Three straight victories climaxed a series of nine well-played games by our Reading High football squad. Led by our spirited captain, Bob White, the Rockets displayed not only their sound gridiron sense, but also their customary good sportsmanship. Reading's Rocket of victory was slightly hindered in its take-off during the first game with Wakefield, where our team was shaded by a score of 8-7. However, after practice runs with Concord and Bel- mont, where RHS secured only a tie, the Rockets under full power seared the Methuen Badgers l8-O. Due to the fleetfootedness of halfbacks Eddie Wen- dell, Joe Long, Ronnie Beighley and full- back Bob White, the Rockets' ultimate vic- tory was assured in the early stages of the game. Ronnie Beighley's sixty-yard run sparked our squad in their next venture, a victory over Melrose. Throughout the contest, the offensive and defensive plays of Ed Don- ley, Don Tompkins and Peter Stevenson proved to be an asset to our team. Not wanting to break out of this winning groove, Bob White streaked sixty yards for a touchdown in the next game, against the Lexington Minute Men. Skip Rooney, Billy Tilley, and Herb Batchelder showed Lexington that they weren't taking a back seat as far as defensive abilities were concerned. All three disrupted the Lexing- ton line by their alert blocks and timely defensive tackles. To lace up the season the Rockets came up with a 7-6 victory over Stoneham in the Thanksgiving Day game. Ronnie Deferrari, with his first period touchdown, and Jack Conway, with his ever-faithful toe, clinched the game. Throughout the season Coach Hollingsworth was well pleased with the drive and spirit of his team. No boys anywhere in the U. S. A. have
