Exeter, o . . . . Rochester, 27 Early last September before the opening of school, Mr. Knox, the new coach, issued his first call for football candidates and was greeted by a very inexperienced bunch of eager-to- learn football lovers. The first weeks were devoted to conditioning and revealed few finds Finally, of the forty-odd fellows who reported, three teams were formed and signal practice began. The first game proved to be a jinx as a promising star was lost for the entire season with a broken knee. This demoralized the team somewhat, which lost three straight games hy considerable margins. We succeeded in breaking our ill luck and defeated a good Berwick Academy team. We lost a close one to a highly favored Portsmouth High team and the following week we were overpowered by a heavy Phillips Exeter Academy Second team. Our season ended Armistice Day when we were defeated by Rochester High. ln the first campaign under the leadership of Coach George C. Knox, with the assistance of Leonard Lefty Nelson, the boys learned teamwork and gained valuable experience for future years. Closing the resume, the class and senior members of the 1937 squad wish Coach Knox and his gridiron cohorts much good luck and many victories. We also hope that there will be a, large delegation of fellow students and townspeople present at each game ready to urge the boys on to victory. Best wishes to Captain-elect joseph Petroski and his 1938 team! High school students are exceedingly glad to learn that through the eiorts of many townspeople a sum was appropriated at the last school meeting to improve their athletic field, badly in need of repair.

Somersworth, 31 CEditor's Note: Captain Francis Red Walsh received a berth on the New Hampshire All-State Class A Basketball Team, the first Exeter High athlete to receive such an honor.l Thirty-two candidates answered Coach Knox's early December call for Basketball candidates. After four weeks of steady practice a team of unknown quality, for there were only two regulars from last year's squad, was ready to be tested against the Alumni. Emerg- ing victorious from our first encounter, 4o-19, we went through one of the best seasons in Exeter High's Basketball history, winning ten out of twelve games. So successful was our season that we were the first Exeter High team to be invited to compete in the annual Inter-scholastic Basketball tournament at the state university, held this year, February 25 and 26. After defeating Nashua 29-18 in the preliminaries, we lost to Keene 40-27 in the semi-finals. Although Coach Knox's tirst E. H. S. Basketball team made a fine showing, we hope to see next year's team, guided by Captain-elect Henry Jackie Mazalewski, state champions. CAPTAIN FRANCIS WALSH. BASKETBALL SECONDS Of the thirty-two candidates for the 1938 basketball team, seventeen survived the final cut. Ten of these were kept to play on the Second Team. To play on the Second Team of 1938 was no disgrace. One had the opportunity to play with one of the best teams in the state. Three of the team were picked to travel with the Varsity to the out-of-town games, and to the tournament at Durham. The boys of the Second Team did not make such a bad showing, although they did lose three games. Two games were lost to Epping High School, and one to Somersworth High School Seconds in an over-time period. They won games from Somersworth Seconds in return game, the Kingston Tigers. the Plaistow Flashes and Raymond High School. I am sure that the boys who come up from this year's Second Team to play on next year's first string will be able to hold their own with the old and battle scarred players that will be left after this year's graduation. JOHN W. MCNULTY, Captain. 23
