f' Y ,. v ., I -5 .AW X 45- ANCHOR 81 WHEEL Varsity Wrestling THIS year the Varsity lvrestling Squad was blessed with only one experienced boy who transferred to the Maroons from Gilman. Necessarily a building-up program with emphasis on fundamentals was employed by the coaching staff. Captain R. H. VVoods named Mr. Frank Games and Mr. Harry lNIacHamer to coach the wrestlers. During the first two meets, with City College and Polytechnic of Baltimore, the Severn mat team outlook was discouraging. However, against St. Paul in a practice meet the results of training became manifest. The following week against McDonogh the squad displayed the best performance of the season. However, the last two bouts assured the Cadets of a Q0-13 victory. On February 25, the Interscholastic meet was held at Gilman. The display of skill and keen competitive spirit made the meet very successful. McDonogh annexed the title from Gilman who held it for nine consecutive years. The Severn wrestlers took third place. Severn placed seven boys in the finals of the Interscholastic. Captain Gosnell lost to VVoods of McDonogh. Brown lost the final to a Gilman boy but took second in his weight against llc-Donogh. Jubb threw Hendricks of McDonogh. McMaster gained a time advantage over Polytechnic. Beside these events we give credit to the following boys for their good work during the season: Baker, Maguire, Bowen, Higgins, Turner, Garrett, Lellourgeois and Edrington.

. -i ,,...:,i .. .5 ANCHQR .sr WHEEL 'XX are . Varsity Soccer AFTER a few weeks' heavy practice the green Severn team opened the soccer season by journeying to McDonogh and losing the opening tilt by the score of 4-2. The Maroon and White consist- ently outplayed the veteran Cadets, but lacked the ability to score. Time and again our team would take the ball up the field only to overshoot the goal. McDonogh earned their tallies by rebounds, and a sure booting club. Two days after the holidays we were hosts for the strong Poly team. We held this experienced outfit to a single goal in the first quarter, but Poly broke through to win by the score of 5-0. Our next guest was City. We held them to a 3-0 score. This was the first game in which our booters really clicked. St. Joe was next in line, and they departed from Severna Park on the long end of a 1-0 win. The score indicates very little. Although our opponents put up a good fight. we kept the ball almost all the time. but lacked the punch to place the ball between the uprights. Forest Park was our next victim when they dropped a close game by a 3-1 score. Again we showed that we could keep up our winning streak. In the return game we defeated them 3-0. The green and white men put up a good fight but could not hold off our smooth working forward line. In the final game of the season Gilman managed to hold us to a Q-2 tie. We scored too early after the opening whistle and this really kept us from winning the game.
