Seeking revenge against Grafton, who had beaten Millis the previous year, The Mohawks, led by Chiefs Breen and Barrett, came up with a decisive victory in the season’s first en- counter. Equipped with one of the finest offensive and defensive lines in the area, the team scalped Dover, Bellingham, and Norton before their pace slackened. When the Millis team met Medfield, they were undefeated and untied. The Mohawks proudly stormed into the game, only to have fate strike them a disheartening blow when two of their best players were seriously injured during the first half. The Mohawks, however, never lost their courage and were able to score another touchdown before going down to defeat. The team accepted this loss bravely and with good sportsmanship, and quickly bounced back with another winning streak. They fought hard and long for each of their last four victories. Without a doubt, however, the Medway game-was the toughest and probably the wettest victory of all.
