134 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 Baseball News Starting the season with but four vet- erans. the Technical High School base- ball team has not l een defeated to this date and has a record of seven consecu- tive victories. Under the leadership of Captain Mario De Pippo. our veteran shortstop, the Crimson and Gray warriors are having one of the l est seasons in the history of Tech. Supporting Capt. lie Pippo on our im- pregnable inner defence are, Frank Ap- plin, a new but promising first baseman, Harry Greaves a horn second baseman, and Joe Dobosynski a real hot corner guardian. Our three hall hawks of the outer garden. Gorman at right, Janis at center, and Platt at left field arc the envy of the opposing school teams of the state. Ranking among the best pitchers of the state is Quinton, our stellar slab artist. He must be given much credit for the success of our 1928 club. Speed and control arc his means of success. We wish him the best of luck in his later baseball years. The brilliant performance of Dixie Matthews behind the plate has been one of the chief elements of the team’s success. He has served as Quin- ton’s most reliable target for th last two seasons. Kirkland and Halloway served as most worthy substitute battery and they de- serve no little credit. Morse, Lutz, and Murphy composed an able extra set of outfielders and Taylor served as a re- liable assistant in the infield. We appreciate the work of Coach Schuster in transforming a rather medi- ocre nine into a team of championship standing. His uncomplaining patience and clever baseball tactics have made possible Tech’s success in the baseball world.

136 THE TECH REVIEW 1928 Tech Swimming Team The Swimming Team of 1928 opened its season with all new members except Captain Bill Purcell and “Tut” Ferrara, who are letter men. Several weeks of hard training were necessary before this newly recruited team was ready to compete with any other school. The opening meet of the year on February 8, was with Paw- tucket High School at their new pool and resulted in a score of 41-19 in favor of Pawtucket. Not discouraged by this de- feat. our natators were spurred to greater efforts. Two weeks later on February 22, the team met Hope High School at Braman Pool, and won by a rousing score of 41-21. Two more weeks of training followed and then occurred the big meet of the year on March 7. This was to determine the City Championship. Tech, Hope, Classical, and Commercial entered. The meet ended with Tech and Commercial tied for first, each having 20 points, Hope being third with 18 and Classical bringing up the rear with a total of 17. ------o IDLE THOUGHTS Which one of you has never dreamed Of being great some day? Have you ne’er hoped that Fate Would bring you fame some way? Who would not bridge Atlantic’s roar Or build below the waves A subway of cement and steel, Through subterranean caves. The Nobel winner earns acclaim From even mighty kings,— What soul in silence has not craved Renown, such honor brings? But wherefore dream, when deeds alone Will lead to envied Fame? Go, win, and earn your place Or stay, and play the game. Helen Cunningham, ’28 The Brown Interscholastic Swimming Meet was held on March 16, and ter- minated with St. George’s Academy win- ning 26 points. Moses Brown 17 , Paw- tucket W t, Commercial 9, Tech 6, Hope and Classical tied for the bottom with five apiece . On March 23, in the Y. M. C. A. Interscholastics Pawtucket was first, Commercial second, Tech third, Hope fourth, Classical fifth, Cranston sixth. Pawtucket High School on March 28, held an Interscholastic Meet in their new pool and offered two cups; one for first place and the other for second place. Pawtucket came in first with 41 points. Tech true to her colors defeated her rival Commercial for second place with 18 points to the latter’s 16 points. Tech’s last meet of the year, held at Braman Pool on April 4, was with Commercial to determine the battle held previously for the City Championship. Tech came out the victor in the glorious ending of the season, with the score 32-24.
