THE ECHO 33 Sumner- Sharon at Sharon January 27 we played Sharon. In spite of a hard fight, the Sharon hoopsters won, 32-13. February 1 we played Bridgewater. The game would have made a remarkably good football game; it was almost too rough to be a basketball game. Mr. Walsh put the biggest men on the floor so that they could take care of themselves in a fight. We lost, but it was a great battle while it lasted. The final score was 37-7. Sumner Seconds-Bridgewater Seconds at Bridgewater We did vindicate dear old Sumner’s honor in the second team’s game. MacKay was serving on the second team that night. That was a fairly good fight too. We edged Bridgewater off, 11-9. Sumner-Stetson at Home January 31 we played our old rivals. Stet- son High. One of the best games of the season was played, fast, reasonably clean, and close. We led up to the half, but then Stetson came out and tied us at the end of the third period. They kept coming and in the last few minutes raised the score to Stetson 29-Sumner 22. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM First row: P. Shea, R. Hill, F. Mitchell, K. Porter, K. Walsh. Second row: M. Stonkus, H. Kelly, R. Smith, L. Soderblom. Back row : Miss Richardson, Coach, A. Clooney, G. Behan, G. Kelly, Manager. Sumner vs. Alumnae at Holbrook December 7 The first game of the season was played at Holbrook, and it resulted in a complete victory for Sumner. It was a fast game from start to finish, and we had a very good attendance. Soderblom as guard and Stonkus as forward are two promising be- ginners. Everyone was thoroughly excited when Walsh, one of our best forwards, was forced to come out, but the others carried on, and the final score was 29-23 in favor of Sumner. Sumner vs. Sharon at Holbrook December 9 What a game! Another victory for Sum- ner’s team. Maybe it was the new sweat- shirts. The girls certainly showed the Sharon team some fast work in this game. During the half, it certainly looked bad for Sumner, but after Richy gave the girls “a little talking to,” they showed us what they could do. Basket after basket was sunk by our team until we took the game with the score 23-22. Sumner vs. Bridgewater at Bridgewater January 16 What a game! Besides providing the audience with plenty of excitement, this game gave us much amusement. Ask the girls if Bridgewater isn’t a ‘‘doggy” place. Getting back to the game, owing to the dif- ferent playing conditions, the girls were put to a disadvantage, but they put up a good fight. Up to the third quarter we had a good lead on the other team, but in the last quarter they just crept right up and ahead of us. The game ended with a score of 21-13 in favor of Bridgewater. Sumner vs. Sharon at Sharon January 27 Were we trimmed! Maybe it was the cold weather that slowed the girls up, but Sharon displayed some fast work and some quick thinking, and we just couldn’t catch on. In the first quarter Sumner showed some good guarding. In the second quarter Sharon got a good lead on us, and in the last half they sank basket after basket, but our girls never gave up. The final score was 28-12 in Sharon’s favor. The team was glad to hear that Sharon’s captain was recovering from the serious injury that she received to her knee while playing at Sumner.

Stonkus, R. Colburn, L. Mehl, T. Zarelli. Sumner-St. Paul at Sumner St. PauFs won the second game we played with them, on December 16, 24-16. It was quite a hard-fought game. Sumner-Bridgewater at Sumner Bridgewater swamped us badly in the game we played December 21. Spirida, jumping center, seemed to be doing most of the scoring for Bridgewater. The final score was Bridgewater 50, Sumner 21. Sumner Seconds- Bridgewater Seconds at Sumner Bridgewater’s Second Team beat us out on December 21, to the score of 16-11. Sumner- Alumni at Sumner We won this game, January 6, with the Alumni, with the magnificent score of 2.3- 10. Noel King, at left guard, was an out- standing figure on the Alumni Team. Sumner Seconds-Canton Seconds at Canton We won this game January 10, with a score almost unparalleled in the annals of Sumner’s Basketball Teams — 29-0. Sumner-Canton at Canton We had quite a satisfactory score when we played Canton January 10 — Sumner 25, Canton 10. Sumner Seconds-Canton Seconds at Home We played the return game against Can- ton on January 13 and again beat them easily, this time 25-8. Sumner-Canton at Home We played Canton again on Friday 13. The day must have been unlucky for Can- ton. We won, 20-7. Sumner Seconds-Boston School Seconds at Home Our second team won the game with the Boston School for the Deaf 14-10. Sumner-Boston School at Home We won the game with the Boston School, 29-20. There was plenty of hard playing in this game.
