OCCQI' With five returning lettermen, it looked as if the Milton Soccer Team might again win the Gummere Cup. As it turned out, there was not enough strength and experi- ence for the Team to end up with a win- ning record. In the first game, the Squad looked better beating Brooks 3-0 than it had in any pre-season practice. Frank Davis, playing soccer for the first time at Milton, scored first. Tony Bradley, likewise playing his first year of soccer, scored the second goal. A penalty kick by Phil Perry accounted for the last Milton tally. The next opponent was the Harvard Freshmen. The defense played brilliantly, especially fullback john Farrington and goalie jim Perkins, who held the Crimson to the lone goal of the afternoon. The team might have won an unprecedented victory against the Frosh if there had been a good scoring punch. Facing a powerful Tabor Team, Milton made a very creditable showing until the final period. Going into the last quarter, the score was tied at 1-1, but towards the end of the game Tabor put in two quick goals to win by a 3-1 margin. The Team missed Perkins who had sprained his ankle in practice. The defense again played well. At this point in the season, with the Team desperate for a scoring combination, Cap- tain Phil Perry, a natural center halfback, was moved to center forward. This paid off in the next game, as Milton beat Browne 81 Nichols 3-1, Perry scoring first on a break. Harry Eldridge came through with the other two goals. Governor Dummer proved to be too strong, as their two Liberians each scored in a 3-0 Milton defeat. No Milton player excelled in this game. A windy day at St. Mark's found the Orange and Blue outplay- ing the opposition but losing in a 2-1 game. Henry Cortesi scored the lone Milton goal. Belmont Hill came up with an upset, beating Milton 1-0 as the Team played its worst game of the year. It was the first time a Belmont Hill Soccer Team had ever won a game from Milton. The Team played its best game against Nobles. The opposition scored early in the first quarter, but Ebby Faber quickly put in the equalizer. From there on, Milton kept the ball in the Nobles half of the field most of the time, although there wasn't another score until Tony Bradley found the nets in the third quarter. Ebby Faber scored again and Henry Cortesi put in the final tally to make the score 4-1. Durant, Cortesi, and Perry all played very well in this game. In the final game, Milton faced a strong Graduate Team which was soundly beaten, 4-0. This was the first time in three years that the Grads had been defeated. Faber picked up two goals and Robertson and Perry each scored once, the latteris being on a penalty kick. As the season drew to a close, the Team showed the scoring power which was so badly needed in earlier games. The retum of Jim Perkins also strengthened the Team greatly. Fullbacks john Farrington and David Brayton are to be commended for their out- standing defensive play. The halfback line of Durant, Hartmann and Cortesi proved to be very effective and will doubtless form the nucleus of next yearis Team. Tony Bradley, playing inside, improved rapidly and Faber developed into a real scoring threat as he scored four goals in the last two games. jim Perkins showed the po- tential of being a stand-out goalie in the few games which he played. Perry was the high man in evaluated points, closely fol- lowed Bill Hartmann. Much credit is due Mr. Koehler for his excellent coaching. Best of luck to him and to Captain-elect Bill Hartmann in bringing the Gummere Cup to Milton again next season.

Hockey On November 22, a bleary eyed group of hockey players had their first practice at the Skating Club at 6:00 A.M. after the Football Dance. After four more Sunday morning practices, the Team left for The Northwood Invitation Hockey Tournament at Lake Placid, N. Y. The Milton pucksters won their first game, defeating Mt. Hermon 4-3. Iohn Wylde collected the first goal of the season, and one dollar, on a pass from Dick Reilly. In the second game, the Team was over- powered by a strong Taft six, 7-3. Tony Bradley netted two goals and assisted on one. Playing Choate in the consolation round, the Team lost in a sudden death overtime, 4-3. Captain Hugh Marlow and Dick Reilly scored the first two goals. De- fenseman Toby Baker scored his first goal of the season. The high scorers for Milton were Hugh Marlow, with five points, and Bradley and Reilly with three each. After Lake Placid, the Team opened the home season by beating Browne and Nich- ols, 6-2, for the first League victory. Hugh Marlow was high scorer with two goals and an assist. Frank Davis and Tom Thur- mond each scored for the O8zB. After a week of no ice, Milton defeated St. Marks 2-1, at the Lynn Arena. Bradley and Reilly each put in a goal. On the following Wednesday, Brooks fell prey to an aggressive Milton six, losing 3-2. The Marlow brothers did the bulk of the scoring, each getting a goal. john Wylde scored the winning goal in the third period. Milton lost its next game to the League champion, Belmont Hill, 6-2, Tom Thur- mond and Hugh Marlow each got an un- assisted goal. The Team pulled into the winning col- umn again by defeating Middlesex 2-1 in a very tight game. Hugh Marlow scored the first goal, but Middlesex retaliated a minute later. Late in the third period, john Wylde got his second winning goal. Goalie Dave Sheehan tumed aside all but one of the twenty-seven shots. Playing Governor Dummer in the rain at Andover, the Team lost a very close game, 2-1, mainly due to inability to scdre on set-ups. Captain Hugh Marlow scored Milton's only goal on an assist from Brad- ley. K Returning to Lynn, the Team was over- powered by a strong Nobles six, 5-0. Shee- han again turned in a very creditable game with 24 saves. League leading scorer, Dick Flood, got four points. Playing on An- dover's rink in warm weather, Andover defeated the 081B in the last minutes of the game, 3-2. Frank Davis and Tony Mar- low tallied for Milton. For the first time in school history the Hockey Team traveled to West Point to playthe Plebes at the end of the season. Captain Hugh Marlow opened the scoring at the five minute mark with the first of his three goals. The Plebes retaliated four minutes later and the game was deadlocked until half way through the second period, when the Plebes scored on a screen shot. Marlow's second unassisted goal tied it up again. At 8:28 of the third period, Marlow scored his third goal. Milton then played defensive hockey, but with less than ten seconds to play the Plebes tied it up. At 2:10 of a sudden death overtime period, the Soldiers scored the deciding goal to win, 4-3. Although the Team's record was not out- standing, there are many phases of the season that will be long remembered. The Team is greatly indebted to coaches Rob- erts and Morrison for their spirit and in- struction. And we wish to express our thanks to Mr. Stokinger for all the work that he did for us. We should also like to thank all those on the Artificial Rink Committee for giving so unsparingly of their time to make that project possible. V Best of luck to Captain-elect Tom Thur- mond and the rest of his Squad next year.
