Every game has been well fought and exciting. This year’s team is as follows: Quincy High opened its football season by losing to Newton, Sept. 18, at Newton by a score of 3-0. It was one of the best and hardest fought games our team hais ever played with Newton. The wonderful stonewall defense of Coach Mitchell’s “Granite City” eleven held the “Garden City” eleven from scoring at least three times when in the danger zone. Our team at times displayed good drives, and it made substantial gains, but could not get within scoring distance. The only score was made in the last period when Spain of Newton dropped back and kicked the ball between the up- rights, scoring for Newton the three points by which they beat us. Among those who watched the game were Captain Clement Coady of the Harvard varsity eleven, and Charles Line- ham, the Harvard scout. Quincy High players appeared in their new jerseys, which are blue with white numbers, and their stockings, which are also blue with white stripes. Everyone who attended the game saw a good brand of football and went away satisfied. Boston English 10—Quincy 7 No. Player 1. Dud Foy, Capt. 2. Jack Sharkey 3. Eaton 4. Bert MacLeod 5. Freeman 6.

Quincy High School Bradford Library THE GOLDEN-ROD 27 agcmcnt from the cheering section the ball was carried for a touchdown and the extra point added. The team as a whole played good foot- ball. There were, of course, a few breaks for both teams, which is usually the way in all games. English High received its break when a punt was fumbled and lost by Quincy, which proved fatal. Toward the end of the game Quincy High secured its break when English High fumbled and the ball was recovered by a Quincy play- er, which started a march for a touch- down. Both sides had a cheering section to help encourage the players to fight and win. Melrose 7—Quincy 0 Quincy High received its third defeat of the season from Melrose, October 2, at Melrose. Acting Captain McGrane won the toss and chose to kick off. After an exchange of punts Melrose gained possession of the ball in midfield and then with a couple of successful end runs put the ball on the 15-yard line. After a few unsuccessful attempts to dent Quincy’s line, a short pass from Sherman to Giovini carried the ball over for a touchdown. Peter, the Melrose quarterback, kicked the ball over for the extra point. Quincy again kicked off and with another exchange of punts the quarter ended. At the beginning of the second quarter Quincy recovered a fumble and after sev- eral successful off-tackle plays, attempted a drop kick which failed. In the third quarter neither side gained although Quincy kept the ball in Melrose territory. In the fourth quarter, with the ball on the 50-vard line, Quincy started a march down the field. A pass from Cameron to Reynolds netted a good gain. Then two more short passes from Cameron to Le- Cain brought the ball to the 15-vard line just as the game ended.

Quincy 13—Arlington 0 Quincy High won its first victory of the season by defeating the strong Arling- ton eleven at Pfaffman’s Oval on Satur- day, October 9th. The first quarter was mostly a period of exchanging punts. Carroll of Arling- ton got away for a gain of eight yards, but on the next play a bad pass nullified that gain and Arlington punted to Quincy. Dcehan carried the ball a few yards, then wisely punted. The rest of the quarter nothing of great excitement happened. In the second quarter Quincy rippedj?—Q off gains, varying from eight to ten yards, in a steady march down the field, and Le- Cain went over for a touchdown, Dcehan (J J then kicked the extra point. During the first part of the second half Quincy again started a march with Le- Cain featuring in a thirty-yard run. With the ball in the shadows of the Arlington goal posts, a forward pass was intercept- ed by an Arlington player, and the ball was then kicked to midfield. In the last quarter with the ball in Quincy’s possession, Deehan received a nasty gash under the right eye, but game- ly continued playing until he had carried across Quincy’s second touchdown. The kick for the extra point was blocked and the game soon ended.
