Second row: Helen Kelley, Eleanor Wood, Marieta Regan, Carolyn Jervey, Carol Coulter. Front row: Annie Johnston, captain. Howard High vs. Holbrook The first game of the season with Howard High of West Bridgewater was a set-back for Holbrook. Both teams showed splendid passwork, but Howard showed efficiency in sinking baskets, baffling the Holbrook guards. Holbroook girls had very good passwork all through the game, but Howard won by 35-23. This did not dis- courage Holbrook as they felt they would give them a good return game. Holbrook vs. Foxboro A bad start, but a good ending. This seems to be the way with the girls, but as Foxboro is a much larger and faster team Holbrook showed promising work under their coach. Miss Richardson. Foxboro and Holbrook played a good game, but Foxboro won with a score of 41 to 21. Holbrook vs. Randolph The most exciting game of the season for Holbrook was when they were playing their rivals, the Randolph sextette. It was exciting from start to finish, both teams trying to beat the other. The Holbrook for- wards, Carol Coulter and Annie Johnston, held their own with the Randolph guards, while Eleanor Wood and Helen Kelley, both did excellent work as guards against Randolph’s forwards who were very fast. The game was close all through, but Ran- dolph got ahead with one basket, and the final score was 45 to 47. Holbrook vs. Sharon Holbrook girls came through with their first win against the Sharon girls. The Hol- brook sextette got a good lead in the first half and kept it to the finish with a final score of 20 to 15, this victory giving the Holbrook girls courage so that th ey were ready for a return game. Holbrook vs. Randolph This was the game to which the Holbrook girls were looking forward. It was the l)ctter team of the two as they swam})ed the Randolph girls. The guards of Ran- dolph could do nothing against the on- slaught of Coulter and Johnston as they sank basket after basket. Both the center, Caroline Jervey and side center, Marieta Regan, showed their worth on the team, while Helen Kelly and Eleanor Wood kept the Randolph forwards to nine baskets dur- ing the whole game. The scorer for Ran- dolph was Alice Murphy who did very good work. The final score was 45 to 18. Holbrook vs. Stoughton The Holbrook girls tried to beat the fast team of Stoughton High School but with little success. The Stoughton girls had very good passwork, and the Holbrook girls tried to break it up but with little success. The final score was Holbrook, 18; Stoughton, 38. Holbrook vs. Stoughton The Holbrook girls tried once more in a return game with the Stoughton girls to take the Stoughton girls by storm, but the fast team outdid the Holbrook girls by a score of 57 — 32. The Holbrook girls broke the pass work of the Stoughton sextette, but it wasn’t strong enough to pull through. The high scorer for Stoughton was Laura Clement, and for Holbrook Annie Johnston. Holbrook vs. Howard The Holbrook troop basketeers traveled to West Bridgewater. Rumors were flying around that Holbrook was going to get beat. When the Howard rooters saw our team working out before the game, they quickly changed their minds. In the first and second half Holbrook girls were lead- ing, and they held this lead almost to the finish, but one of our guards was put out on fouls. This gave the Howard girls a “break”. They evened up the score to that of the Holbrook girls and finally won by a score of 37 to 38. Of course, there was plenty of cheering for Howard, but the Holbrook gilds received their share of tlm honor too. Holbrook vs. Sharon This game was played in the afternoon
