THE GOLDEN-ROD 14 Nov. 22, 1913. The last and most important game of the season was played at Waltham, Waltham winning 25—0. Quincy played its hardest and did well to hold its strong opponents to 25 points. Only one touchdown was scored in the first half. At one time it looked as though Quincy was going down the field for a touchdown but when the ball was on the 25 yd. line somebody was penalized 15 yds. and the ball was lost on the next play when Waltham re- covered a forward pass. Johnson scored all 4 touchdowns for Waltham. Many successful forward passes were made by Waltham, especi- ally towards the last, when the Quincy team was played out. Fagan’s punts were a feature. On Friday evening, Dec. 5, 1913, the football squad was tendered a reception by the girls of the two upper classes. The following were awarded their letter: 1st team Q’s, Capt Young, Foy, Jenkins, White, Hamlin, Schenkelberger, Larkin, Page, Murphy, Browne, Jepson, Mullen, Smith, Crosscup, Coughlin, Reardon, and Mgr. MacAnarney; 2nd team Q’s. Creedon, Crocker. Gay, Gelotte, Rice, and Sanborn. Dancing was enjoyed until 10.30 by the three upper classes. The football squad wishes to extend its sin- cerest thanks to the committee: Louise Wilson, (chairman). Florence Crowell, Margaret Magee, Dorothy Kitson, Louise Churchill, Gladys Du- Plessis. and Marion Wilson.

Thanks to Mr. Collins, who paid the expenses, the second team was able to play a practice game with Thayer Academy. The former won 20—0. During the past season Capt. Young has covered himself with glory, both as a leader and as a player. Score: Waltham 25, Quincy 0. Touchdowns Johnson 4. Goal from touchdown, Fagan. Umpire Ingalls. Referee, Laughlin.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 13 not a touchdown but only a touchback. The decision was made against us and consequently Cambridge won the game. The teams were very evenly matched Quincy's line being perhaps a little the better although Cambridge had the superior bnckfield. There were no particular stars, the whole team playing together well. In the second period by recovering one of their own punts, Cambridge was able to score a touch- down. Porter being the one to carry the ball over. The line up was: CAMBRIDGE Jones, le Ward.

Touchdowns were made by Page (2) Browne, Hamlin, and Mullen. Ham- lin kicked 2 goals. Score: Quincy 32, Dedham 0. Oct, 24, 1913. South Boston High was badly beaten at Merrymount oval. Because the ball was wet and slippery, frequent fumbling marked the work of both sides. Quincy was again a great infringer on the rules and was penalized over 100 yards. The features of the game were a 45 yard forward pass from Larkin to Browne and a 35 yard run for a touchdown by Larkin. Mullen, Jepson. and Larkin played well for Quincy. Skayhan for South Boston. Score: Quincy 24. South Boston 0. Oct. 31. 1913. Quincy defeated Brockton in the annual game 19—7. There was great in- terest in tin game, first, because the two schools are old rivals and second, because Arthur Staff, a former Quincy High coach, had charge of the Brockton eleven. Brockton's fumbling twice resulted in a touchdown for Quincy. Quincy worked its delayed pass to good advantage es- pecially when near the goal line. The feature was a 70 yard run by J. Hickey of Brocktm. Quincy’s touchdowns were scored by Jepson, Coughlin, and Mullen. Hamlin kicked one! goal.

Quincy’s heavier and stronger team, defeated the speedier Melrose team at Mer- rymount oval 13—0. Hunter proved to be the mainstay of Melrose’s attack and would often break through the line for gains of 15 or 20 yards. The ball was in Melrose territory most of the time and only once did they threaten our goal. The touchdowns were made by Murphy and Larkin. White kicked one goal. Nov. 15, 1913. The most loosely played game of the season was played at Revere when Quincy triumphed 13—10. Quincy’s touchdowns were due to luck, both being made by recovering a fumble. Young scored the first and Hamlin the second. Reardon kicked one goal. White and Jenkins played well for Quincy.

A TRAGEDY She stood upon the threshold And gazed into the room, The darkening night had lent to it An atmosphere of gloom. For there upon the carpet, Stained a dark and murky red, A hatchet lay, its gory blade Appeared as though it bled. Some crime, no doubt ’twas murder, Had been committed here, The awful thought of which had filled Her trembling heart with fear. At last she turned around and said, “Oh, goodness! Won’t I catch it; I opened the tomato can, With father’s nice new hatchet.” Andrew Deane 1914.
