THE GOLDEN-ROD 17 Athletic Comments May all the football teams at Quincy High be like Hill’s. The games this year have been well attended and a great deal of school spirit has been shown, especially by the girls of the school. Captain Hill’s work this year entitles him to a place among the best schoolboy half-backs in greater Boston. Some strong teams were played, among them being Hyde Park. Dedham, Brockton, Boston College High and Dorchester. Blackmur and H. Chapman have held down the end positions with much credit. The team developed a good quarter-back in Larkin, who should do well another year. The team has been greatly handicapped in not having a second team to scrimmage with. Manning has shown that he can play at both end and quarter-back with skill. Harmon, considering his weight, has played a strong game at full-back. The coaching of Edward Burns, at the begin- ning of the season, put the team where it was able to hold its own with any of the teams of greater Boston. One of the hardest positions on the team, center, was very efficiently played all through the season by Tirrell. Exit, Football, enter Basketball. MILLARD CHAPMAN, Athletic Editor, 1911. I think I’ll study Caesar to occupy my time, Oh ! How I’d like to “seize her”—the one I now call mine. This great man now I’ll study, and how he con- quered Gaul, But much rather would I now be out with her upon the mall. Oh! What’s the use of Caesar; what care I what he said? It’s tiresome learning of a man who years ago was dead. I'll shut him up within my desk; a hundred years he’ll stay, And 1 11 dream of my bliss when I walk home with — today. Elton F. Chase, 1913. Locals Welcome to our new teachers. Everybody in school was happy on Monday, Nov. 21, 1910. after Saturday the 19th. We now have a finished double quartet which is very successful under the direction of Miss Per- kins. The first period on Monday is found very use- ful for studying except when it is used for a lec- ture. “Babe” Marceau. our crack miler is making a name for himself at Dartmouth. Mr. Hart, our worthy janitor is looking as healthy as ever. The Athletic Committee has been dissolved as its power has been taken up by the school com- mittee. We were all sorry to hear of the departure of Miss Chadbourue, Mr. Blazo and Mr. Wiess.

16 THE GOLDEN-ROD OCTOBER 14. 1910. The team played its first game away from home when it journeyed to Brockton and was defeated by the score of 9-0. Quincy was handicapped by an injury to'Captain Hill early in the game. The playing of Arthur. II. Chapman and Ilill was good. OCTOBER 22, 1910. The team took its second trip away from home going to Dedham and defeating that team by a score of 5-0. The feature was a run for a touch- down by Captain Ilill. OCTOBER 25. 1910. The seventh game of the season with South Boston High resulted in a splendid victory for Quincy by a score of 6-0. The pleasing part of the game was the return of .Manning to the team, after an enforced lay off. His run for thirty yards gave Quincy its only touchdown and en- abled it to win the game. OCTOBER 27, 1910. The team lost its second game of the season when it was defeated by Boston College High 5-0. The game was hard fought and much credit is due the Quincy team for the manner in which it held the heavy college team. NOVEMBER 1, 1910, The ninth game of the season with Hyde Park High resulted in a tie score 0-0, the game being called on account of darkness in the third period. The star men for Quincy were Ilill and Manning each making several long gains. NOVEMBER 8, 1910. Quincy annexed its seventh victory when East Boston High was defeated by a score of 21-0. The victory was largely due to the work of Hill, White, Manning and II. Chapman. NOVEMBER 11, 1910. The eleventh game of the season resulted in the same way as seven others have, namely in a vic- tory for Quincy, Ilingham High being defeated by a score of 13-0. The features were a touch- down by Pfaft’man and a goal from the field by II. Chapman. NOVEMBER 19, 1910. Quincy vs. Dorchester at Dorchester. During the week before this game the Quincy team was helped materially in the coaching de- partment by having Kersberg, an all American guard of two years ago, come out. He gave the team a good deal of much-needed coaching and on the day before the game, gave the team a lec- ture. On the day of the game the team went to Dorchester and was followed by the largest cheer- ing squad of students ever accompanying a Quin- cy team, nearly three hundred in number. The game was played under very favorable condi- tions, and for the first time in the school’s history Captain Hill’s team came home with a victory by the score of 11-0. The victory was well earned, as every member of the team played in top notch form, there being no individual stars. This vic- tory ended one of the most successful football seasons Quincy High ever had. The team has won 9, lost 2. and tied 1. Much credit is due Captain Ilill for this success, as he has played a star game all the season and has aided materially in coaching the team. The other players, Man- ning, II. Prout, II. Chapman, Blackmur. Harmon, Rice, Arthur, Johnson, Tirrell, Smith, Holmes, Pfaffman, Church, White, Edwards, W. Cran- shaw, R. Cranshaw and Anderson, have had much to do with the success of the team, and it is hoped that they all will be given a rousing foot- ball reception. Three cheers and a tiger for every member of Captain Hill’s championship team. • » Captains and Managers for teams of 1910: Football—Captain—II. Hill. Manager—P. Blackmur. Basket Ball—Captain W.

18 THE GOLDEN-ROD We all congratulate Harold Gore “ ’08” on the great showing he has made with the Massachu- setts Aggies, this fall and know he will continue it next fall. The class of 1910 is poorly represented here this year, there being only two girls and one boy. The football team showed its mettle at Dorches- ter and Captain Hill should be heartily congratu- lated. Herbert .Johnson ’12 was elected captain of next year’s football team on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 1910. Since hairdressing is not allowed in the girls’ basement, one of the post-graduates has equipped her desk with a mirror. “Who’s next?” We sincerely hope that something will be done to relieve the financial strain on athletics. Harry Kersburg, the ex-IIarvard and all America guard, Gardner, Beattie. Reynolds and Kennard of the Harvard freshman team, who coached our team two days during the week of the Dorchester game, deserve a large part of the credit for our victory. The present basket-ball schedule is the best seen at the school in years, and we look for a very successful year under the direction of Captain “Bill” Manning. Mr. Holbrook, as a means of helping the stu- dents who intend to take up teaching as a voca- tion, gives each Wednesday up for a lesson taught by one of the students.
