20 THE ECHO BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Top Row: William Stodder, Stanley White, Allan MacKinlay. Harold Walsh Second Row: William Dana, John Sullivan, Wallace Hancock, Emory Mann. Myron Holbrook Sumner 15 — Nor well 30 This game played at Norwell showed de- cidedly the results of playing in an un- familiar gymnasium. The Norwell floor is the smallest court we are obliged to play in. After playing and practising on our fairly good sized floor, it seemed that we were hardly able to breathe at Norwell. The Norwell team, naturally used to their own floor, tossed the ball in without hardly moving. Because of the small floor a great deal of shooting was done on both sides. Many S. H. S. shots missed that were ex- citingly close. Dana and Batchelder were high scorers for S. H. S., Cavanaugh for Norwell. Sumner 7 — Randolph 26 The last game of the scheduled encount- ers was played on Randolph’s home floor. This gym like Norwell’s is rather small after our large one. Randolph had several fast players who seemed to be everywhere at once. Near the end of the game several S. H. S. sophomores and freshmen were put in the game. They showed up rather well under fire and hinted that next sea- son Sumner would have a winning com- bination. The game ended with the score standing Sumner 7, Randolph 26. Han- cock was high scorer for S. H. S., Cushing for Randolph. Sumner 12 — Boston School for Deaf 26 A post-season game not on the schedule was that played with the Boston School for the Deaf of Randolph. This game was played on our home floor before a fairly good crowd. Malinski of the Randolph School was the star of the game. There seemed to be no place on the floor from which he could not drop the ball into the basket. Final score, Sumner 12, Boston School for the Deaf 26. Batchelder was high scorer for S. H. S., Malinski for Bos- ton School for Deaf. J. Allan MacKinlay, ’30. Athletic Editor. Sumner 9 — Sharon 18 At Sharon we visited the best gym in our circuit of games. Because of Sharon’s lack of Hagan, their star guard, S. H. S. was able to end the game with a less op- posing score than that of the game played on their home floor. The lack of Hagan showed he was Sharon’s backbone. At this game it seemed impossible to get our team to clock properly although the fast guard- ing of Hancock prevented Sharon’s score from becoming large. The size of the gym may have been some handicap as it was bigger than ours, and all others on our circuit are smaller. Final score, Sumner 9, Sharon 18. Batchelder high scorer for S. H. S., Roach for Sharon. Mother: “Who taught you that wicked word ? ” Allan: “Santa Claus.” Mother: “Santa Claus?” Allan: “Yep, when he tripped over my bed Christmas morning.” Traffic Cop: (angrily) “Do you know any- thing about traffic rules?” Miss Collins: (sweetly) “What is it you wish to know?” Penny: “You’re going to drive me out of my mind!” Allan: “That’s no drive! That’s a putt!” Miss Murphy: (to the orchestra) “We will now play ‘The Stars and Stripes Forever’.” W. Hutchinson. “Good night! I just got through playing that!” First Freshman: “I wonder why Verna Thomas is so good-natured?” Second Ditto: “Probably because it takes ro long for her to get mad clear tl rough.”
