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.

THE GOLDEN-ROD 19 Spring I5 Here Among youngsters, marbles are a sign of spring. In Q. H. S., when you hear the steady thump, thump, thump, of the shot put down in the gym you can be sure that spring is on its way, even if it is cold out- side. It looks as if Quincy would have a splendid track team, judging from the number of men ready to participate. Manager Young has already secured dates with Winthrop and Milton Academy. The manager has also conferred with Somerville, Thayer, and Rindge Tech. These schools all have strong teams. For the past three weeks the high jumpers, broad jumpers, shot putters and sprint- ers have been practising for the fray. On March 5th an inter-class track meet was held at the Y. M. C. A. Out of a total of 63 points the Juniors secured 33, the Seniors 25, and the Sophs 5. Ernest Vallee, was the star of the meet, taking part in several events, and he got two firsts, one second place, and a third. The summary of events: One Lap Race—MacLeod ’24, Vallee ’24, Kimball ’24, all tied for first—time 7 seconds; Renton ’23, time 7 1-5 seconds. Three Lap Race—MacLeod ’24, Vallee ’24, tied for first—time, 21 seconds; Ren- ton ’23, time, 21 3-10 seconds. Seven Lap Race—Renton ’23, time 56 seconds. Kimball ’24, time 57 1-10 sec- onds. Vallee ’24, time, 57 1-10 seconds. Short Put—R. Cook ’24, distance. 32 feet. Herb. Listman ’24, distance, 31 feet 9 1-4 inches. Allan Cole ’23, distance, 31 feet, 6 inches. A CHALLENGE TO EVERY BOY AND GIRL IN THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASSES From May 14 to 18 an All-Student track meet is being held by the M. H. S. A. A. at the Oval. Girls as well as boys are eligible to compete, and at least 80 per cent of the Junior and Senior classes must take part, to be eligible for the State Awards and Cups. Let’s make this a big success! Spring is coming, and on its gentle breezes is wafted to us the first sign of baseball. It won’t be long now before the call for candidates will be echoing over the diamond and the boys will go down to spend their afternoons learning how to put old Q. H. S. on the baseball map of 1923. We have but a handful of letter men as a nucleus for the team. “Ted” Guinan. our crack first baseman, is now languish- ing in the wilds of New Jersey; George Thompson, our snappy short stop, has graduated, and Jerry Hughes, our south- paw twirler, left a few weeks ago. Our letter men to start the season are “Ed” Jacobson, who will without doubt come in from the field and take over the mound; supporting him behind the bat will be “Mac” MacLeod, with “Kid” Siorstrom an able second. “Tommy” Maskilieson will, as of yore, be on the job on the hot corner, while “Art” Piis- panen will hold down second. Out of last year’s candidates we shall have for short- stop Payson and Gould. “Jimmy” Brown will have a good chance in the out field. We need fielders this season, and hope to have plenty of material for the outer regions. First base is open to all comers, and ’tis whispered that a promising youngster in the Junior class, who has been shy and bashful up to this year, will try out for the first stop in the cir- cuit. Q. H. S. will turn out a good nine this season. Coach Mitchell will see to that, but the thing that is deplorably weak is our cheering section. We need and we want every student in Quincy High who has any school spirit in him at all, down at the field at every game, to yell his head off for Quincy. A team cannot play without some incentive, and the in- centive is you and your voice. Newton will be out here May 2nd. We made a good impression in football; don’t let that impression fade. The team will be there to the last ditch, and let us be able to say that of our cheering section.
