Wy, Q The Season THE TRUE STORY of the Hebron Academy football season of 1939 will certainly not be found by looking at the scores. A short schedule found the Hiniury iinx striking before several of the hardest games. Playing only six games, Hebron won three cmd lost three. Mr. Marlette and Mr. Ranft are to be congratulated on their skillful and tireless coaching, which produced a strong, heads-up ball club. Hebron 39-Ricker Classical Institute 0 The Bio Green dropped one into the bag when they iourneyed to Houlton to swamp Ricker by a score of 39-O. The whole squad played well, with Pug Gallant scoring twice. Ferranti, Sawyer, Johns and McKay played smart ball. Hebron 12-Tilton 14 This was a heart-breaking defeat for the Green and Gray, as Tilton came from behind to win. jack Tewhey snared a neat pass from Johns in the second period to score after Alberts of Tilton had caught a long down the alley pass over the line. Johns sparkled again on a sixty-yard runback of a punt to put Hebron out in front. Hebronsubstitutes were protecting the lead when Keough, left end for Tilton, inter- cepted a pass and ran unmolested for a touchdown. Hebron 18-Maine Central Institute 0 Behind beautiful line play and backfield interference, McKay, Nute and ,lohns piled up eighteen points as Hebron crushed Maine Central Institute, to avenge the Q7-O setback of two years ago. Hebron 12-Bowdoin Freshmen 6 The combination of Johns to Tewhey clicked twice as the Lewiston boy scored both touchdowns for the Big Green. ,lim Dolan, Norm Gauvreau, and Harry Twomey, ex-Hebron boys, shone for the Frosh. Hebron 6-Exeter 19 With Wally Sawyer, fullback, unable to play, Hebron was nosed out in the final moments by a great Exeter team. ,lohns to Tewhey to Gallant Hrazzle-dazzle set the stage for Bud lVlcKay's touchdown through center. Howie Johns was awarded the Cantello Trophy for his stellar play throughout the game. Hebron 'I-Kent's Hill 13 Lacking the Hebron Spark against their rivals, and greatly missing .lack Tewhey, the Big Green took the short end of a 'I3-7 score. Pu Gallant led the team with his brilliant runnin , which started to click late in the anal period when he scored Hebron's only toucgfidown. Lou Ferranti played the most sparkling defen- sive game of the year as he knifed in again and again to stop the Kent's Hill backfield cold Fl 128 1 fi ' Htl
