Sept. 22- Richmond 6-Brunswick V.'s 0 Bennie Iones scored a fourth quarter touchdown just as time ran out. Cham- bers, Tarr, and Stevens made some great catches at their end spots, while Curtis and Houdlctte played a good defensive game. Sept. 29- Boothbay Harbor 14-Richmond 6 We just couldn't get started. We scored first but went down to defeat, against a team that was scrapping harder that day, than we were. Hinkleynand Curtis did some fine running but couldn't do it all. Stevens, Holman and Pickett were stand- outs on defense, X Oct. 7- Williams of Oakland 20-Richmond 6 We played on a good day, and our school band made its first appearance of the season at Lane Field for the game. Richmond finally broke the ice by a long pass from Dick Houdlette to Don Chambers in the final period. Carroll Curtis did some excellent running while Holman and Pickett were tops on defense. Oct. 13 - Hallowell 52 - Richmond 0 fPass the aspirin, please.j This was our last game of the season, and probably forever for five of us. Carroll Curtis played great ball on offense along with Don Chambers, who did some fine pass-catching. Holman, Raynes, and Harwood played fine defensive ball for us.

Richmond, under a new coach, Alex Somerville, had the fight, but not the weight. lust one starting backiield man was back from last year. The boys that played the last season from the senior class wish the teams to come, the best of luck.

Sept. l5- Winthrop 7-Richmond O Our first game was a shaky one but probably the best game we played. Inex- perience and being out-weighed were the things that toppled us. Charley Hinkley made the longest run of the day of 55 yards. Raynes, Stevens, and Carroll Curtis played a fine game of defense. Page Forty-eight

Iuniors: Charles Hinkley, lack Chambers, and Clinton Gilpatrick. Seniors: Richard Houdlette.

February 15th we played Hallowell at Winslow High and they had too much for our young ball club. We were beaten 61 to 28. Don with 8, and Gilly with 7, were high for us. Page Fifty
