1922 FOOTBALL REVIEXX' The football team of 1922 was an eleven which will not be easily forgotten in the athletic annals of Dummer Academy. The team was victorious in four games, tied another, and was defeated in one game, which, however, it refuses to acknowledge as a defeat. Roger Sherman of Winchester, lVlass., captained the eleven and played a sterling game at quarterback. He was chosen All Essex County Prep School quarter by the Haverhill Gazette as as as Jr as Dummer Academy 19-Beverly Textile School 0 The seventh of October saw the opening of the Academy's football season at South Byfield. The Dum- mer team took the field as follows: Terhune leg Simonds lt, Brock lg, Forsberg c, Sperry rg, Thomas rt, Dalton re, Captain Sherman qb, Osborn lhb, lVlorris rhb, Ferdinand fb. The game was slow owing to the ragged playing of the teams, the wet field and ball. as as as -ir as Dummer Academy 18-Roxbury Latin 6 ln the first game the line had been noticeably Weak in several places. Terhune had been shifted to right end and Judd had taken his place on the left wing. This was a big improvement as Judd proved a star at catching for- ward passes. The center of the line which had been weak in the first game showed a big improvement due especial- ly to Forsberg. as is as as is Dummer Academy 12-Danvers High School 19 October the twenty-first, the Academy was defeated by Danvers High School. The officiating was wholly un- satisfactory, as a result of which, athletic relations be- tween the two schools were severed. is as is as vs Dummer Academy 12-Pinkerton Academy 7 On November 4th, Pinkerton Academy visited South Byfield and was repulsed by the score of I2 to 7. It was the first time in three years that Dummer had triumphed and much celebrating followed the victory. The fast backfield men counted for long gains and the whole line played brilliantly. as an as as as Dummer Academy 7-Country Day School 7 Dummer Academy Went down to Country Day School with dreams of a 25 to 0 victory and came back with a 7 to 7 tie. Although we outrushed our opponents three to one, fumbling, together with overconfidence caused our failure. Dummer fumbled five times and three of these were inside the ten yard line. as -is as -is as Dummer Academy 16-Powder Point 6 The Academy's eleven was never in better trim than when it journeyed down the South Shore to Dux- bury and brought back victory to the tune of sixteen to six. It was the season's final game and the triumph was a fitting climax to the best season the school has had in several years. Like the game with Pinkerton, it was hard fought and the whole team played well.
