32 THE CHIMES BOYS ' ATHLETICS Lawrence Gates, ' 37 FOOTBALL The 1936 season opened with high hopes for a successful year. But the hope for new-found prestige on the gridiron was not realized until Scituate had lost to both Cohasset and Hanover in hard-fought battles. After these two setbacks, the team was rearranged, and two freshmen were placed in the guard positions. From this point on, Scituate showed some of the football they were capable of, by winning three out of the last four games. These last four games were characterized by some of the finest foot- ball any Scituate team has played. In each game the Scituate team scored quickly, either by means of one of MacAlpine ' s crashing line bucks or by means of the air with one of Foniri ' s perfect passes. The Scituate team played their last game before their largest crowd, and although they lost, it was a real game from beginning co end. The future is brightened by the prospect of new material and the re- turn of a number of men who have received real experience in a hard season. The lettermen were Captain H. Walsh, Manager A. Damon, A. MacAl- pine (Captain-elect), R. Chessia, E. Dorr, A. Foniri, L. Gates, S. Gates, H. Joyce, E. Nichols, D. Queeney, W. Sexton, T. Sorenson, J. Vinal, J. White, A. ZoUin, H. Hands. The scores were as follows: Scituate 6 — Cohasset 13 Scituate 12 — Foxboro 0 Scituate 0 — Hanover 32 Scituate 13 — Holbrook 6 Scituate 6 — Dighton 0 Scituate 6 — Marshfield 12 Not So Good Head Clerk: I am very sorry to hear of your partner ' s death. Would you like me to take his place? Manager: Very much, if you can get the undertaker to arrange it.
