THE HANOVERIAN 25 ' 'T BOYS' ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The football team, under the competent leadership of Ted Lloyd, finished off a season of thrills by losing a heart-breaker to its newly-found Thanksgiving rival, Stetson High of Randolph. Played in the mud, the game was characteristic of all played by the watch-charm Hanoverians this year. A lot of spirit, a lot of drive, and a lot of rain combined to leave the light- weight team valiantly digging itself out of the mud into which the heavier and more experienced teams had put it. Although the opening game was not very encouraging, the club rounded into a first rate ball team as soon as the latent possibili- ties of triple threat John Urban combined with Captain Lloyd and ex-captain Bud Cobbett manifested themselves. Not overly successful from the point of View of games won, the season was thoroughly enjoyed by all. At the close of the season the boys enjoyed a trip to Boston to see the Bruins play hockey. Next year we look for successs not only in personal enjoyment but in cold facts. Schedule Stoughton 27, Hanover 0: N.

BASKETBALL This year Coach Lovett produced a fine basketball team under Bud Cobbett's leader- ship. With its excellence in passwork and a complete knowledge of basketball funda- mentals, the team enjoyed a successful season. John Urban, Dick Burpee, and Bud Cob- bett combined to make one of the best for- ward lines in the South Shore League. Mel'- ford Butts, a newcomer, greatly added to the height and general excellences of the team. Bob Crothers at the other guard post will be remembered for his sensational long shots. One of the outstanding games of the sea- son was played with Marshfield. Nlarshfield finally won by two points earned in an overtime period. Continued on page 31

BASKETBALL This year the girls walked off with the South Short League award. Losing only one game, the girls glided through the season's schedule with apparent ease, Mary Daukse- vich has the honor of being the highest scorer of the season and captain of the team as well. Many of the games were close in score and the spectators were kept on edge through- out the games. The only game that was lost was with Duxbury, but it was a close game which ended with a score of 31-26, The Nlarshield game looked quite hopeless at the end of the half. The opponents were several points ahead, but in the second half our girls went to town and came home vic- torious. HOCKEY The girls started off the season with J close game which was lost by' one point. This opening defeat was the result of our en- counter with Scituate. However as the season marched on, the Hanover girls were more suc- cessful and they soon took Pembroke 4-l, and later in the season again defeated Pem- broke 2-O. The fastest game of the season was played at Kingston. The entire first half was scoreless, but there was much exercise in running the length of the fields. In the last few minutes of the second half, the goals were made by Hanover, and we came home, victorious. There were very few out for hockey this year, but there was good material in the small number.
