The football team of '02 showed a very marked improvement over its predecessors, although the outlook in September was not so good as it might have been. The team was very much lighter than any of its opponents, but the spirit and determination with which the games were played usually called forth admiration from the specta- tors and won the respect of our adversaries. At the beginning of the season the Ath- letic Association unanimously elected George Patterson manager, with Carl Weeks an able assistant. Littlefield was captain, elected to that office by the '01 eleven, and the team owes much of its success to his commendable work. Manager Patterson ar- ranged an excellent schedule of ten games, four of which were played on East Side grounds, three at Adelaide Park, and three out of town. The management is certain- ly to be congratulated on securing Murray Cann, Brown '02, as a coach, who worked hard and faithfully for the success of the eleven, so inspiring the men by his Get in there, or I'll throw you in and other appropriate remarks, that they did very credit- able work. A squad of twenty-two men responded to Captain LittleHeld's call for candidates, and after two weeks of hard practice, an eleven was picked as follows: McKenna, l. e. 5 Crawford, l. t. 5 Vlleeks, l. g. 5 Carroll, c.5 Paddock, r. g. 5 Tingley, r. t.5 Grimes, Packard, r. e.5 Budlong, q. b. 5 Seabury, Hebden, l. h. b.5 Kenney, f. b.5 Littlefield, r. h. b. The games from the first were played well. If a game was won, Hope always de- served the victory5 and if lost, it was never without a hard fight first. Some games show up well in comparison with those of former years. Friends School did not suc- ceed in scoring against us as in all previous contests she had done, while Rogers High,

of Newport, was held to a final score of O-0. It may be noticed also that, with the ex- ception of Pawtucket, Hope was the only team to hold the East Providence farmers for downs. The team of 1902, although rather light, was very strong. Weeks, Carroll, and Paddock were a very strong centre trio, While Crawford and Tingley made a pair of aggressive tackles. Grimes, McKenna, and Packard were as speedy and sure ends as could be found in the league. Budlong at quarter-back played a heady and consistent game throughout the season, and, aside from his occasional fumbles, Was a great ad- dition to the team. Seabury, Littlefield, and Kenney completed the squad. Seabury was a fast man and usually made very good runs. Littlefield was steady and could al- ways be depended on for a good gain, While Kenney's line bucking was often very sen- sational. McKenna was unfortunate in being injured in practice at the latter part of the season, and in losing him Hope lost a very good player. Littlefield filled his office of captain as well as he did his position on the squad. He managed the team with good sense and discipline, producing and maintaining a spirited eleven. Patterson was an excellent manager and deserves much credit for the time and trouble given to the school in the fulfilment of his position. The schedule and results were: OCTOBER NOVEMBER Hope.
