SCHOOL ACTIVITIES BOYS’ BASKETBALL Holding closely to the maxim that “To the victor belong the spoils, the Reading High Basketball team did not walk away with many material spoils this last season, but the team played aggressively all through the season upholding the traditional spirit that has been characteristic of many Reading teams whether glorying in victory or bearing up under defeat. We had some very good material this year but lost several close decisions which did not dishearten the players notice¬ ably. The results of this year’s encounters were as follows: Reading Opponents Reading 26 Reading Alumni 27 Reading 25 Stoneham 16 Reading 31 Melrose 10 Reading 7 Winchester 22 Reading 16 Woburn 36 Reading 17 Wakefield 24 Reading 15 Lexington 23 Reading 22 Belmont 25 Reading 17 Stoneham 19 Reading 25 Gloucester 36 Reading 11 Winchester 24 Reading 20 Wakefield 44 Reading 10 Lexington 14 Reading 12 Belmont 15 Captain Bowers is to be congratulated on his ag¬ gressive spirit and unusual degree of co-operation in willingly shifting to nearly every position on the team in an effort to make things run more smoothly. John Bowers, Clifford Holt, Kenneth Ives, Richard Preston, Alex Williamson, Sheldon Schofield, Edward Michalosky, John Ainsworth, Earl Hobart were chosen as lettermen for their outstanding spirit, aggressiveness, and playing ability. These letter men elected Edward Michalosky as captain for the basketball season of 1935. “Mike” should make a popular and successful captain from all forerunners and reports. May he meet with a greater success than his less fortunate teammates of this season. This year’s managers were, for the Seniors, Earl Ho¬ bart, with Parker Kimball, Larry Cate, and Fred Kenny as underclass assistants. Edgar Haselton ’34 BASEBALL At the time of writing, the Reading High School baseball team has suffered four decisive setbacks. In the first game, the fast Concord aggregation touched up our pitchers for a total of 11 hits, which netted 18 runs. Half of these were scored on errors. Belmont walked away with the second game, the final score being Belmont 14, Reading 2. At Winchester, our boys played a good game, hut the fact that the opponent w r as allowed to run wild on the bases placed Reading on the short end of a 7 to 4 result. The Stoneham game was loosely played throughout, both teams making frequent errors. The Stoneham runners seemed to he able to steal at will. The final score was Stoneham 15, Reading 11. The Winchester game showed that the team has pos¬ sibilities. Mr. Downes, we have heard, contemplates making a few changes in the line-up. There is no doubt but that the morale and general efficiency of the team will be materially improved thereby, and we can expect them to win a substantial percentage of the remaining games. This year’s line-up comprises: Capt. “Dan” Barrett, 3b “Peewee” White, ss Sheldon Schofield, If “Bill McCarthy, lb Roily Hatch, cf “Don” Peters, c “Normy” White, 2b Wilbur Nutter, p Ronald DePatie, rf Ross Madden, p Harold Doucette, P. G. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS In the fall of 1933 the gym classes participated in several sports including field hockey, which has not been played for two years. Owing to weather conditions, Wilmington was the only team with whom we played. The score was 3—0 in favor of the visiting team. During the winter three class basketball teams were in action. Carnes were played with Wilmington, Win¬ chester, and Lexington. The Sophomores won two of their games, and the Juniors won two games, and the Seniors won two games. The 1934 tennis tournament opened with last year’s victors, and stiff opposition is expected of the approxi¬ mately 50 girls competing. Letters are awarded to girls who take part in two sports during the year. The pupils scheduled to receive letters were as follows: P. Eisenhaure P. Wormell E. Leach K. Cummings M. Parker B. Sawyer A. Doiron I. Norton W. Grant 0. Bates E. Bryden A. Olson Numerals earned by appearing at all practices and playing in all games, were awarded to the following: B. Jewett D. Holden M. Leary A. Stewart L.
