30 THE CHIMES BOYS ' ATHLETICS Angelo Foniri, ' 39 FOOTBALL Before the football season began, the prospect of a good year was not very promising. There were many positions to be filled, but this did not worry Coach Stewart. A large number of boys, many of whom had never jilayed football, attended the first practice session. These boys more than made up for their lack of experience by their great enthusiasm and hard work. Each week showed further development of a good team. E (nyone knows the rest of the story; these young and inexperienced boys went out to win the South Shore Championship with an impressive record of five victories and one tie. The starting line-up consisted of seven seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore. The first game against Cohasset proved to be a heartbreaker. The team pushed Cohasset all over the field but were unable to cross the goal line. Scituate had to be satisfied with a tie, as the Cohasset jinx still pre- vails over the Scituate team. One of the most exciting games of the season was played with Ran- dolph. This game was won in the fourth quarter, by a blocked kick by Paul Harrigan which resulted in a safety and two points, the final score being 2 to 0 in favor of Scituate. With the South Shore Championship at stake, the boys played inspired football to defeat Marshfield by a score of 7 to 6 on Thanksgiving Day before the largest crowd of the season. The season was marked by the fine defensive play of Zollin, Dorr, and Gates, mainstays for the last two seasons, and the ball-carrying by Schultz, Duffey and Anderson.
