BURWELL NTACLEOD PARSON BALLOU ' WATERMAN CORP O'rrs CCapt.J Cnoss QMgr.j GUILD ' Track While the track team of 1910 was the best that Hope has turned out in recent years, it failed to win the pennant and so did not come up to the high standard set by the baseball and football teams of the year. 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

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.
