Out lof six meets Natick lost two, name- ly Walpole and Needham, winning from Marlboro, Wayside and Wellesley. The score of the Natick-Wellesley meet was 48 1-2 to 32 1-2 points. Old records were shattered and new ones were estaiblislied by Henry Scott in the mile run with the time of 4 minutes 58 1-2 seconds. Klein and Wight in the 100-Yard Dash each timed 10 4-5 seconds. Johnson in the .shot-put distanced 39 feet 6 inches. In the pole vault Webster made 9 feet 1 inch. The requirement for a Natick record is that it is a first place and that it be made at Natick.

FOOTBALL The 15135 edition of Natick High's foot- ball team encountered considerable hard luck. Three overwhelming defeats, the dire:-t results of important injuries or broken moral, make an otherwise excellent record appear poor. The season began with a pair of wins. Then an unfortunate re- sult of the Wellesley game made way for a crushing defeat by Hudson. They came back to take a husky Milford team how- ever only to bow to Needhanrs revenge for last year. Thx- gganie with Norwood was marked by more than the usual hard-fougzlit contest. Aftrr scoring in t.l.f' first half the lied and PAGE I'IIIlHTl'Il'IN Blue finally allowed the superior weight of their opponents to tie the score. After a disappointing Dedham game came the most colorful battle with Framingham in years. A safety by the Blue and White initiated the scoring. But a beautiful pass gave Natick tlze edge again at 7-2. In the third period a perfectly executed drop-kick for a field goal by Fisher was nullified for offside. This heart-breaking play turned a sure victory back. In the final period Framingham scored again to defeat time Red and Blue. In the line the offensive play of our agressive leader Salvi Arena, the defensive work of our star center Martin Hall and in the baclcfield a doughty group of four horsemen all combined to make a fine teain.

BASEBALL Natick High, playing its first ycar in the newly organized Bay State Baseball league. had fair success during the 1936 season. Captain John Downey was the only regu- lar to return and Coach Donahue was hard- pressed to produce a good team. However. he did produce a team which rated on a par with ally other entry in the loop. Sal- vie Arena was the first baseman. with Bob Mc-Gowan on second, Roger Marso at short and John Donahue on third. Holm Hall played left and Marty Hall right wliilc Captain Downey did a fine joh patrolling thc center garden. Others to I'.-V2 li 'VKX' l'lN'l'Y see service in the games were: Bill fDaley. Leo Bouret, Francis Corkery and Sonny LeC1air. Buster McNicho1s did the catching with John Downey, John In- ferrere, Paul Bremner, Marty Hladick and Bill Buckley. the pitchers. Coach Donahue produced a fine team from little material.
