28 THE GOLDEN-ROD than ever, and Bennett undoubtedly will use to the best advantage all the veteran material available. HOCKEY On December tenth Mr. Mitchell called out candidates for the hockey team. About thirty fellows responded. Mr. Mitchell has kindly consented to act as coach for the hockey team and under his leadership we hope to have a very fast team. He talked briefly on the fundamentals and rules of the game and gave the boys several ideas of how the game should be played. The seven-man team will be used. After the various inter-class games have been held, the best players will be picked for a school team and other schools will be challenged. FRESHMEN' 1 — SOPHOMORES 1 January 6. 1920. The two lower classes played the first game in the inter- class hockey championship series on Butler’s Pond before a large crowd. Armstrong scored for the Sophs at the close of the first half. Heap tied the score in the second half. Guynen and Dingwell played well for the Freshmen. Armstrong’s and especially Randall’s fast work for the Sophs was the feature of the game. The lineup: FRESHMEN SOPHOMORES Dingwell r-g- Hussey Guynen c. Randall Kenney r. Jones LaCroix 1-g- Coombs Heap c.p. Ferguson White P- Rankin Keating g- Armstrong JUNIORS 1 — SENIORS 0 January 16. The Juniors defeated the Seniors 1 to 0 in a very close hockey game on Butler’s Pond. The Seniors experienced some hard luck when they shot the puck through their own goal by an accidental shot. Otherwise, the puck was kept well in the Junior territory throughout the game. Davis played an excellent game for the Juniors, and Mullarkey and Shync featured for the Seniors.

Judging from the attendance at the first few games and the enthusiasm shown, this indoor sport will be as popular as ever. Mr. Xissen of the faculty has been se- cured as coach, and he has arranged a schedule whereby there are, on an average, two games every week. These games will be continued through March and on the twenty-sixth of that month the two class teams having the highest percentage will contend for the cham- pionship title. The following basket- ball captains have been elected: Johnson for the Seniors; Leavitt, Juniors; and Dodge, Sophomores. These captains and their followers will undoubtedly provide some interesting sport during the season. JUNIORS 17 — SENIORS 12 January 16. In the first basketball game of the season, the Junior five de- feated the Seniors 17 to 12. The Seniors had the upper hand in the first half when they led 8 to 7. In the second half, the Juniors, by united team work, scored over their opponents and won the game. Johnson and Carter played well for the Seniors. Jenkins and Davis per- formed well for the winners.

The Juniors defeated the Seniors in one of the most interest- ing and exciting games of the whole season. Class rivalry ran high; both Juniors and Seniors held each other in contempt and did not hesitate to show it. Cheering squads were in evidence during the game. The Junior cheering section was led by Larry Leavitt, who, unfortunately for the Juniors, was out of the game with a broken arm. Through- out the game the ball was very erratic, sometimes dangerously near the Senior goal and at other times threatening the Juniors’. In the first quarter Carter, a Senior, instead of making a punt, made a spectacular 35-yard run. The Juniors regained the ground lost; but then Mullarkey recovered a fumble and again headed the ball toward the Junior goal. The Seniors were not strong enough, however, to hold their ground, for at the close of the first half the ball was on the Senior five-yard line. In the last quarter matters took a bad turn for the Seniors. Bennett blocked a punt and gained thirty yards. Jenkins gained twenty more yards by a forward pass; and Went- worth settled the argument by making a twenty-five yard run for the touchdown. Crowell, Mullarkey, and Jackson for the Seniors, and Bennett, Davis, and Jenkins for the Juniors, played an ex- cellent game. The lineup: JUNIORS Eaton l.e. SENIORS Hokenson Bennett l.t.

Curtis JUNIORS 12 SOPHOMORES 0 December G. The Juniors clinched the school championship title in football by defeating the Sophomores 12 to 0. The Juniors used their second team in the first half. By strong line plunging the Juniors advanced to their opponent’s five yard line, when the whistle blew for the end of the quarter. In the second quarter, the Sophomores gained forty- yards by forward-pass plays but outside of that the ball was held dangerously near the Sophomore goal. The regular Junior team came on the field in the second half and they easily outplayed the Sophs. Aerial attacks featured the second half. Robertson scored the first touchdown for the Juniors by a forward pass, and Jenkins increased the score by six in the same way. Barstow and Mc- Govern on the line, and Rankin and Armstrong in the backfield played well for the Sophomores. Jenkins, Davis, Bennett, and Wentworth, all veterans, featured for the Juniors. Quincy had the honor of having two of its best football players, Leavitt and Jackson, chosen by the Boston Globe for the all-star Greater Boston scholastic eleven. Donald Bennett was re-elected foot- ball captain for 1920. Prospects for a powerful team next season are brighter
