Chace, Cangiano, Cummings, Collier. All the candidates for the First Football Team came back to school last fall with great enthu- siasm and determination. Our hopes were high for our first game against Belmont Hill. With two touchdowns by Captain Williams and one by Tim Taylor, we defeated them 20-12. Although our offense appeared strong, our defense needed to be pulled together. The following weekend, we held Middlesex to one touchdown with an improved defense led by Pappas, Charlton Ames, and Francis. But our offensive team was never able to penetrate beyond the Middlesex twenty yard line, and consequently we lost 6-0. On a very windy day at Newport, we tied St. George's 6-6. Our only touchdown came from an end-sweep by Bert Williams, aided with two expert blocks by Baker and Bancroft. St. George's tied the game late in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on a series of long passes and careless errors on our part. The Governor Dummer game was perhaps the most satisfying score-wise, as we took it 48-26. It was in this game that we realized Tim Taylor's great passing potential, as he connected with the two ends, Baker and Flynn, for 126 yards. The seven touchdowns were made by Rick Howard, Bert Williams, Flynn, and Bakerg and the defensive team also began to show its strength, with Thaxter and Millet excelling. At Southborough, there were many bright spots in the game against St. Marks, although the final score of 20-6 does not show it. Because of the rain, we were not able to open up entirely the Tay- lor-to-Baker-and-Flynn combination, yet we still outpassed them 75 yards to 16. On the ground of- fensively, we outran them 257-210 yards. The former figure was helped with a long run by Captain- elect Fred Faulkner for a touchdown, and despite the conditions, Fred Butler turned in a good performance at center. Cheered on by a record Father's and Son's Day crowd, we took Groton 34-20. The Williamses scored a touchdown apiece with three others coming from the Taylor-to-Flynn-and-Baker combina- tion. The defense, sparked by Walt Channing, Dan Cheever, and Pete Hedblom, gave us its best game of the season. Offensively, the line continued to open up the holes, with Claflin and Pappas doing extremely fine jobs. In the final game of the season at Nobles, Milton dominated the play. Undaunted by a Nobles'

Heading for victory at Nobles. P. A. system, Tim Taylor went over for the first T.D. He was soon followed by Tim Williams, after a long run by fullback Howard. The game was probably the best of the season with Tim Taylor, Walt Channing, Ben Walcott, Phil Allison, Thaxter, and Cheever playing the hardest football. The final score was 28-8. The team as a whole was good this year, and those who will be coming back to aid Captain- elect Faulkner have had an invaluable experience. Because of the continued drive and high spirit of the whole team, and because of the meticulous coaching of Messrs. Stokinger, Hall, Owen, and Sar- gent, this season's record of 4-2-1 was made possible. We wish the same good luck to those return- ing next year.
