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.

Our half-mile star, Russell Chap- man, broke the tape in 13m 30s£ fol- lowed by Baltzer, Capt. Shultz and Gil- man, respectively. The mosj uistinctive “blow up” of the meet was Capt. Chase of Stoneham. Expecting to set the pace, he proved rather a disappointment by fin- ishing eighth. tiated a two and one-half mile course.
