FOOTBALL BOYS’ BOYS’ ' W ' XITH only four regulars from last year’s team, Mr. Harvey, aided by Mr. Raffensperger, started early in September to develop about twenty-five green boys, some of whom played last year as subs. Every man had to fight for his berth, and no positions were known before the opening game with Spring City. Led by Captain O’Donnell, the team always went down with the fighting M.-N. spirit, and lost the games with Yeadon, Sharon Hill, and Swarthmore by bad breaks and inexperience. This year, the annual Thanksgiving Day game with Springfield was played in the Swarthmore College Field. In the first half Springfield scored a touchdown, and during the remainder of the game the boys from M.-N. threatened, but failed to score. Joe Reed was elected captain for 1937, and we are looking forward to a better season. BASKETBALL r lllS year’s basketball season was one of the most successful that Marple- Newtown ever had. Lhider the guiding hands of Coach Harvey and Captain Hill, the boys came through with eight victories, a second place in their League, and a 22-25 score against Upper Darby in the Kiwanis Tournament. Hancock was chosen guard on the League’s first team, and Hill and Hoskins were given honorable mention on the second team. Hill, Hancock, and McLaughlin saw regular varsity service last year, while Bas- cone, Hoskins, List, Reed, and Rich were then second team men. The latter five, in addition to Clements and Dilworth, became regulars on this year’s varsity team. Although Dilworth, Rich, List, Hoskins, and AIcLanghlin will be graduated this year, we still look for another successful season next year. The second team offers many promising prospects. BASEBALL he old fighting spirit is again invading the diamond at M.-N. as Coach Har- M vey’s boys went off to a flying start by defeating Schwenksville with a 6-3 score. The second game, although the boys played well, went to Clifton with a score of 9-5. Our next game was with Whitpain and by the splendid score of 20-7, we were victorious. Yeadon was our next rival. The score was tie in the last inning but in the extra inning our boys rallied and took the game with a 5-2 score. The first team is composed of: Reed, Hill, Talbot, Sturm, Rich, Clements, Mani- gault, Hancock, Wilson, McLaughlin and Bascone (Captain). McLaughlin is the only senior and with such good material, Mr. Harvey looks forward to a very successful year in ’38. Pa(jc Twenty-kvo
