The HOWLETT - 1929 ec-97939. SPORTS HE past football season was the greatest Mar- ston's has enjoyed in years, tying The Boys' Latin School for first honors in the B conference of the Maryland Inter-Scholastic League. Although legally tying the rivals, there is still a superior atti- tude in the minds of the players, as the Latinists re- fused to accept a challenge by us, and for this reason Marston's is perfectly justified in claiming the championship. The above is not all Marston's can boast, for, at the close of the season, a letter arrived at the school notifying Captain Tom Bosley that he was wanted at the stadium for the All-Maryland picture which was to appear in the Sunday Sun two weeks hence. When the picture appeared in the paper, we found written after Tom's name, Best Bet. This is the first time in the history of the Marston School that anyone has been placed on the All-Maryland football team, and it is indeed an honor for both the school and Tom to be greatly proud of. A On November twenty-fifth last the annual football dinner was held at the school during which letters were awarded and elections took place. The return of the election was as follows: Captain of lacrosse 1919, Al Plitt, manager of lacrosse 1919, John Cooney, captain of football 1919, Bill Struveng and manager of football 1919, John Cooney. Shortly after the close of the football season, soccer was ushered in as a new sport at Marston's with Mr. Thomas, a very able player at one time, and a competent coach, taking charge. As a new diversion of the field soccer is making a tremendous stride to become a major sport at the school in a few years. Lacrosse began early in March with the entire last year's team returning, with the exception of two, and many newcomers. With this great array of men available, a championship team is predicted by those associated with lacrosse at Marston's. Boasting of such efficacious players as Al Plitt, captain of the team, Tom Bosley, Bobby Macdonald, and Jimmy McCabe, all of three to four years' experience, Mar- ston's should be at the top of the league when the season concludes. Heretofore Mr. Middleton has coached lacrosse, but unfortunately he has ac- cepted a position as coach at the University of Penn, and Kelso Morrill, former Hopkins player and Mt. Washington star, has replaced Mr. Middleton. It is a sad occurrence to be deprived of such a coach as Mr. Middleton, but the team will have to make the best of it. Mr. Mid- dleton is one of the best coaches in the country, and certainly should be successful with his new project at Penn. We know he will have success, and hope there is abundance of grass for him to eat. L47 l
