16 THE ECHO Feb. 7 Sharon Feb. 14 West Bridgewater Mar. 4 Sharon Mar. 11 Norwell Mar. 14 Randolph Games away from home. S. H. S. vs Norvvell Jan. 3 The first basketball game of the season was played at Holbrook with Norwell as the opposing team. Sumner High School Girls showed Norwell that they wouldn’t have all the honors this year. With snappy forwards like L. Regan, A. McCarthy, and D. Brown the Norwell girls found it hard to get a chance to sink many baskets. The teamwork displayed by both teams was ex- cellent, but Sumner High girls showed their ability over the Norwell girls when it came to scoring. The final score was 19-8. Miss Ladd, Referee. S. H. S. vs. Alumni Jan. 10 On January 10, a great game was played in the high school gym. The Alumni against Sumner High. This game was a most thrilling game in which last years’ players with the help of Grace McCarthy, former B. U. star suffered a bad defeat. The score was 40-18. Sumner High Girls were sink- ing baskets left and right, and at the end of the first half S. H. S. was 26 and Alumni 4. In the second half A. McCarthy went on the Alumni side and then the Alumni scored a little, but not enough to meet the final score of S. H. S. 40-18. Referee, Miss Richardson. S. H. S. vs. East Bridgewater Sumner High girls met their first defeat of the year at East Bridgewater. The East Bridgewater girls won by a margin of two. This game was played on a gym floor which was two-thirds the size of our gym floor. At the end of the first half A. McCarthy for S. H. S. and Nucartic for East Bridgewater seemed to be the shin- ing stars, but it can not be left unsaid that the teams did not show perfect pass work and cooperation. The second half brought into the limelight the other two forwards, M. Regan and Gonsalves, of S. H. S. and East Bridgewater, respectively. The final score was 18-20 in favor of East Bridge- water. Referee, Miss Ladd. S. H. S. vs. St. Mary’s High Tuesday, January 21, the Sumner High School Girls travelled to Taunton where they played a game very different from their usual procedure. In this game they played boys rules, and others besides the forwards on Sumner’s team showed that they were capable of making baskets, as well. For St. Mary’s only the forwards seemed to be able to make baskets. The scorers for S. H. S. were E. Johnson, M. Regan, D. Brown and A. McCarthy; while G. O’Connor and M. Russell of St. Mary’s were the stars for the losers. The final score was 26-7 in favor of S. H. S. S. H. S. vs. West Bridgewater Friday, January 24, West Bridgewater came down off her perch and gave in to the team which they found so easy to beat last year. Sumner High girls showed their skill in the game with their passwork and teamwork. As well as having several alert forwards, we have two very dependable guards, E. Johnson and A. Johnston who have proved their worth on the team. In this game Brownie and Regan were the highlights for Sumner, and Washburn and Roscoe, for West Bridgewater. The final score was 28-16 in favor of Sumner High School. S. H. S. vs. Stetson High January 31, Stetson High Girls tasted defeat at the hands of their rivals S. H. S. There has been a great deal of rivalry be- tween Stetson High and Sumner High in the line of athletics, and as both teams have a fairly good standing in basket ball, it meant quite a lot for S. H. S. to pile up this victory on Stetson. The Brown- McCarthy team in the second half for Sumner High worked as well as the Brown- Regan team in the first half. For Stetson, White and Drummond, speedy forwards, caged the baskets for the losers. Final score was 16-11. Referee Donnelly. C. Callahan, ’30 Athletic Editor. BASKETBALL Sumner 13 — Norwell 29 The first game of the S. H. S. Basketball Season was played on Sumner’s home floor. Norwell showed they did not fear our team as they started the game with their second string men, but they were forced to put in their first team. S. H. S. put up a hard fight, but as there was no scientific play, Norwell beat us to the tune of 29-13. Waters and Dana were high scorers for S. H. S., Flett for Norwell. Sumner 6 — St. Mary’s 44 The second game of the season, also played on the home floor, showed S. II. S. highly outclassed by a great deal superior outfit. The striking team play of St. Mary’s School of Taunton proved too much for the unorganized playing of our own team. Waters was the only scorer for S. H. S. and Corcoran was high scorer for St. Mary’s. Sumner 14 — E. Bridgewater 36 Game number three, played with East Bridgewater, was the first away game of the season. This game, as those previously played, was a flop in the minds of the S. IT. S. aspirants. One event that produced a spark of new hope was that of having a new coach who took command on the day of this defeat. This game, as well as the others, showed that team play is neces- sary for scoring. The S. H. S. fought a hard game, always on the short end of the score, which ended S. H. S. 14, East Bridge- water 36. Tierney was high scorer for S. H. S., Feeney for East Bridgewater.

