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.

ihnrkrg 1 Last year Brown University offered a hockey cup to be competed for by the pre- paratory schools of Rhode Island. The same plan was carried out this year although fewer schools entered into the contest. As the close of the season drew near, it was seen that there were three teams tied for first place. Before this tie could be played off, the ice melted thus preventing the cup from being awarded. On the ice this year, as in former years, Hope Street showed tha.t she could hold her own with any of the other schools. The hockey team was a credit to the school being tied with Manual and Classical for first place in the Brown Interscholastic Hockey League. From last yearls championship team there '5 F remained three men, but these with the addition of men picked from the large number of candidates, formed a strong team. The men who played on the team were W. N isbet, Bullock, goal, L. N isbet, Clark, point, Kenney Ccaptj cover point, Harkness, Church, forward, Ross, forward, W. Budlong, forward, F. Budlong, forward. All the players did good work throughout the season. W. Nisbet and Bullock were both good goal tenders as is seen by the small number of goals scored against them. L. Nisbet and Clark filled the position of point in a very satisfactory manner, and often saved the team from 'FSMSQI being scored against. Kenney, 11' as captain and cover point, was a strong player and the men of the opposing team usually kept out of his way. Although Harkness and Church were both new men, they played a good game and could always be depended upon. W. Budlong although not an especially fast skater, could juggle the puck in a wonderful manner and often scored goals unaided. F. Budlong made a fast forward and could shoot the puck with great speed. At the close of the season the team elected Walter Budlong captain for next year. Following are the scores for the season: 1 Hope, 0, Manual, 0. Hope, 6, English, O. Hope, 0, Classical, 1. Hope, 1, Manual, 0. Hope, 1, Woonsocket, 0. Hope, 1, Manual, 2.
