BASKETBALL Coach John F. Donahue's masterpiece is here. His ninth Natick High School quin- tet is the greatest in Natick's athletic his- tory. t,-nly the deeds of the 1912 football team even approach their grand record. Faptain John Lelllair, William Daley. Francis Corkery, George Wiguot and Cap- tain-elect Louis Cardellicchio brought the greatest honors to Natick that a team could bring. Fighting through a regular season schedule of thirteen games without a de- feat, tney met Reading High in a play-off and won 12 to 11. They proceeded to the Massachusetts Institute of 'l'echnology's Basketball Tournament and soundly de- feated the famed Chelsea Red Devils. Un to the semi-finals against Lowell. Na- tick, a team with three hard games in four nightsg Lowell with one easy victory in two weeks. The score piled up, Lowell PAGE TVVENTY 14, Natick 1. But 11ow witl1 super-human effort the Red and Blue came to life, Lo- well 18, Natick 15. They had given all they had though, Corkery with several in- juries was doneg LeClair too was unable to continue. Lowell won 24 to 19. It was a grand game. Though each a star in his own right it was not individ- ualism which gave Natick this great quin- tet. It was team-work and unselfishness. That's how they won. That's how th-ey played: and they left no doubt in any- one's mind that they were the greatest team in Massachusetts. The Second team completed a. fifth con- secutive undefealed season.

BASEBALL Coach Donahue was forced to model an entire team this season as not one regular returned and, although our record is not outstanding in baseball as in basketball, nevertheless we made a good showing. Martin Hladick and Walter McMahon did most of our pitching. The hitting of Captain William Daley and John LeClair featured our attack. John Brennan did a fine job of the receiving and Randall and O'Regan were steady in the infield. Fran- cis Corkery at short-stop was the spark- plug of the team. Wallace Sabean, Donald Moran and Joseph Downey were other regulars.
