16 OAK, LILY AND IVY. The football squad for the season of 1909, before disbanding, chose John Dalton, ’11, to succeed Ray Dunphy, ’10, as captain of next season’s team. At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association, William Moloney was elected assistant manager of the baseball team. He will succeed to the mana¬ gership next year. The season for hockey has passed along with very little chance for playing, owing to the poor condition of the ice. Ralph Newcomb and his players played two games; one with the Awpis club, Christmas morning, winning with a score of 2 to 1, the other with South Framingham High at South Framingham, losing by a score of 1 to o . The players have had little chance to develop their playing, but did well under the circumstances. Because we have had no quarters in which to practice and play basketball, nothing has been done by the Athletic Association in putting out a team. Thos. Quirk, ’10, manager of the baseball team for this year, has arranged a schedule of thirteen games, with many open dates to be filled within the next few weeks. We hope that the school will give its full support toward the forming of a successful team. THE SCHEDULE. Tuesday, April 16, Alumni, A. M. here. Saturday, u 23, Franklin, here. u u 30, Wayland, here. Wednesday, May 4, Framingham, at Framingham. Saturday, ‘‘ 7, Marlboro, at Marlboro. “ “ 14, Uxbridge, here. Wednesday, u 18, Franklin, at Franklin.