18 THE ECHO GIRL’S BASKETBALL TEAM Row 1, left to right: Anna McCarthy, Edith Shipley, Penelope Hutchinson (Captain), Lorine Regan, Helen Kelly. Row 2: Anne Johnston, Dorothy Brown, Marieta Regan, Alice Sullivan. Row 3: Eleanor Wood, Carlyn Jervey, Edith Johnson, Miss Louise Richardson (Coach). Sumner 10 — St. Mary’s 63 This game was a repetition of the first defeat suffered at the hands of St. Mary’s, except that it was worse, due to the game being played at the Taunton Boys’ Club, the home floor of the St. Mary’s High out- fit. The S. H. S. outfit struggled valiently but without reward. The final score, S. H. S. 10, St. Mary’s 63, taught Sumner not to again venture out of its class. Waters and Stodder shared scoring honors for S. H. S., and O’Donnoll for St. Mary’s. Sumner 12 — W. Bridgewater 30 The game played at W. Bridgewater showed that the coaching of Mr. Jack Walsh was very slowly taking effect. Seme semblance of team work was noticed in this. This game proved a case of over con- fidence as the S. H. S. team thought that W. Bridgewater would be an easy mark due to the fact that W. Bridgewater had won no games, but once again our team was forced to taste defeat rather bitterly. Final score S. H. S. 12, W. Bridgewater 30. Tierney was high scorer for S. H. S., F.anton for W. Bridgewater. Sumner 18 — W. Bridgewater 18 This game, played on our home floor, came the nearest of any game of the sea- son to being a win. This game was so closely played that it was necessary to play an overtime period to break a tie score. With the game over but a foul shot to be tried for, an S. H. S. player tossed the ball in for the point necessary to tie the game. Because of this deadlock a three minute overtime period was played. As the ref- eree’s whistle blew for the end of the per- iod. a W. Bridgewater player tossed the ball in for another defeat for the Blue and White. Final score, Sumner 18, W. Bridge- water 20. MacKinlay was high scorer for S. H. S., Bisbee for W. Bridgewater. Sumner 13 — Stetson 28 In this game the old rivals, Sumner High of Holbrook and Stetson High of Randolph, met for the first time on a basketball court. The coaching of Mr. Walsh had by this time taken noticeable effect on the playing of the team. The ball was continually worked down to the basket, but it seemed that the ball could not be forced in. If half the shots taken by our team had gone in the basket, S. H. S. would not have landed on the short end of the 28-13 score. Waters was high scorer for S. H. S., Nugent for Randolph. Sumner 7 — E. Bridgewater 26 In this game played on the home floor, S. H. S. took a slump, not even getting their score out of the single digits. Al- though the score was not anywhere near even, the team play of the S. H. S. squad was becoming more pronounced. Much credit is to be given E. Bridgewater’s cap- tain, Pittsley, in his fine defensive game. Final score, Sumner 7, E. Bridgewater 26. Dana was high scorer for S. H. S., Bird for E. Bridgewater. Sumner 10 — Sharon 26 This game with Sharon on our home floor showed us the best scholastic guard that had ever played on that floor. Hagen of Sharon was, although not scoring an astounding number of points, the backbone of his team. S. H. S. played a good offen- sive game, but, as in previous games, many close shots failed to be counters. S. H. S. was not so good on the offense due to Hagen’s marvelous playing. The game ended with the score Sumner 10 — Sharon 26. Waters and MacKinlay were high scorers for S. H. S., Stratton for Sharon. Customer: “Do you carry B-eliminators?” H. Wiggins: “No, sir, but we have roach powder and some fly swatters.”
