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,

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.

Ripe, Cotter and Cuddy did good work for Somer- ville. “Meloxen” Stone kicked three goals from the field in the Chelsea game. Stone ought to be very proud of this record as no one, either in the Senior or Junior League, has ever done this be- fore. Moore of C. M. T. S. comes near- est, kicking two. Somerville Second Eleven defeated Winchester to the tune of 12 to o. Eitts played a brilliant game. Sanborn, Gilbert and Armstrong also played well. They also achieved a great victory over the Medford High School team in the Junior League, winning from them by the score of 4 to o. The work of Eitts, Coveney and Gilbert was noticeable. Exchanges. The Stranger is to be congratulated on its large number of advertisements. The Lake Breeze contains a clear de- scriptive article on “Shooting the Shoots.” A teacher wrote: In one evening I counted twenty-seven meteors sitting on my piazza.” Prof.: “Why don’t you speak louder when you recite?” Pupil: “A soft an- swer turneth away wrath.” Subscriber: Kindly publish a cure for apple-tree worms. Answer: We cannot suggest a cure until we know what ails the worms. Boy: “Papa, where’s atoms ? ” Papa: “Athens, you mean, my child.” Boy : “No, papa, atoms, the place where peo- are blown to.” Barber (insinuatingly): “Your hair wants cutting the worst way, sir.” Sourby (in the chair): “That’s the way you cut it the last time.”—-Judge. Sunday-School teacher : “ And what did the lame beggar ask of Peter at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple ? ” Tom- my . “He asked for alms and got legs.” Friendly German (entering a restau- rant) : Wie geht’s ? ” Waiter : “Wheat cakes ? All right ! ” I '. G. : “.Vein ! ” nein ! ” W. : “You may be lucky if you get three.” New Servant: “I found this coin upon your desk, sir A Master: “I’m glad you’re honest. I put it there purposely to test your honesty.” New Servant : “That’s what I thought.” We are glad of your gladness, Jaber- wock, in at last being “the proud and happy possessor ot a cover.” All suc- cess to you, and, as Jefferson says, “May you live long and prosper.” “Two Nagers and a Forfeit,” a con- tinued story appearing in the Cambridge High School Review, is especially well written and interesting. The author ought not to be ashamed to sign his name. The Cherry and White from Wil- liamsport, Penn., starts in on its third year with an attractive new cover. It would, however, give the paper a better appearance if the advertisements were not mixed in with the reading matter. A celebrated composer wrote to a friend requesting the pleasuue of his company to luncheon, “K of G.” His friend, a thorough musician, interpreted the invitation rightly and came to the composer’s house for luncheon at one sharp.

A meeting of the alumni of the Eng- lish High School was held in Master Akers’ room Tuesday evening, Nov. 9. There were about 40 present. The con- stitution was revised, the annual dues of Si being dispensed with and the treas- urer authorized to levy an annual assess- ment of 25 cents. All graduates of the school are members. The constitution is to be printed and generally distri- buted, ana a meeting called probably in January at which an election will be held.
