“PIKE” JOHNSON, Captain of the Football Team We got to Detroit Friday morning and went to the Cadillac Hotel. We practiced that morning, and then started out to look over the city. Saturday afternoon we started the game at three o’clock. It was a grim, hard, old battle in which every man’s muscles were tense every moment of the time. Nobody can realize the strain on the fellows except one who has been under similar circumstances. Although we didn’t win, we at least kept Central High from winning. So it is then that Everett and Central both can claim the national cham¬ pionship. The class of 1916 may well be proud of its members on the football team. Thirteen of the twenty-one men to get their letters belong to 1916. They are Green, Fitzgerald, Bradley, Trowbridge, Karl Johnson, Pontefract, Ehard Johnson, John Johnson, Silva, Lynch, Shea, Davidson, and Foreshaw. “Pike” is. the best lineman Everett ever had; “Ty” Green, the best defen¬ sive back; Trowbridge, the best end; and Fitzgerald, one of the best, if not the best, quarter-back that ever wore an Everett suit. In the midst of our victories we are about to suffer a great loss. Cleo O’Donnell, the best coach that ever sent an Everett team on the field, who has coached more victorious Everett teams than any other coach, is going to coach Purdue University next year. Although we know that we shall feel the loss very much we realize that Cleo is going to something better, and we wish him the greatest success. Everett is exceedingly fortunate to be able to get “Ginger” Frazer to try and fill Cleo’s shoes. Frazer, the former Colby full-back, was one of the best backfield men of all times. Like Cleo, Frazer will get into a suit and 16 RAYMOND TROWBRIDGE Captain of the Baseball Team

) 1 1 H The football season has closed, and, as you read this, the baseball season will be drawing to a close also. In the past year Everett has been very prominent in athletics. The football season began with a bang when we defeated Fitchburg 44 to 0. The next game, the Mechanic Arts game, was played on a nice juicy field. The game was featured by many “fall-away” slides and a spectacular 99-yard run by ‘‘Pike.” Rindge was rather a tough nut to crack. Everett beat Rindge more than is evident by the score, but were unfortunately robbed of their chances by penalties. Tilton, Wellesley, Manchester, and Malden were all easier vic¬ tories than Rindge. There was a certain sense of satisfaction in beating our old-time rival, Malden, so soundly. The game was all Everett’s from the very first, and continued so throughout. There was one regrettable feature in the game and that, the injury of Rowe, the Malden captain. Every Everett man was very sorry that the accident happened. The next in line was Medford. They gave us a hard game, but never had a chance to win in the entire game. They were the only team to score on Everett. Although it was only a drop-kick, and although they didn’t carry the ball over our goal line, they scored nevertheless and deserve the credit for it. In the Somerville game, our team was in very bad condition. Some had bad legs, others, bad ankles, and others had bad shoulders. In spite of this Everett won and was able to keep Somerville from getting dangerous. The second team beat Melrose 48 to 0 on Thanksgiving Day. The following Saturday Everett played Waltham, her much talked-of rival. Although we beat Waltham 6 to 0, it was somewhat disappointing from an Everett viewpoint. We should have beaten them by at least four touchdowns, but the team was still in a crippled condition. In spite of their crippled condition Everett beat the widely-her aided Waltham team. Then followed a week that none of us will ever forget. We went through a great deal of hard practice until Thursday, when we left for Detroit. Every man on the team certainly appreciated the rousing send-off that the students gave us. 15

play. The team next year will have some time trying to stop Frazer when he gets going. Every loyal Everettite is with him and wishes him the greatest success. Next we turn to the baseball team and find it to be made up almost wholly of 1916 men. In Trowbridge we have a great captain. The team started off with a rush this year and have been going at a fast clip up to date. They have lost a few games, but still are due to end well up in the league if not at the top. With the passing of 1916 there is also the passing of O’Donnell, but like O’Donnell the class of 1916 will never be forgotten either in athletics or any other activity.
