26 THE HANOVERIAN VARSITY CLUB Boys' Ati116t1CS Basketball Champions of South Shore Leagucu The 1936-37 bask-etball season was a good one for Hanover High School. Cap- tain Josselyn led the team in every game and was outstanding during the whole season. Members of the squad were: Darling, Downes, Cobbett, Crothers, Jan- sen, Josselyn, Savini, Stewart, Simmons, Thrasher, Whiting, Gardner QManagerJ, Willis CAssistant Managerj. Coach Redmond had some workable material, and he used it to good advantage. At the beginning of the year, Pembrokels announcement that they were out for Han- over's scalp rather riled the boys. Hanover gradually worked up a fever by beating all the league contenders that they had met, but they lost two games. When they met Pembroke they had barely defeated Scituate and Marshfield on their own courtsg and, therefore, they were slightly fearful of Pembrokels team. That night Hanover played one of the best games that the people of Hanover have seen for a long timeg and one of Pembroke's best players complained to his teammates, We looked like a bunch of dubs. After Pembr0ke's defeat, Hanover had clear sailing until they met Rockland at Rockland. This was a great game even though Hanover lost, and it was certainly worth watching. Then came disaster. In the Marshfield game Bob Stewart broke his army and Hanover's best played in such a daze after that, that Marshfield won by a narrow margin. Trouble for Coach Redmond, but everybody pulled together and our depend- able Downes came through with the goods. Hanover sailed free until they met Pem- broke. The boys were fearful that they should let the disabled Stewart downg and they played frantically until they beat Pembroke in another very decisive victory, thereby becoming champions of the South Shore League. The next night Hanover's tired warriors met Rockland and far outplayed them in the first half, but in the second period the previous evening's game took its tollg and the Rockland team forged ahead to victory. In the whole season there were many stars, but of them all, one of the best is the man who sat on the bench and hoped for the team's success: Coach Redmond.

Bridgewater Hanover Mar. 3 QLH Pembroke Hanover 4 Rockland Hanover Football person knows what happened to the team to make them act as they did in the Fox- boro game, but we don't. It is sufficient to say that Scituate later defeated Foxboro. On a crisp windy day the football team traveled to Middleboro to play a team re- ported as somewhat light. Middleboro was anything but that and certainly handed Hanover a fine trouncing. Middleboro had cleverness and speed besides weight and surely played a great game because our boys pulled off more than a few ground- gaining plays. For Hanover to lose the Marshfield game seemed impossible as one watched the two teams play in a terrible downpour of rain. Hanover outplayed, outpassed, and outran Marshfield but to no avail, and the score was 6-0 in favor of Marshfield. This year the football team won only one game, tied one, and narrowly missed a better showing in three other games. The captain of the team and the season's most outstanding player was Gordon Thrasher, who was leader of the offense and a stonewall on the defense. Members of the team included: S. Cobbett, C. Ellis, Jr., H. Hansen, C. Josselyn, J. Hanberry, E. Hill, E. Lloyd, C. O'Hara, O. Rome, W. Rudokas, J. Ruginski, W. Sides, A. Sim- mons, G. Thrasher, T. Tribul, A. Whiting, R. Willis, D. Wood fMgr.J, T. Kairis CAs- sist. Mgr.J, J. Quinn. Against Randolph, Hanover played a good game but lost because of momentary mental relapses on the part of the boys. Opposing North Easton, Hanover played a great game, and although they didn't win, the team can say they didn't lose. Whit- man brought over a heavy team, but Han- over whittled them down to size, and two of Whitman's three touchdowns were in- direct results of that much disputed pass interference rule. At the time of the Scituate game the Hanover boys were about fed up and certainly went to town by having a field day with the Scituate team as the goat.

We certainly hope that one of our three- letter athletes, Bob Stewart, will be able to pitch this year. His pitching arm was broken in the second Marshfield basket- ball game, but it,is healing rapidly. There is a large squad out this year, and due to the excellent support of Hanover citizens and the pupils' active participa- tion in the student ticket, the team has been very well equipped. Hanover will have stiff competition this year, and if Coach Redmond produces a winning team, he will certainly be doing a great job.
