After the series of inter-class games, candidates came to the fore and prospects looked bright for Fitchburg High School. But alas! bad times were in store. AIan received D’s and thus were unable to play until their marks were raised. But many good ones were left and these started out braveh to do or die, and came out about even. 28

FL s. 16 — Clinton H. S. 0 BASKET-BALL A high school basket-ball team that takes seeoncl plaee among the sehool teams of Massaehusetts must be a pretty good one, to say the least. Fitehburg High Sehool has won this honor ehiefly through the fine work of Capt. Sherwin ’06, and the efforts of Mr. Waters, the coaeh. The onl team Sherwin ’s men eouldn’t eonquer was Holyoke High Sehool and this one unques- tionably holds the ehampionship. A few years ago basket-ball was praetically unknown at the Fitehburg High Sehool, but sinee its debut it has eome to be one of the most interesting of all athletie sports. This year’s season started with a vim, and plenty ' of eandidates appeared for posi- tions, henee it was possible to form a second team among whom the most eonspieuous were Anderson ’04 and Goulding ’04. This team assisted the regulars materially in aequiring their exeellent standard whieh proeured for them so many vietories. 27

After years of experienee the class of ’04 advises future cap- tains to pick the team early and drill the players for a particular ])osition. Continued changing about is not conducive to winning victories. Schofield ’05, Desmond ’07, and Ford ’06, put up a very good game in their respective positions. Roddy ’05 captained the men well and Anderson ’04 looked out for the managing end. GAMES PLAYED. April, 1904: 30, F. H. S. 1 — Lawrence Academy 4 May : 7, F. H. S. 14— Gardner H. S. 11, F. H.
