ANCHOR 8: WHEEL . A AA - Junior Varsity Football ISY virtue of their exceptional coaching ability Mr. Halsted and Mr. Peek rounded out of twenty-five unpromising, but willing, would-be football players a team that out of eight games won five, lost two, and tied one, to finish third in the Maryland Junior Var- sity League. The J.V's got off to a good start, defeating Poly by a score of 13-0. St. Paul, in the next game, put up a stubborn battle and the final score was 6-6. City College fell easy prey to the B Squadders, as well as Mount St. Joseph and also Forest Park. McDonogh and Gilman, however, proved too strong and marked the only two defeats of the season. The climax of the schedule came in the last game when Severn defeated the strong team from Landon High in Washington. This game was put on ice in the second quarter this year and ended with the Landon team on the short end of a 14-0 score. Probably the most interesting, as well as the most exciting, game of the season was the Gilman game. The strong Gilman team scored their total of 14- points in the first few minutes of the first quarter. Then the Severn team settled down and held that line. The second quarter found the Gilman boys on the defensive with Severn rushing constantly nearer their goal. In the third quarter Severn scored, but the try for extra point failed. The fourth quarter ended with the ball deep in Gilman territory, the score 141-6. The B Squad made another good showing, completed a success- ful season, to everyone's hearty approval without a casualty.

ANCHOR 81 WHEEL I n.. , ' i SWAVELY vs. SEVERN est Park. The visitors came here primed to win. They did succeed in holding Severn to 12-0 score. Now came the big blow to Severn's championship hopes. Under the arc lights they played Poly, and went down to disastrous de- feat. It seemed like another Swavely game-nothing would go right. Perhaps the kicking of Poly's backfield ace was the main reason for our defeat - we lost twenty yards every time he kicked. Although the score was 23-0 against us, we made more yardage and more first downs than our opponents. Following this came the final defeat of the season, by a remark- ably strong team from McDonogh. Although the final score was Q8-7 it was a very close game, and only inexperience held Severn from victory. VVe scored our first touchdown in three minutes of play, and although we were frequently in scoring territory we lacked the necessary punch. We visited Mt. St. Joseph and played them on their practice field. The first half was scoreless, but Severn supremacy was apparent in the second half when we scored a touchdown and a safety to win 8-0. In the final game of the year, Severn played the St. James School. The field was covered with water, and the game was played in the rain, making things very uncomfortable for all. St. James scored early in the game but Severn pushed over a touch- down and conversion to win 7-6.

ANCHOR 8: WHEEL g Al- 1 . . -I-'ff 'I 'I .f 13 0-Pound Football THE 130 candidates reported for football practice the latter part of September. They came out regularly, with high ambitions to annex the championship in this division for the fifth consecutive season. After several weeks of practice an inexperienced team met and defeated Forest Park thirty to swabo. The following week the team traveled to Gilman School and won another victory by a score of twenty-six to swabo. During the next few weeks the team showed steady improvement and were now ready to meet their rival, lNIcDonogh School. Severn team played McD0nogl1 School on a field of mud. The result was a touchdown and a safety for eight points in favor of the Cadets. During the next few weeks the team was busy getting ready for the last game of the season. Gilman came to Severna Park and the Severn team came out ahead on a twelve to zero tally. Severn's team was ready to put up a great fight for the cham- pionship. McDonogh School was to be the contestant in this fray. If Severn won, there would be a tie for championship honors and if they lost, hIcDonogh would gain the trophy. The rivalry between the two teams was intense. When the final whistle blew, Severn's team led thirteen to six. The team as a unit should be congratulated on their fighting spirit and determination to practice in order to have a good team. A large part of the success goes to our coach, hlr. De Bell.
