GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Field Hockey This year, again, we claim that our field hockey team was the best that l ech has yet known. Perhaps it is true that we claim this every year, but the fact that the team improves greatly, season by sea- son, is also true,—due, perhaps, to the effi- cient coaching of Miss Ziesenitz. But still we found that the other teams had improved just as much, so, as yet, we have not won the championship. How- ever, we did manage to tie Hope for sec- ond place in the league” standing. Both games with Classical were easy victories. But Hope handed us a 5-3 set- back when we played on their field, though in the return game, on our own field, we trounced them, 3-1. I he two games with Commercial we lost; but games such as they were are worth losing—clean, hard-fought and close, with friendly rivalry and good sports- manship standing out every moment of play. Following is the schedule with scores: Date School T.O. Nov. 1—Classical 7-0 Nov. 8—Hope 3-5 Nov. 1 4—Commercial 2-3 Nov. 19—Classical 9-2 Nov. 20—Commercial 3-5 Nov. 22—Hope 3-1 Excellent team-work stood out through- out the season, with Irma Russin at centre forward; the Le Vasseur twins at the in- side births; Henrietta Busby, left wing, and Mary Marcello at right wing. Helen Baclawski and Doris ( Skeezix”) Can- ning alternated at left and right halfbacks, with Capt. Elna Blomquist at centre half. Linda Anderson and Ella Williams filled the fullback position, and, again, Louise Aborn kept goal. Several subs saw plenty of action: An- toinette l amiglietti, w.; Eleanor Knott, h. b.; Margaret Tainsh, h. b.; Helen Jo- seph, f. b.; Ruth Botvin, h. b.; and Bea- trice Berkhander, w.

98 TIIK TECH REVIEW 1980 fourth consecutive championship in soccer. Not only did the team capture the cham- pionship, but it was undefeated. The team scored 28 points to their opponents 3. McDonald showed up well in the goal, while Captain Welshman, DiRaimo, Judge and Low starred up front. Team Technical Opponents Cranston 3 0 Commercial 2 0 Classical 2 0 Hope 3 0 Cranston 5 2 Commercial 1 0 Classical 6 0 Hope 4 0 28 3 Coach— Anderson Manager —Low Captain- —Welshman HOCKEY T his season’s hockey team is at present in making. The chance for repeating the performance of last year’s team, in cap- turing the pennant, is excellent. T he rea- son for this is that there are five regulars of last year’s team on the roster, besides some of last year’s substitutes. The regu- lars are Rotelli, Ward, Giles, Baker and Gardner, while the substitutes are Machon, Arnold, Hodges, and Duggan. With these men and the other substitutes, we ought to have a fine team. The team will play the regular league games with Mt. St. Charles, La Salle, Warwick, and Central Falls. Games with Pomfret, Brown University Freshman, and Moses Brown will also be on the schedule. Coach—William Schuster Capt.—Nobody as yet Manager—Morton Arnold Tennis Via Mary (“Twinnie”) Lc Vasseur, a championship has at last been brought to Tech. After trouncing Margaret Howard, a l ech senior, 6-1, 6-2, to win the school championship, and Dorothy Pearson from Hope, 6-2, 6-0, in the semi-finals, “Twin- nie,” who is only a sophomore, captured the city singles’ crown, by defeating Ida Adamao, a Commercial senior, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. However, her most difficult match was probably that in the preliminaries when she just nosed out her twin sister. Mar- guerite. Last June, Marguerite also won her way to the finals, but the last match, between she and a Hope girl, w-as called off on account of vacation. Everyone knows that if the Tw'innies” Le Vasseur formed a doubles’ team, that no other high school pair in the city could make any show whatever against them! Both are also stars on every other girls’ team here at 1 ech, and we can justly be proud of them.

100 THE TECH REVIEW 1030 THE TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS CLUB Organized in the spring of 1929 for the purpose of promoting tennis as a sport in Tech, the Technical High School 1 ennis Club has been accomplishing its object. Since it was formed many team prospects have joined the club. The tennis team has had many meets in the past season whose results have been gratifying. This year l ech entered the finals in the 1 ilden Cup matches for the first time in tennis history. There the team was successful even in defeat, for it won meritorious praise from all onlookers for its good sportsman- ship. It is this spirit even more than winning games which the Tennis Club seeks to pro- mote, for the club is closely allied with the team. Mr. Hatch, the faculty advisor, is also athletic director. The present officers are: Ralph Schaubhut, President; Richard Chambers, Vice-President; and Kenneth Godfrey, Secretary- Treasurer. To gain ad- mittance requires the approbation of the class teachers and the principal, with the addition of the approval of a large majority of the members of the club. Through the efforts of the club a team has been assembled which is equal to any in spirit, and which it is the intention of the club to make equal to any in power. With the bright results of the past before us, we expectantly await the coming season. Kenneth L. Godfrey, Secretary.
