20 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Our 11-lew Coacb At the meeting of the Somerville Athletic Asso- ciation in September Leo Hafford was chosen coach of the football team. For some months there had been no little speculation as to whether llafford or Dickinson would secure the position. No doubt the members of the association acted wisely in their decision. 11 afford was born in Somerville and was edu- cated in its schools. He was graduated from the Latin school in 1905. During his high-school course he played on both baseball and football teams, and won no little fame. In the fall of 1905 he entered Bowdoin Ccilcge, but was soon obliged to return home because of the death of his father. In September, 1906, lie entered Tufts Medical School, but left in the spring of 1907 to join the Cincinnati Nationals. Zbe Zcam On Monday, September 11 Captain Sharry called out the candidates for the football team; about fifty men turned out. The old men back are: Sharrv, Mixer, Forg, Hoyt, Gustin, Scriven, and Commin., also a few subs of last year's team. The team had very little time for practice before their first game, which was played September 25 with Everett. ATHLETIC NOTES Somerville Ibiob, 6; Everett Ibiob, 6 The football team lined up for its first game of the season on September 25 against the strong Everett team. Each team scored a touchdown in the first half. Everett put up a very fine game, and Somerville was able to gain ground only by end runs, while Everett ploughed through Somer- ville’s line several times for large gains. Forg and Sharry played a fine game; also Ma- honey. who, in the second half, carried the ball through tackle for a gain of thirty-five yards. Brickley and Lansing excelled for Everett.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR IQ ANECDOTES Xa XaitQue Tflnirerselle An cours d’une recente conference a Paris, M. Herve, Pennemi de la patrie francaise, s'est eerie cjue lc meillcur moyen de renverser les barrieres qui separent les peuplcs, e’est d adopter une langue universelle, et tout aussitot cette exclamation de parcourir hi salle: L’esp ranto! l’esperanto! L exclamation est-elle approbative ou ironique? L?un et l’autrc, sans dome, car Pesperanto a Pheureux privilege d’avoir des partisans passionnes et des adversaircs non nioins determines. Le journal “PAction,” de Paris, cst parmi ces derniers. II considere Pesperanto commc une simple farce. On vent une langue universelle? Que n'adoptc-t-on pas le francais:— “II n’est pas de langue plus lucide ni plus souple que le francais. Elle a ete par les siecles tamisee avee un soin qu’aucunc autre n’a connu. Elle est Pimperatrice des langues actuelles, qui Ini vouent une haine d’autant plus vive qu’elles ne la peuvent egaler. Le veritable esperanto, lc voila! En declarant qu’il appartient a notre langue de s’imposer aux peuples, nous nc faisons que repeter ce que disait, il y a soixante ans, PAllemand Henri Heine, et ce qu’affirmait bier encore PAllemand Max Nordau: ' Assez d’esperanto, place au fran- cais !’ ” Paris, 10.—On annonce qu’en se rendant «a Vienne, lc roi d’Espagne evitcra Paris. Ce fait serait du, dit-on, a une certaine tension survenue dans les relations franco-cspagnoles a la suite de la crise marocaine. La presse de Madrid sc montre tout specialement acerbe dans ses commentaires. Ein Student kam zu einem Freunde und sagte, “Du leilie mir mal fiinf Mark, ?ch babe all mein Geld ausgegeben.” “Es tut mir leid,” sagte' der Freund, aber icb babe selbst nur drei Mark.” “Das macht niebts aus,” sagte der Student, “gieb mir nur die drei Mark, die anderen zwei kannst du mir schuldig bleiben.” Nina F. Gilley, E., ’08. “Karl fragte der Lebrer, “welcben Einfluss baben die Hitze und die Kaltc auf cinen Kdrper.” “Die Hitze debut den Korper aus und die Kalte ziebt ihn zusammen.” “Gut! nun gieb mir aucb ein Beispicl.” “Dic Tage sind im Sommer lang und im Winter kurz, antwortete Karl. Fannie Levis, ’09. Un perc etant a Pcxtremite, fit venir Pun de ses deux fils, nomine Cbristopbe, et lui dit: Mon eber fils, je suis tourmente d’une idee bien triste; vous avez de Pesprit, que deviendrez-vous? Ecoutez- moi, moil fils ; il y a dans mon armoire une cassette de pcrles que je vous donne; prenez ce tresor et n en donnez rien a votre frere.” Le fils, tout etonne, s’ecria, Helas, mon perc, si vous me donnez tant que fera done mon frere pour avancer?” ‘yuant a George.” repondit le pere, je n’en suis pas Sn peine; sa stupidite fera sa fortune.” Howard M. Preston, E., ’08. L’ANE TRAITRE. Un paysan alia un jour cbez son voisin, pour lc pricr de tui preter son ane.

October 5, was a great surprise, Waltham landing a 17 to 0 victory over Somerville. Waltham kicked off. Donahue got the ball on his own fifteen-yard line, but was downed on the spot by a Waltham player. Somerville tried to punt and fumbled. Leary re- covered the ball and succeeded in planting it be- hind Somerville’s goal in less than four minutes of play. After the second kick-off Waltham carried the ball to the centre of the field, where they were held for downs. Sharry, after his team failed to make any gains, punted, but Carlton broke through and blocked the punt. Captain Haron of Wal- tham picked the ball up and ran fifty yards for Waltham’s second touchdown. In the second half Wiley, who was injured in the Groton game, took the place of Donahue at quarter. Sharry tried to kick a goal from place- ment. but failed. The line-up:— SOMERVILLE HIGH. WALTHAM HIGH. Forg. r.e Merrill, r.t l.t.. Partridge Nowell, r.g (justin, c Russ, l.g r.g..

Somerville played football of the old-fashioned kind, confining licr plays largely to line attacks. Captain Sharry made one run of sixty yards. Field showed up well at end and was successful in blocking Haver- hill’s tries for gains around his end. Haverhill at no time was near scoring a touchdown, and her gains were made mostly on forward passes and trick plays. The first touchdown came in a rush; Haverhill fumbled the kick-off. made a miserable try for a punt, and then lost the ball to Somerville, Sharry going over for a touchdown after less than a min- ute of play. In the second half Somerville made many changes in her line-up. and tried a few trick plays with success. At the end of the half Mixer made a twenty-five-yard run for a touchdown.
