On September 20 about 40 boys reported from summer vacation to start football practice. There was much work to be done in preparation for the first game of the year in two weeks with Belmont Hill. More work than usual was necessary because we were already a week behind most of the other teams in the mythical league. Against Belmont Hill the score was tied on touchdowns by Captain Fred Faulkner and quarterback Bill Burgin, when with only two minutes to go, Bert Williams broke loose for a 59-yard touchdown run which won the game for Milton, 20-14. On October 10, the team found little competition against a weak Middlesex team. We romped, 35-0, owing to the strong blocking of Millet, Francis and Cheever, along with the running of Faulkner, Williams, Hedblom, and Sullivan. With two wins behind us, a week later we found ourselves outplayed by a strong St. Georges team and lost 0-24 This loss seemed to shock us into better ball because the following week on Governor Dummer's Father and Son's Day we won, 28-8. Bill Burgin, the quarterback, looked outstanding in this game as he threw many passes to the ends, Baker and Filoon, one of which was a touch- down. Next in line was unbeaten and untied St. Marks. However, this game was marked by good defensive play on the parts of ends Bingham and Noble, and line-backers Harding and Hedblom. With two touchdowns in the first quarter by Williams, and one by Hedblom in the fourth quar- ter, Milton won on extra points, 24-20. On our own Father and Son's Day, we met a strong Groton team who had lost only one game. Groton led at the half and looked better as play progressed. However, in the second half, the defense seemed to tighten up and with the blocking of Pappas, Francis, Collier, and Cheever, Faulkner and Williams were able to score the two clinching touchdowns as Milton won 20-12. Finally on November 14 we met an always potentially dangerous Nobles team. With the help of all three strings, our rivals scored only one touchdown as we went on to overcome them 38-6. Many members of the team have not been named, such as Kemp at safety and Crocker at corner backer, but they all deserve credit for such a successful year, along with the Coaches, Messrs. Stokinger, Hall and Owen. This year's 6-1 record was a team effort, and the senior class, years from now, will be able to look back on this season with a feeling of pride.
