Football I HE seavson of 1900 opened with considerable experienced mate- rial to utilize. Accordingly, a team was put in the field, with eight vet- erans trying for various positions. Among the new men, one who gave great promise of being a star center was a little Freshman, with his 265 pounds avoirdupois — Con- nors of West Fitchburg. Upon his addition to the team, Dillon ceased to excite comment. However, sick- ness deprived the team of this prom- ising player. Carey, ’00, was chosen to captain the team, and Walsh, ’03, to manage it. James Hogan again coached the team and repeated his crack work of the previous year. After the game with Cushing, who found weak spots all over the team, the eleven settled down to work, and a marked improvement was noticed. About the middle of the season Mr. Hitchcock informed the team that it must cancel its games until the marks should be raised. This they proceeded to do, and raised L. E. L. T. L. G. C. R ' aii. Fisher. Dillon. Walsh. them in time to play the closing game of the season, which was la- belled defeat. The inference which may be drawn should be of great value to the next team. While playing, Ryan was the star, but others deserving special mention are “Chick” Kendall, Hardy and Barker. There are very bright prospects for a good team the coming year, as eight of the old eleven will remain, though it will lose immeasurably by the absence of Ryan, Fisher, and Kendall. But with Mr. Hogan as coach there is a probability that strong men may be developed to cover their points. The schedule below does not show the excellent work which the team did, for it almost invariably played teams that were much heavier. Following are the schedule and players : F. H. S. 0, C. A. 36. F.
