20 1920 ECHO Coach Frank Keaney FOOTBALL By Herbert Splane OW that the day of reckon¬ ing is at hand, we may take gieat pleasure in going over our past football sea¬ son. Some wise professors toll us to let the past be the past, Captain Beck which is good advice, but at this time we will consider their advice as we do the weather man’s forecasting in the Boston American. Everett enjoyed a very successful football season. Through the untir¬ ing efforts of Coach Keaney, a team was placed on the field which brought great credit to the school. The team was also fortunate in having for a leader, Captain William Beck, Jr. Capt. Beck set a splendid example for the players both by his performing on the field and by the spirit with which he attacked all problems. Everett 43—Hyde Park 0 On September 27th the team started on its upward way. This game gave Coach Keaney an excellent opportuni¬ ty to see his ’19 team under fire. The Everett half backs tore through the Hyde Park line almost at will. The most sensational play of the game was a ninety yard run by Sweetland; taking the ball on the kick-off he eluded every man on the Hyde Park team. Capt. Gene Hussey starred for Hyde Park.

1920 ECHO 19 Frank Porter was business man¬ ager and we’ll hand it to Frank as being one of the best little managers Frank R. Porter in captivity. Nat Kosak and William Dowd let the world in on a chance to advertise on the menu (I mean pro¬ gram) and Lewis Slack, Walter Woods, and Paul Dcrn pushed the scenery around. The play was given Thursday and Friday, May 20 and 21. The hall was full to capacity both nights and the crowd certainly got their lil’ four bits’ worth. Dress rehearsals were given on the previous Tuesday and Wednes day afternoons for the grammar school children. As near as I could count, there were 361,432 children who at¬ tended. Four famous press agents made a tour of the schools and told the children of the play and why they should come, one and all. They came, all, and one more. Later one of the press agents said that he thought kindergarten teachers were just grand, which just goes to show the older we get the younger ideas we get. Now that we have dug up with our little shovel all that we could and brought to your minds once more the Class Play of the Class of ’20, we once more wish to thank all who helped in any way to make the play the suc¬ cess that it was. —Arthur Flood.

1920 ECHO 21 Everett 47—Lynn Electrical 0 In the second game of the season Everett continued her creditable work. The Lynn Electrical team came with flying colors but went away without a single tally to her credit. The Ev¬ erett team went after the game from the first sound of the whistle. Sweet- land, Kelley, and Silvaggio made long gains which resulted in seven touch¬ downs and five goals. Nearly every player on the squad was given an op¬ portunity to display his football abili¬ ty. Everett 41—Newton 6 On Columbus Day Newton came to Everett with every intention of going home with a victory. This was the first league game of the season and a victory meant much to either team. The Everett team realizing this fact, entered the field with that same de¬ termination which marked its work throughout the season. The team dis¬ played its football knowledge through¬ out the entire game. The manner with which the double pass, cross bucks, delayed pass and in fact all plays were executed, would have done credit to any college team Newton was unable to stop the spectacular work of Kelley and Sweetland while Silvaggio gave as fine an exhibition of line bucking as one might hope to see. The entire Everett line smeared many a play before it was even start¬ ed. Eames signalized his return from the State Guard by making many stel¬ lar tackles. Everett 20—Medford 13 Before the largest crowd of the sea¬ son Everett defeated Medford in a hard fought game. Everett has the credit of being the first team to de¬ feat Medford in the Suburban League since 1915. Everett resorted to the same mode of attack used in the other games. Its fast running attack kept the visi¬ tors in constant fear of their goal line. Coach Keaney, not altogether satis¬ fied with the showing made at Wal¬ tham, shifted Porter to centre and Bazley to guard. Everett kicked to Medford at the start of the game. After a few plays Medford fumbled and Frank Porter fell on it. This started the team on its first touchdown aided by a 25-yard run by Kelley. Silvaggio slipped through left tackle for a gain and “Buckie” by a 15 yard sprint brought the ball to the one yard line and Sil¬ vaggio took the ball over. During the first half Everett showed fine offensive power carrying the ball to the five yard line there to lose it on downs. After being penalized 15 yards “Buckie” became peeved and on the next play made one of his spectacular runs through the entire team and romped 72 yards for a touchdown. The third touchdown was made by Gberlander, who very gracefully in¬ tercepted a forward pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. He made consistent gains during the entire game and showed his versatility throughout the game. In the latter part of the game Med¬ ford showed great fight and scored two hard fought touchdowns.
