The Pioneer Page Twenty Reading defeated the strong Milton team, 17-12, in a fast and well-played game. The playing of Gibbons and MacLeod was the feature. Saturday, Jan. 20, Lynn Classical played here, and Reading easily de¬ feated them, 60-16. Stembridge and MacLeod starred. At this time individual stars can not be chosen, as all the boys are playing well, and with credit to the school. ROMEO MICH ELINI, ’12, Sporting Editor.
