Pawtucket, our old rival, was decisively beaten this year. Although the game was on their home grounds, we trimmed them up in fine style, and Went home victors by a 16-0 score. The Cranston game, also played away from home, proved easy for us, as this team was given a 17-0 beating. Then came the championship game with Technical. This team, like Hope, had not been beaten in any league game, and the contest promised to be a fine one. In the first half, Hope had things all in her favor but was unable to score. In the second half, however, some hard luck, combined with a lucky drop-kick from Bunny Rodger's toe, served to beat us, and Technical came out conquerors, 3-0. The team won six games, tied two and lost two. Captain McBee, Brereton and Parson were the stars of the season, while Brice proved to be a good goal-kicker. 1' Curt Chase was elected captain for next year. The team owes its sincere thanks to Mr. McBee for a football dinner at the end of the season. - The scores follow: Hope 6 Milford c Hope 6 St. George Hope 0 Morris Heights Hope 5 B. M. C.

Mgr.j BRICE BURWELL MCBEE CCapt.J BRERETON Cnoss V VVILSON O'r1s WATERMAN MILLER CHASE Football E The football team of 1910, although it failed to bring another pennant to Hope, made a very creditable showing, considering the difficulties which were encountered. On account of injuries, we were deprived of the services of Waterman and Burbank before the league schedule started. Great credit is due to Coach Kerissey and Captain McBee for the able way in which they handled the team. We started- our season by defeating Milford, a strong team from Massachusetts. Although Hope only scored one touchdown, we easily demonstrated our superiority over the visitors. On the following Saturday, the team journeyed to Newport and beat St. George by a 6-0 score. Our next game was with Morris Heights, and although the latter was rumored to have the strongest team in Rhode Island, they were unable to score on Hope. iVe also played a tie game with B. M. C. Durfee High School, of Fall River, the score being 5-5. Our first defeat came at the hands of Moses Brown, when this team beat us 10-0. We opened our league season with Woonsocket, whom we had little trouble in beating 12-0. Classical was the next victim, going down to defeat by a 17-O score. 14

The indoor season opened badly as Hope lost the Pawtucket Y. M. C. A. Meet to Pawtucket High on a protested decision of the referee and the relay team composed of Guild, Waterman, Cross, and Captain Otis, was only able to land third place at the interscholastic relay championship at the state armory. Less than a month later, however, the team showed its real form, when by winning the Providence Y. M. C. A. Meet it added another cup to Hope's collection. After a short preliminary practice, we opened the out-door season promisingly by winning the cup offered as the trophy for a triangular meet arranged by Manager Cross with Moses Brown and Classical. Then came the inter-class meet which the Juniors won easily as was expected. A week later the team went down to defeat at Kingston at the hands of Technical, 55 to 48. The next Saturday came the Rhode Island Inter- scholastic League Meet and the struggle for the pennant. Several of the Hope men were 1 16
