THE QUILL 31 Going into the game without the services of the last of their three lettermen, joe Fos- ter, the Gardiner lads were scored on almost at will. The third period ended with the Orange and Black trailing on the long end of the score with only 4 points to their credit. At this point joe Foster, although physically unfit, entered the game and was able to add 13 points to his team's score. G. H. S. 16 LAYNRENCE 39 Trying hard to enter the win column the Gardiner boys pushed hard, but had the services of Foster very little and were un- able to stop the onslaught. Carroll Grady came back to the team and helped consid- erably, but was unable to play very long at a time. Earl Gallagher took scoring honors when he scored half of the total points. G. H. S. 16 WINTHROP 44 Winthrop proved far superior, scoring al- most at will to pile up the highest score we had had scored against us all season. Without Foster the team had no scoring threat whatsoever, but Grady and Gallagher dropped the ball through twice and Grady also chalked up a foul shot to go along with a few stray shots here and there. G. H. S. 34 WiLuAMs 40 This game looked like a Gardiner victory with joe Foster's and Earl Gallagher's one- handed angle shots providing for the major- ity of the Orange and Black scores. The Williams boys, however, were not to be slighted and the half ended in a draw, 18 to 18. ln the fourth period the home boys lost their eye and ill luck caught up with them as shot after shot bounced off the rimg on the other hand the Oakland lads looked their best in this canto and scored 8 points from all angles on the floor. Carroll Grady, remaining in the game the full 32 minutes of play, turned in his old steady, cool-headed game at guard. LETTER AWARDS Seniors: joseph Foster, Norman Rogers, Charles Baker, Carroll Grady, Robert Stultz, Carl Gardner, Roscoe Downing, and Manager Roland Whittier.

30 THE QUILL G. H. S. 29 Wu.uAMs 21 In their first game of the season against high school competition, the Orange and Black lads took the lead from the beginning and held it throughout, although sometimes only by one point. Foster was superior, scoring 12 points, with Rogers and Grady right behind him with 7 and 6 points, respectively. G. H. S. 15 CONY Z9 In a game which was played on nearly an even basis in the first period Gony broke loose in the second half to chalk up a 14- point victory. Because of the new ruling the game was a fast one, and soon both teams began to look tired with the result that Cony put in a second team which proved to be as good as their firstg but with Gardiner that was an impossibility, and the new recruits began piling up the score. Foster and Rogers working together clev- erly provei the outstanding Gardiner threats, scoring 13 points between them. G. H. S. 18 HALLOWELL 35 The Gardiner boys were completely out- classed by their Granite Gity rivals in this game. The Hallowell boys' passing and shooting were almost impossible to stop. ln addition Quinn and Ballard seemed to have no trouble at all at tossing the ball in at all angles. with the result that they scored 30 of their team's points. Although the Gardiner boys threatened at no time during the game, Norm Rogers succeeded in scoring 7 points, and Joe Foster tossed the ball through twice. G. H. S. 31 WINTHROP 30 joe Foster lead the Grange and Black boys in this game to a one point margin over the Ramblers from Winthrop when his eye proved up to par as he scored 15 points, many of them difficult long shots. The fans were in complete uproar as the fastest game played in Gardiner's gym this year went into the fourth period with a score of Z1 all. Although Winthrop's cen- ter, Stetson, was able to better Foster by one floor shot, Gardiner's Norm Rogers and Earl Gallagher helped the cause by scoring 15 points between them, and Stan Holt's foul shot completed the scoring as Gardiner went one better than Winthrop to clinch their second win of the year. - G. H. S. 14 CONY 35 In this game Normie Rogers again inf jured his knee, which proved costly to the Orange and Black. Up until the time of the injury, Rogers, working with Foster, had been successful in keeping his team on nearly even basis with their bitter rivals from the Capital City, but on his departure the Red and White started a bombardment of baskets. When the half ended, the Gony lads had scored twice as many points as had the Gardiner boys. After this game was over it was learned that Rogers would be unable to play the rest of the year. Already Carroll Grady had been lost and now with the loss of an- other of their three lettermen the Gardiner boys were to be at the mercy of the strong teams which they had yet to come up against. G. H. S. Z3 LAVVRENCE 35 The Gardiner boys looked bad from the start and all during the first half the home boys were completely outclassed. Lassalle proved the main sparkplug on the Gardiner offense, scoring 10 points, while Bob Stultz looked good at Grady's position. G. H. S. 17 HALLOWELL 35

Carroll Newhouse and Art Lassalle scored all their team's points except for one foul shot by Donald Gould. Again Rice and Downing led the seniors, but they were unable to overcome the lead the juniors piled up in the first period.

The material which he has to work with is promising, with three letter- men to build his team around. The veter- ans are Stan Smith, Roland Whittier, and Bob Newhouse. All together Coach Arthur will have some Z5 boys to work with, the most promising being Carroll Newhouse, Larry Creamer, and Bob Stultz.

The veterans were Ernie Dionne, Louis Bryant, Alpheus Dodge, Stan Shea, Gene Monroe, Don Gould, and Art Benner. Others who made up the 1938 squad were Howard Cusick, James Shea, Kenneth Man- sir, James Gingrow, Edward Canty, Wil' liam Sullivan, Wilfred Carter, Herbert Strout, and Rodney Wing. G. H. S. 2 Com 8 The Gardiner boys seemed to be no match for their Capital City rivals after the first period in this game played on Williams field rink. Although the first period was played on nearly even terms, Cony peppered the Garf diner goal in the last two periods and com- pletely outclassed our boys. Dionne and Bryant, who had fought side by side in the football line, were outstanding for the Gar- diner sextet. G. H. S. O W1LroN 7 against the Wilton six, was completely at the mercy of the Wilton lads except for the brilliant stops of goalie Wilfred Carter. After Wilton had piled up a score of 4 points, Coach Hinds sent in the freshman line, Jimmy Gingrow, Eddie Canty, and Roddy Wing, who played equally as well as the first-string line. G. H. S. 1 WILTON 5 The Wilton team went to work in the final period of this game to score five goals after being held scoreless for two periods by our six scrappy ice-birds. The Gardiner defensive stood out in this game especially in the iirst two periods when they stopped the Wilton line time and time again. Carter, brilliant freshman goalie,
