September 1942 A December 1942 TRACKMEN COP - SECOND PLACE HOPE TEAM DOES WELL UNDER COACH PETORELLA Under the direction of Coach Ed Petorella the indoor track team placed second in the state meet. In the 40-yard dash Mabray took' second. In the 300-yard run, Huntley was just barely edged out by Ban- non of La Salle. Bud Black very handily won the 600. His finish was very unusual, for instead of crossing the tape on his feet, he fell down and slid in. Jim Rob- ertson placed third in the lO0O, his performance be- ing under par because of the bad weather. In the relay, Hope won easily from La Salle after a bad start by the latter team, because of which the race had to be run over again. On the All-Rhode Island Indoor Track team picked by the Providence Journal, Hope placed three men. On the first team the following secured po- sitions: Johnson, broad jump: Baptiste, high jump. On the second team, Baptiste secured the position of broad jump and Johnson, high jump. On the All-Class A team, besides the players just men- tioned the following men re- ceived positions: Mabray, 40- yard dash and high jump: Huntley, 300 : Robertson, 1000 g and Hodosh, shot put. WALTER BAPTISTA SOCCER TEAM SURPRISES BROWN FRESHMEN BOOTERS The soccer team completed a successful season by going undefeated through the entire period. Their major victory was over the Brown J. V's. The game was a close one, end- ing with Hope on top, 2-1. The other two victories were enjoyed at the expense of Cen- tral, 4-2 and 4-O. Coached by Mr. Hesselton and captained by Newell Roberts, the team consisted of Bryan, Dubin, Lema, Katzman, Serpa, Gomes, Simone, and Bukao. By these victories the team established itself as the outstanding high school soccer team in the state. TENNIS DROPPED , JV'S CONTINUE Because of the War some of the minor sports at Hope were cancelled. Pall tennis was com- pletely out of the picture. There was no Tilden Cup Tournament held-a great dis- appointment to some of the netmen. However, J. V. football continued under the direction of Coach Winans and Coach Mullen. The junior squad won one, tied one, and lost three games. The best game was the one in which Hope and La Salle played to a score- less tie. Central was the only opponent toppled by the J. V.'s: they were conquered 7-0 by our eleven. The other scores were as follows: Hope 7, Mt. Pleasant 14: Hope 6, Cranston 19: Hope 7: St. Ra- phael 19. HOPE ELEVEN PLAGUED A BYB AD LUCK LAST FALL The Hope football team did not enjoy a particularly good year. There were, however, many high spots during the season. In the first game of the schedule the Blue Wave threw quite a scare into the New Britain eleven bv scoring nrst. However, the New Brit- ain team came back to win, 31-6. For three eriods our team I P ' held a powerful Cranston elev- en until they finally succumbed. 13-0. The championship La Salle team defeated Hope, 19-0 before one of the largest crowds of the season. East Providence just barely edged out our team, 6-O. in a very close game. Leading Mt. Pleasant 7-6 in the nrst half, the Blue Wave looked as though it was on its way to its first victory, when Mt. Pleasant put over another score. The final result was Mt. Pleasant 12, Hope 7. St. Raphael, the class B champion, trounced Hope 26-O, with Har- old Robinson as the standout for Hope. On Thanksgiving Day Hope played Central in its annual game, Again the luck ran against the boys in blue. for Central squeeed out a 6-O vic- tory. Although the season was not very encouraging as regards the scores, the team showed plenty of spirit. Some of the out- standing players were Karian, Cashman, O'Sullivan, Black, Robinson, Eccleston, Becker, Norton, Muddiman, McCar- ron, LaFleur, and Youhess. These boys all played good hard football and, although they did not win any games, were a credit to their school.

Ed Petor- ella, former Hope and Moses Brown trackster. did an excel- lent job of coaching in the ab- sence of Tom Russell, now in the Navy. The individual standout of the team was Jim Robertson, who has been out for the team for three years. Jim paced the team all season and the highlight of this season came when Jim annexed the city title, Hope conquered the Moses Brown team, 23-32. In a meet with La Salle and East Providence, many interesting things happened. Hughie Jez- ard ran half the race with one STING FALL SEASON shoe off. Rush, another mem- ber of the team, sprained his ankle, and Flynn fell and badly bruised his face. In the end Hope placed second with 46 points. The next meet was a dual meet with East Providence. This was one of the closest contests of the year, with a final score of East Providence 27, Hope 28. In the City Championships, Hope placed second and in the State Inter- scholastics, our team placed third. The following are the outstanding members of this team: Robertson, Strasmich. Plynn, Merritt, De Carlo, Neary, Downes, Payton, Spat- er, Blaut.
