28 THE GOLDEN-ROD 3 200 pounds, did the most rushing and gaining for the winners, while Bert Mac- Leod did the same for Quincy. In the first quarter a thirty-yard run by Blenus S a and a punt put the ball on Quincy’s goal line. Dechan then kicked the ball to mid- field where it stayed the rest of the period. The next quarter, with the good sup- port of the team, Blenus was able to carry the ball over for a touchdown. O’Keefe then kicked the ball for what proved to be the winning point. The following period the men of Mitch began to rally. A pass from Reardon to Bert MacLeod brought the ball up the field for twenty yards. A few more rushes with Bert MacLeod squirming beautifully and shaking off eager tacklers, consider- able yardage was gained. With the won- (J derful support of the team “Joe” Rear- 32 don carried the ball over for a touchdown. The extra point which was badly needed was lost when Reardon’s kick was hur- ried. in Braintree’s territory. However, just before the half ended another march was . started and with Holmquist and ClossonS—) carrying it alternately, the ball was ad- vanced to the Braintree eight-yard line, where Holmquist carried it over on an off-tackle play. The point after the touchdown was missed by Zanotti. Throughout the second half Quincy 2nd had considerable trouble stopping the Braintree captain, Hedland, who starred both on the defense and the offense.

The team deserves much credit for its work. Quincy 2nd started out by making a determined march, only to lose the ball Quincy 2nd 7—Newton 2nd 0 The Quincy 2nd team defeated the Newton second at Pfaffman’s Oval, there- by keeping up their good record. Our team was especially strong on off- tackle plays with Holmquist carrying the ball usually. The team had so much fight that most of the Newton plays were stopped before the runner got underway. The touchdown was scored by Holm- quist after a brilliant twenty-yard run. The point was kicked by Zanotti. Others who starred for Quincy were Morse, left end; Hoyle, half back, who intercepted two long forwards, and Captain Baxter. The Quincy goal line was never in dan- ger, whereas Newton’s goal line was with- in reach most of the time.

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.
