THE FOOTBALL TEAM, Hi! Ro! Kee! Hi! Ro! Kee! Boomeraka ! Boomeraka ! Who are we ? First in the rush line, First in the tackle, First in the hearts of the Fitchburg people. N ever in the annals of this school was any cr} ' given oftener after a football victory than the one above during the football season of ’97. Never in the history of this school has a football team been placed on the gridiron that was so successful in winning victories as the one which represented the F. H. S. last sea- son. Of nine games played, eight were overwhelming victories for us, and the other was not lost by poor playing. It was lost simply because the game was played about dusk, it consequently being almost impossible to see the ball. Although it may be true that Fitchburg lost because the Senti- nel reporter was not present, they would undoubtedly have won had they received a fair show. Any wav, the season is over, and as will be seen from the fol- lowing scores, some of the best teams in the state have been defeated. Out of the full team, ten of the men were of ’98, and this shows again how this class was at the head of everything. C. A. Kendall, who was captain, commanded the respect of every player, and great credit is due him for the fine manner in which the team conducted itself both on and off the field. Every man in the team played excellent ball dur- ing all the games, but the follow- ing men deserve the most credit : Cross, Hassett, Sheehan, Worster and Prescott. Below is the full team and the positions each played : Thomas Hassett Left End. Perrv Wilson Left Tackle. James Johnson Left Guard. H. M. Parks Centre. Charles Prescott Right Guard. T. J. Sheehan Right Tackle. W. E. Hayes Right End. C. A. Kendall Quarter Back. W. S. Cross Left Half Back. C. E. Worster Right Half Back. C. H. Lamb Full Back. GAMES. Se pt. 18, F. H. S. 4 Leominster H.
