THK SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. '7 Games. SOMERVILLE HIGH, 58; NEWTON, 0. Somerville High defeated Newton in the first Junior League game of the season. It was not a very hard thing to do as the score will show. The Som- erville rush-line was changed about considerably, Stone being taken from his position behind the line and put at left tackle and Fitts put in at quarter. Somerville scored 24 points in the first half, the backs, Stone, Palmer and C. Pipe making brilliant runs. The New- ton line would not stand our plunges and gave way like so much paper. In the second half Somerville scored 34 points, bringing the total up to 58 to o. The whole team played well especially C. Pipe, who made almost innumerable long runs, aided by the good interfer- ence. SOMKRVILLK HIGH.

The Somervilles had every- thing their own way and “didn’t do a thing” to their opponents. Chelsea had some beefy men, but they lacked the sand of the Somerville players. One of the features of the game was Stone’s goal kicking, in which he drop- ped four from the field, missing but one. Somerville started the game in a rush and scored quickly. After this it was only a question as to how large they cared to make the score. Fitts ran his team with good judgment and was in every play. “Boat” Pipe showed that he was a nervy player and his work brought forth rounds of applause from the Somerville rooters. Cuddy also got in some fine runs and played a hard game. Cushman and Chandler played good defensive games and stopped every play that was directed against them. Coveney, Story and Pipe played the ends well. The team play have improved since the Newton game and their inter- ference was very hard to break up. S. II. CHKLSKA II.

Football, etc. Re sure to put your umbrella in the rack, and be sure to slide it into the next one and tear it. The new Radiator year has begun, and in order to make the paper a suc- cess the support of every student is needed. The stenography class was greatly eutertained by some singing down stairs not long ago It is hoped they will con- tinue to entertain us. Girls, don’t lean against the w ill be- tween the biological and chemical lab- oratories. There is one place that will suddenly give away with you. English 15 seems to have enjoyed “A Mid-summer Night’s Dream” to the ut- most. Their ending of the play cannot be surpassed. The boys especially are born actors. oo There must be yeast in the desk covers. Now that we have a class organization we must be thinking about a class pin and motto. Makechnie’s definition for the re- duplicated form in Latin : “That dou- bled up thing.” We wonder if Smith is a good con- versationist. He certainly has jjractice enough talking to himself. The Class of ’oo has been organized with the following officers : l’res., Geo. Rurgess ; Vice-Pres, Miss Helen Wal- dron ; Sec., Harry Stone; Treas., Her- bert Hale. A Wide Awake Club was organized less than a year ago, the greater part of whose members belong to the great and glorious Century Class. They have vis- ited so many of the surrounding places of historical interest that any sugges- tions for other pilgrimages will be gladly received by the vice-president of the Class of i960. ’01. Russel is a coming orator. Did you ever hear a mountain’s peak. Everyone’s question—“Did you get a note?” The school bored (board)—a lazy scholar. You ought to read one of Hovey’s “true” themes. After the class organization a class- pin should be selected. How patiently Rcethoven waits for the fifth period Wednesdays. Re sure and attend the games. Your presence will help the team along. Noble is candidate for class debater. Subject of first debate, “Mrs. Caudle.” The bass solos rendered by a member of Division A breaks the monotony of recitations.

IS THE SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 8 to o. Representatives of both teams were out in full force and made the air ring with their cheering. Capt. Cuddy was not able to play, but his place was well filled by Coveney. Stone acted as captain. Cotter and Stone did most of the line bucking for Somerville, while Roy Pipe made some brilliant runs of 25 and 30 yards around the ends. In the first half Cotter secured a touchdown. R. Pipe failed to kick goal. At the next kick-off Somerville rushed the ball up to Cambridge’s 12 yard line, but time was called before Somerville could push over. This game was considered very im- portant, as it showed whether Somer- ville was strong enough to go into the Senior league. It is certainly proved that we are. S. H. S. C. H. AM» LATIN.

Isn’t it about time to elect a captain and manager for the polo team? Stone and Cotter have returned to school and are putting up gilt-edged football. Somerville has shown up remarkably well but the boys ought to be coached individually more. Kimball, tackle on the second eleven, broke his finger in the Watertown game. Hard luck, “Run.” Coveney is playing a fine game at end. He tackles hard and follows the ball well. “Keep it up, Bill.” We arc glad to see “Doc” Holmes again this year as our coach and hope he will turn out a championship team. Fitts has shown up well at quarter- back. Ileuses good judgement in di- recting his plays and gets into the in- terference quickly. Cotter’s brilliant tackle which saved Somerville from being scored against by Cambridge was greatly applauded. “Dick” deserved it. During the first of the season Capt. Cuddy wrenched his knee very badly. This kept him out of the Cambridge High and Latin game. Captain Cuddy was discouraged dur- ing the first of the season by the small number of men who showed up for prac- tice. Don’t let it happen again. “Boat ” Pipe has been changed from quarter to half-back which he clearly shows to be his position. In the New- ton game his runs were very brilliant. Fitchburg High gave us our first de- feat Sept. 29, to the tune of 6 to 4. The Somerville boys are not satisfied with the result and think they can beat them yet. Now that the football season has re- turned let every one turn out and cheer for Somerville. This will help to put dash into the playing, and spur the team on to victory. Somerville High defeated Bridge- water Normal School at Bridgewater by the score of 24 to o. 'Phis was our first game and the boys of red and blue put up a fine article of football. Almeida, last year’s captain of the team, has entered Tufts. “Eddie” has gained quite a reputation by his clever playing. That run of his in the Cornell game was very sensational football. A second eleven has been formed and has chosen Armstrong for captain. This is a good scheme, as it gives the first eleven a chance to practice daily and also turns out football material for the following year. Somerville High defeated Tufts Sec- ond Eleven at College Hill by the score of 4 to o. The game was very snappy,
