EAST BRIDGEWATER The last game of Sumner’s basketball season was played in our own gym. This game, like the rest of the home games, was fairly well attended. This end-of-the-sea- son game was a credit to S. H. S. Al- though East Bridgewater won the game by a fairly large margin, there were several times when it looked very much as if the S. H. S. would jump into the lead, showing that they have been growing in basketball intelligence and adeptness. The S. H. S. boys played the best game of their 1929 season. The passing of the home team was very much in advance of any that they had previously done. Morey and Pillsley worked hard and well for East Bridgewater while the whole of S. H. S. worked their heads off playing a fine game. S. H. S. noted the absence of Waters who was con- valescing from a recent illness and was not allowed to play the entire game. Personnel and Points: Dalton, 12; Sears, 4; McKinley, 4. Referee — Roberts. Final Score — E. Bridgewater 44. SUMNER-NORWELL AT HOLBROOK The second game of the season was played in S. H. S. gym with Norwell. Af- ter a fast game the Norwell boys won out by a fairly safe margin, but nevertheless, they had to work hard for every point they got. Even though S. H. S. suffered a con- siderable setback from West Bridgewater, the game was well attended showing that school spirit was and is not entirely lack- ing. Filett and Brown starred for Nor- well, while Dalton and Sears put in their usual good work for S. H. S. Personnel and Points: Sears, 3; Dalton, 2; McKinley, 2; Waters, 2. Referee — Roberts. Final Score — Norwell 22, Sumner 9. SUMNER-WEST BRIDGEWATER AT HOLBROOK The first game of Sumner’s basketball season was played at home in our spick and span gym with West Bridgewater as op- ponents. A goodly sized crowd turned out to see whether Sumner had a good team or not. Those who had expectations of see- ing S. H. S. win were disappointed, but the game was enjoyed by everyone. Although S. H. S. acquired only two points, some real speedy playing was seen during the game. Sears and Dalton, forwards did well on the offense but did not have sufficient backing to get the ball through West Bridgewater’s defense. Crowley, six-foot- six center and captain of West Bridge- water, starred for his team Personnel and points: Sears, 2; Dalton, Tierney, Hutchinson, Sanger, McKinley, Hooker, Hancock, and Smith. Referee — Roberts. Final Score — West Bridgewater 27, Sum- ner 2. S. H. S. VS. CLASS OF ’28 Three basketball games were played be- tween the S. H. S. team and the class of ’28. All the games were played in the school gym. As they were hardly more than practice games, there were scanty au- diences, the games not being advertised. In the first game Sears, Dalton, Waters, Smith, White, and Tierney played against Callahan, Reckards, Jardine, R. White, Howard, and Therrien. Dalton starred for S. H. S. scoring twenty-four points. The final score was S. H. S. 58; Class ’28, 8. In the second and third games the lineups were practically the same as the first game. The scores were: second game, S. H. S. 41; ’28. 8; third game, S. H. S. 47; Class of ’28, 8. For the entire three games the services of McCarthy, referee, were given without charge.

S.-AVON (TWO GAMES) The next two games of the season were not really tests of the skill of the S. H. S. team as in both games Avon only had a smattering of her regular team. About all either of the games offered for Sumner was practice in batting and base running. Early in both games the third team was substi- tuted for the first string players.

S.-NORWELL The game with Norwell on May 14 at the home grounds was the first game of the ’29 season that pretended to be a con- test of skill. Although before the game was over, it started to rain, it was a snappy contest from the beginning to the end. The best hit of the game was a three bagger knocked by Sharp of Norwell. All the two baggers, copped by S. H. S., were made by Joyce, Waters and Sears. Ahern for S. H. S. struck out seven and allowed five bases on balls. Roman for Norwell struck out one and allowed five bases on balls. Only one man was hit by a pitcher. Roman, the Norwell pitcher, picked the smallest man on the S. H. S. team for his target. Of course, the smallest is none other than Batchelder, our short stop. Final score ! Norwell 3 S. H.
