Illnnihall The football team of '03 was the most successful that the school has ever had. Although it did not receive the support it should have received, it nevertheless won third place in the Interscholastic League. The teams in the league that defeated Hope were Pawtucket and East Providence. Both of these games were hard fought and the players did not give up until the whistle blew at the call of time. The games outside the league were played with teams not usually considered in the High School class and the boys did well to hold them to the scores that they did. Last June the Athletic Association elected Frank Kenney, captain 5 Ivory Little- field, manager, and Paul Nicholson, assistant manager. Kenney made a fine captain, besides being a steady and reliable player, Littlefield, assisted by Nicholson, managed the team in a very successful manner and deserves great credit for the amount of money cleared at the end of the season. Early in September Kenney called for candidates and a large number responded. At times there was enough material to form two elevens, so that the men never lacked practice. Damon Brown, '05, who acted as coach in a very creditable man- ner, always kept the players hard 4 at work and much of the success J 'f of the team is due to this fact. The team which was Hnally f picked consisted of: Crocroft, Harkness, l. e., Crawford, l. t., ff? Q Allan, l. g., Ross, Clark, c., 44 Salisbury, r. g., Nisbet, Champ- lin, r. t., Darling, Walsh, r. e., Seabury, l. h. b., Kenney, f. b., Packard, McNott, r. h. b. All the players did good as , individual work. Ross, Clark, if I Allan and Salisbury made a i C ' strong centre for the team. if ,I ' Crawford, Nisbet and Champlin, ' ' 23 were fast and aggressive tackles. ' ' ,S M1 N Crocroft, Harkness, Darling and A 19040 Walsh were strong ends, not many plays getting by them. Budlong as quarter-back, ran the team in fine fashion and generally put up a brilliant game. The backfield, taken care of by Seabury, Kenney, Packard and McNott was one of the fastest in the league. Seabury was a good ground gainer and at times punted the ball very well. Packard, although light, was fast and could be depended upon for good gains. Kenney as full-back was a good player and at times put up a star game. At the close of the season the team elected Seabury, '05, as captain for next year's eleven.
