Maynard 12 — Ashland G October 22, 1949 Warren Smith and Co. gave the Owls a scare be- fore dropping this one. At the end of a knock-down drag-out first period there was no score, but mid-way in the second period Tommy Cocco tallied from the twelve yard line to make it 6-0. Paced by the run- ning and passing of Warren Smith, Ashland moved down field, with that same Warren Smith scoring from eight out. At half time it was a 6-6 deadlock, with the Ashland fans clamoring for an upset, and the Maynard rooters talking under their voices. Early in the third period Maynard started an 87 yard march that ended, believe it or not, on the Ashland one foot line. This certainly did not stop the Owls, at least not Scoop Viola and Bob Holly, for on the next play, both these boys broke through the lines, Viola knocking the ball to the ground and Holly falling on it to give the Orange and Black a 12-6 victory. With a season record of 4-1, the Owls start on the toughest half of their schedule, still hoping to take Midland League honors. Maynard G — Natick 25 October 29, 1949 Powerhouse Natick just can’t be beaten. The Owls gave it everything they had, but Natick had reserves and that was the story. Scoop Viola spear-headed a drive to the 5 and on a quick opener, Scoopie” bulled his way over. Natick tied it up in the second period on a long aerial from Joe Kane to Ted Piers. Just before the half ended, Charley Sticka scored for Natick from the 1, and Wally Montgomery converted. Prom here on in the Owls fought with everything in their power, but the aforementioned reserves were too much. In the fourth period, a Kane to Mont- gomery aerial made it 19-6, and then Johnny Crisa- fulli scored from the 20 to make it 25-6. It was the Owls’ second loss of the year, their first in league competition. The Warriors really put up stiff com- petition, but like that Lucky Ole’ Sun, Natick just keeps rolling along. Methuen 12 — Maynard 0 November 5, 1949 The Owls made another long journey to Methuen this time and it was the ride, not once beaten Me- thuen, that bowled over the Maynardites. In the third period, trailing 6-0, the Warriors put on a march which seemed over as Albcri scored from the 5. The play was called back and Maynard tried in despera- tion to move it over, but lost the ball on downs. An- other time. Scoop Viola broke away for 60 yards but was tackled and Maynard couldn’t put the ball over. Late in the third period, Viola ran 45 yards, but fumbled when he was hit and another scoring threat was over. In the last period, Bob MacCurder caught a pass in the end zone to make it 12-0. That ended the scoring and the Owls’ record now stands at 4-3. Marlboro 39 — Maynard 13 November 11, 1949 The Hilltoppers dood it again, this time paced by their two and a half backfield aces, Drummey, Dona- hue and Jolie. Donahue scored 18 points, and Jolic 9, while Masciarelli picked up 6 along with Jimmy Drummey. Maynard was trailing 14-0 at the end of the initial period, but Scoop Viola scored from the five and Rogers converted to make it 14-7. Just before the half, Ed Romanowski peeled off a 55- yard run to hit paydirt only to have it called back and Maynard penalized. At the half time the score was Marlboro 20 Maynard 7, but that was as close as the Owls came. Don Jolie started hitting his pass re- ceivers and Marlboro scored three quickies. Scoop Viola hit from 15 yards out in the fourth period to end the day’s scoring. Maynard 40 — Milford G November 19, 1949 The team finally showed what it had been promis- ing all year by belting Milford 40-6. In the first period Danny Dintino broke away and raced 47 yards to score. Archie Rogers converted to make it 7-0. Just after the next kick-off, Ed Romanowski inter- cepted an aerial and returned it 65 yards to the Mil- ford 11. From here, Dickie Alberi scored and O’Toole converted to make it 14-0. In the second period, Jim Giamarco caught a pass in the end zone to make it 14-6. Dickie Alberi took the second half kick-off and raced 84 yards to score. In the fourth period, Maynard broke the game wide open. Alberi scored from the four and O’Toole converted to make it 27-6. Bobby Viola then intercepted a Milford pass and brother A1 took it over, with One Play’’ again converting. The next time Maynard got the ball Perillo heaved a 30 yard pass to O’Toole on the twenty, and Billy outraced the Milford secondary to score.

Maynard vs. Concord (At Concord) First Team Concord 1 — Maynard 0 Second Team Maynard 0 — Concord 0 Tuesday, November 1, was an important date for the M. H. S. Field Hockey teams. It was then that they played powerful Concord, their arch rival for years. Although the first team showed plenty of spirit and fight, the Concord girls were able to make a goal, the score being 1-0 in their favor. The second team match ended in a scoreless tie. Both teams played excellently and we are justly proud of them. The Field Hockey girls would like to thank Miss Mary Collins, who through her kindness and good will gave up her time to coach for us. We are deeply grateful and wish her many successful seasons of coaching. Field Hockey Teams First Team Angie Greeno C.F. Barbara Priest, Sara Boeske L.I. June Statkus, Clair Tourville R.I.
