B sKet Ba.II - 1923 The 1923 basketball season opened with a rush. Coach Clark, however, received a handicap when several letter men failed to report. Out of thirty boys thirteen were picked. These were: Maskilieson, Listman, Jacobson. Olsen, Cole, allce, Sjorstrom, Anderson, Cliffe. Berman, Mil- ford, Thompson, Mowbray and Bassett. Cole was substituted for Guinan. who BRAINTREE 17; QUINCY 34 Quincy beat Braintree by a large mar- gin. At the end of the first half the score was 13-4 in Quincy's favor. Braintree was puzzled by our passing but in the last half ran their score to 17. Listman. Jacobson, and Maskilieson starred for Quincy. REX ERE 29; QUINCY 18 Quincy suffered defeat at the hands of Revere. Our boys were handicapped by the small gym. During the last half the first .string men were released, and the second team finished the game. STOUGHTON 26; QUINCY 30 Two days later our boys took the strong Stoughton team into camp. It was Quincy’s head work that enabled us to win. This game was one of the cleanest our boys have ever played. During the second half, things were breaking for Quincy when the referee’s whistle blew. ROCKLAND 23; QUINCY 22 Rockland has always had a strong team and this year was no exception. In the first half Quincy was asleep, but dur- ing the second half came to life and came within an ace of winning. played his last game for Q. H. S. against Braintree. Olson was given the other position as back. With Jacobson again playing center, and Listman and Maski- lieson, forwards, it looked like a promising season. Mr. Clark got his squad into shape, and the first game was played with Braintree, January 6, 1923. ABINGTON 27: QUINCY 30 This game was the fastest and cleanest played on Quincy’s floor this season. It was a nip and tuck affair from start to finish. Listman was shifted to center in place of Jacobson, while Thompson and MacLeod, who played forwards, put the game on ice for Quincy. WALPOLE 7; QUINCY 28 In a slow and uninteresting game Quincy beat Walpole. The game was marked with many poor passes on both sides. In the second half Coach Clark replaced part of the varsity team with second string men. SOMERX ILLE 17; QUINCY 16 Somerville won this game from Q. H. S. by hard and “heady” playing. Several times the score was tied, but our boys failed to get even with their opponents at the last of the game. ROCKLAND 17: QUINCY 14 Quincy played a splendid game con- sidering Rockland’s small gym. Listman and Jacobson played a fine game, while the backs helped to keep Rockland’s score down.

18 THE GOLDEN-ROD REVERE 15; QUINCY 29 Revere received a beating from Quincy on the home floor. The game was played at a furious pace and Quincy’s passing was excellent. Many clever passes on Reverc’s team were broken up by Cliffc, Cole, and Sjorstrom. Jacobson out- jumped the opposing center almost every time. Listman played a splendid game, while “Tooey” Maskilieson’s playing was a revelation, his fouls being almost per- fect. It was Quincy’s head work that netted us the game. MILTON ACADEMY 16; QUINCY 14 Milton Academy defeated Quincy by a close score. The gym at Milton was larger than the ordinary size and the boys were hindered, but in spite of this the Academy boys won by only one basket. STOUGHTON 15; QUINCY 28 Quincy pinned defeat once more on Stoughton. Next to the Abington game, this was the fastest and cleanest played on the gvm floor. Listman and Maski- liescn starred for Quincy. ABINGTON 28; QUINCY 14 Abingtcn administered a beating to the home team by superior skill. Maskilieson was unable to play on account of injuries. Yallee and Sjorstrom played well, while Mbi” Jacobsen was Quincy’s shining light. BRAINTREE 14; QUINCY 35 Our boys met Braintree on their own floor and had a comparatively easy time in downing them. The game was rather a one-sided affair. Listman and Jacob- son scored for Quincy. TROOP-5 5; QUINCY-2nd 23 The last game of the season was played between Subs and Troop 5. Milford, Yallee, and “Kid” Sjorstrom were in the limelight, while Fuller did most of the playing for the Scouts. Quincy played fourteen games, winning eight and losing six. This is a fairly good record, in fact much better than last year’s. Among the Subs and Second team there is good material for a strong team next year. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Clark, who coached the team and worked with the boys throughout the season.
