October 27. TAUNTON- Coyle opened athletic relations with Taunton High. Over two thousand fans jammed Woodley Field to see the contest. Throughout three periods the fight was waged with fierce intensity, neither side gaining any advantages. ln the closing period Taunton broke through to score. The try for the extra point was a failure. Capt. McCarthy, Lynch, Dooley, McCann, and Hogan were outstanding for Coyle while Wills, Brow, and Bartek turned in the best performances for Taunton. The final score: Taunton-6 Coyle-0. November 2. WARREN -Lacking some of their old spirit the Warriors trotted out on the gridiron and gave Warren a I2-0 drubbing. Lynch registered both touchdowns for Coyle. November IO. DURFE.EAFor the second time in two years the Red and Black of Durfee waved triumphantly over the Blue and Gold. Ed Henrys, flashy Durfee halfback, was the hero of the game. He scored two touchdowns, one in the first and the other in the second period. After blocking a Durfee kick Jim McCann retrieved the oval and went over to score. Toner made the extra point with a kick from placement. The final score: Durfee-l2, Coyle -7. November I7. HOLY FAlVllLYfl:ailure to convert the extra point after the touchdown was the margin by which Coyle lost to its diocesan rival, Holy Family of New Bedford.

The pass for the winning point was made from Carter to Ryan. O'Connell carried the pigskin over the line for Coyle in the second period. The try for the extra point was a failure. The final score: Holy Family-7. Coyle -6. November 24. MARSHFIELD-Coyle drove the Marshheld aggregation all over the lot but the best the Blue and Gold could put in the box score was six points.

RADUATION took a heavy toll of the Coyle High basketball team, removing four members of the first team, and also a few second stringers. Despite this handicap the prospects for a successful season mounted when it was foreseen that there was ample material from which to mould a strong . team. However, the season had hardly com- menced when scholastic difficulties removed several stellar members from the lineup. This was a blow to Coach Burnsg with indomitable spirit, however, he set to work to develop a win- ning quintet from among the remaining players who had escaped the guillotine of scholastic failure. Although the team, because of its inexperience, got away to an unimpressive start, it improved rapidly, and by the close of the season was rated one of the strongest in this section. The bright- ' est spots in the entire season were the double W, , victories over each of its greatest rivals. . .
