano rounded the Blue and Whiteis left end and rolled off 12 yards to the 15. After making a first down on the ten, Livingstone covered the remaining yardage on the next play for the clinching touchdown. Commerce made an attempt to get in the ball game late in the same period, but, after marching 80 yards downfield, the ball was lost on downs on the Red and Black ten yard stripe. The Blue and White squad finally dented the scoring column in the final chapter as Dor- chester rested on its laurels, when the shifty backfield ace, Jim Kenney, raced 79 yards on a breakaway. Mahoney then passed for the point-after. The Commerce stalwarts made a valiant at- tempt to even up the contest during the second half. but they were no match for the Red and Black's fast-breaking backs and steadfast line. The following players received their varsity letters: Burkhard, Bushey, Cahill, Campbell, Daneman, Delano, Coggin, Kelly, Lester, Living- stone, MacDonald, McDonald, Milano, Mullen, O'Toole, Ryan, Schwehr, Sheehan, Tobin, Tracy, Trecarichi, Walsh, and McNamara, mgr.
