Front row-John Colburn, right field, pitcherg Gordon Robbins, shortstopg Emerson Merritt, catcherg Grandon Keene, pitcher, Vincent Travi, second base, Norman Robbins, third baseg George Cavanagh, first base. BASEBALL After a successful season of basketball, the boys of Norwell High started baseball practice with their hopes for the following two months not so strong. Coach Daggett, when asked what the prospects of victory were, replied that the only thing that worried him was trying to get nine men. This indeed must always be one of the great handicaps encountered by any school of such limited enrollment as ours. The weeks of practice passed quickly and Norwell faced Pembroke for its first test of the season with the following line-up: G. Keene, pitcher, E. Merritt, catcherg G. Cavanagh, lst baseg V. Travi, 2nd baseg N. Robbins, 3rd baseg G. Robbins, shortstop: W. Blakeley, left fieldg B. White, center fieldg J. Szydlowski, right field, V. Peterson, field sub. Norwell took the contest 12--0. This line- up has remained unchanged with V. Peterson as a substitute fielder. During the next few weeks, Norwell added to its credit victories over Marshfield, Duxbury, Scituate, and Kingston. Keene certainly show- ed a masterly skill at twirling the horsehide all through each game, and it is through his excellent pitching that Norwell is now well in line for the South Shore pennant. On May 27, however, we took our first de- feat-from East Bridgewater. It was a hard struggle that stretched into twelve long innings before the victors pushed over their final tally. Norwell came back strongly against its old tra- ditional rival, Hanover, and trimmed them- 4-2. Grandon Keene and Emerson Merritt are judged by many as the best and strongest bat- tery in the league. John Colburn has been very helpful as a utility fielder and has shown his worth on the mound in practice games. The work of Gypsy Cavanagh at first base will long be remembered in Norwell High and he will be greatly missed by the other members of the team who have had the good fortune to play with him. Kenne, Cavanzigh, and Szyd- lowski are the three Seniors on the team. There are three Juniors: Colburn, Merritt. and N. Robbinsg three Sophomores: G. Robbins. Trzivi. and White. Blakeley and Peterson are in .lun- ior High, Blakeley being one of our most piomising batters.
