In order to choose a team, Coach Frank Doherty used a tournament in which the winners were the seeded players.

The last team match was held in Bridgeport when the squad lost to the Warren Harding High School aggregation by the score of four to one. Again it was Al Hirshberg that garnered the lone Milford tally. At the time of this writing, Milford 'is planning to send four of its men to the Yale Interscholastic Matches.

THE WILSON CLUB The Wilson and Gould Clubs, which derive their names from the Wilson and Gould cups, have had some keen competition in both foot- ball and basketball this year. A fine display of sportsmanship was prevalent in even the most trying clashes. The rivalry began with the first football contest, in which the Wilson Club was victorious. The opening kickoff by Fischbeck, of the Goulds, went to Cuomo, who in two plays raced the ball over for a score. After holding their opponents for the remainder of the period, the Goulds succeeded in scoring. The first half ended with the score six all. There was no score in the third quarter, for the field was dominated by neither team. In the fourth quarter Frechette succeeded in delivering a pass to Gumpert, who scored. Then after the kickoff O'Neill intercepted a pass that put the ball in a position which enabled Seybold to take it over in the next play. Frechette, Gumpert, and Seybold starred for Wilson, while Don Fischbeck did excellent offensive and defensive work for the losers.
