THE ECHO 29 forwards and guards played a good game. Sumner lost this game with a score of 24 to 20. The next game was played with Howard High at West Bridgewater. The girls at Howard were extremely good in their pass work, and in getting the ball on the jump. The Holbrook girls worked very hard the entire game. As it was difficult to get transportation that night, no substitutes were used, and the first team had to play the entire game without resting. This game was won by the Howard girls 47-25. Our return games began on February 8, playing Randolph at Randolph. This game was equally as exciting as the one played at Sumner, and just as much cheering was done by the audience. Sumner girls were defeated by a score of 33 to 31. The girls played very hard, and the both teams alternated making bas- kets. The last two points on the opposing teams could have been omitted had two Sumner girls not fouled, resulting in two free throws. Randolph scored two points ahead. After Randolph’s exciting game, the Sumner girls met with the Pembroke girls on their own floor. Ruth Clooney made 24 points, Esther Williamson 19, and Ann McGaughey 11. Sumner girls played hard to the end. Pembroke’s team had a hard time keeping up with our girls. The guards certainly showed what they really could do in a last game, and let very few balls pass to the opposing team. Sumner girls met with the Kingston girls on their return game February 15, in the afternoon. The first team played 28 minutes of the game, and during the last quarter the second team took their places. The second team consisted of Alice Franklin, Clara Colburn, Mary Eldredge, Barbara Iveson, Beatrice Iveson, and Annella Card. Annella Card showed her ability as a forward, when one of the Kingston girls fouled against her. With the student body clapping and cheering, Annella took her place at the foul line and followed through with a basket, scoring for Sumner. The score was Sumner 55, Kingston 34. With such a good score at the previous game, the Sumner girls had more confidence in themselves when they had to meet with the Howard High girls of West Bridgewater, their last game of the season. Both teams worked hard throughout. The final score of the game was West Bridgewater 26, Sumner 26. FIRST TEAM Esther Williamson Ruth Clooney, Capt.

Ruth Clooney made a score of 13 points, while Esther Williamson had a score of 16 points. Sumner girls lost the game, but there was splendid passing to the end. The second game of the season was played on January 18 at Kingston. The Sumner girls were the winners. Ruth Clooney made 21 points, Esther William- son 21 points, Ann McCaughey 6 points. Having played such a good game on January 18, the girls were ready for their big game of the season with Randolph on January 28. This game was most exciting from the first sound of the whistle to the last basket that was made. Holbrook won with a score of 38 to 27. Esther Williamson was the leader in points, having made 14, while Ruth Clooney made 13, and Ann McCaughey 11. Mary Moran, Martha Morse, and Marie Smith showed good pass work and kept the ball away from the opponents, passing it right over their heads and to Sum- ner’s forwards. There was much cheering from the spectators. With much enthusiasm, the girls were now ready to meet the Alumnae. Some of the former stars of Sumner played in this game, making it somewhat harder for the present girls at Sumner to retrieve the ball, but to the end the

30 THE ECHO BOYS ' BASKETBALL This year we had one of the most successful years in basketball that we have had for many years. The return of one of our old school mates, Robert Potts, who had left in the freshman year was a great help, Vi ithout him we probably should not have won so many games. Billy Townsend, who moved into our school last year, looked good making many long shots that helped to win many of the games. Robert Mullen with his excellent pass work made possible many of the baskets. Jim Mahoney was our center who very seldom missed the jump. Harold Eldridge was a great help making the game a fast one, and whoever fol- lowed him around the floor was always ready for the final whistle. The best shot that was most needed was made by Bob Potts at Kingston when with a few seconds to go he made good a pass given to him by Mullen. Coach Mr. Walsh.

The backfield played fairly well, but with fair cooperation from the line. The tackles were the weak- est point in which the opponents were able to break through too quickly for us to make any headway. Jervey and Cann were the guards and played an excellent game all season, but their difficulty came in trying to block both the guard and the tackle’s position. Albonetty played center, and although he had the disad- vantage of being light, he was an excellent center sending the ball quickly and straight. The team had the advantage of having back one of its old schoolmates, Robert Potts, who proved to be a great asset!
