THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 21 On Monday. September 14. Captain Mixer is- sued the call for candidates. About thirty-five re- ported for practice, ten of whom are last year's S men. The new men look promising, and with Coach Baldwin in charge of the players S micrville ought to turn out a good team. The line is strong, with Gustin. Caldwell. Rus- sell. Woodman, ami Nolan, and Eorg. Howard, and Garland are three good ends. With Pep Cousens. Dickerman. Donahue. McCarthy. McDonald, and Kirkpatrick to choose from, a set of strong backs can i c depended on. The daily work consists of tackling the dummy, signal practice, and a short scrimmage with the second team. Somerville has an unusually good team, ami the games should be well attended. Coach Baldwin plaved la t year as guard on the Dartmouth College team, which won every game, beating Harvard. 2 2-0. He played on the Somer- ville teams of '04 and 05 as tackle. Manager Cheetham announces the following schedule:— September 20—Everett High at Somerville. September 30—Groton High at Groton. October 3—Cambridge Latin at Somerville. October 7—Boston Latin at Somerville. October 10—Haverhill High at Somerville. October 14—Quincy High at Somerville. October IT—Brockton High at Brockton. October 24—Waltham High at Waltham. October tS—Tech. Bill, at Somerville. October 31—Dorchester High at Dorchester. November I—Hyde Park at Somerville. November T—Malden High at Somerville. November 14—English High at Somerville. November 26—R. M. T. S. at Somerville. Jfootball Captain The 1907 football team voted Clarence Mixer, English. ‘10. captain of the team for this season. Captain Mixer, on account of last year’s good work, rightly deserved the position, and would have done credit to the team and to the school. But in the Everett game Mixer twisted his knee, an injury which will keep him out of the game for the rest of the season. Knowing this, he handed in his resignation, and a special meeting of last year's football players was held. It was accepted, as all saw the necessity of having a captain that could play in all the games. Fred Eorg. English, ‘10. was elected. Eorg has played on the eleven for two years as end. and has got the reputation of being a steady player. His previous work has shown him capable of making a capable leader. Somerville, 6; Everett, 0 In the first game of the season Somerville played a good game. The line held strongly, but the backs showed lack of team work. About the end of the first half Mixer had his knee muscles torn, which will probably keep him out of the game for the rest of the season. Everett was evidently trying to develop kicking, for almost every time they had the hall they punted immediately. Somerville’s touchdown came in the second half on a fumbled punt got by Garland and on line- bucking by Cousens. Woodman showed ability at kicking, and was also strong in the line.

Student, are bright and interesting. ' Washington Memories,’ relating the trials in the journey t: and from the capital, is certainly very humorous. A story of an entirely different kind is Look Back, which reviews the entire school life from home teaching through college. “The Study Hour is a clever parody on Longfellow's “The Children’s Hour. A new friend appears in the Commencement number of the Mcgunticook from Camden. Me. The enthusiasm and the school spirit shown in this interesting magazine are noticeable. With a graduating class of eleven, they make up in quality what they lack in quantity. As a graduation number, the Sagamore is well edited. One of the most amusing sections of the magazine is “Who's Who Among the Seniors,” giving word pictures of the graduating class. Wake up your poets and authors. Record. Bos- ton English High. Set them to work! The edi- torials in the June number are good, especially the one entitled “After School. What? The cut for your “Locals” column is most original. The cover of the June Megaphone, while simple, is attractive. Great importance is given to the alumni pages, which are certainly successful. The High School Recorder, of Winchester, has an attractive graduation number. “Our Wash- ington Trip” is an interesting story, giving a good description of the various buildings and parks in the city. The class statistics for 11)08 arc quite amusing. “The Victory, in the May Clarion, holds the reader s attention well. It is a story which shows that school spirit predominates over personal spite. A reproduction of the beautiful painting. “Old Temeraire. is given in the same number. A brief history of that vessel and a sketch of the life of the painter. Joseph Mallord Turner, explain the picture.

Som- erville defeated Cambridge Latin, 5-0, but it looked up to the last minute of play as if it was to be a tic. In that minute Howard made a spec- tacular run on a forward pass, which paved the way for the touchdown. Russell and Caldwell were both out. and this weakened the line quite appreciably, although Millmorc and Pease played a good game. Garland tackled hard and took in forward passes like a veteran. For Cambridge. Sweet and Graus- tein played well. Many forward passes were used with varying success. At the end of the first half Somerville was on the three-yard line, and prob- ably would have scored if the whistle had not blown. In the second half Cambridge had an excellent chance for a touchdown. On a fumble a Cam- bridge man picked up the ball and started down an almost clear field, but he stumbled and made no gain. A little later Somerville made a forward pass to Forg. who had a chance for a long gain, but he fumbled. With but two minutes to play. McDonald made a pass of twenty yards to Howard, who got to the seven-yard line, where he was tackled by Graustein. On a delayed pass McCarthy made a touchdown. Woodman failed to kick tlie goal. The game ended just after the next kick-off. The line-up:— SO M ER V11 ,LE. C A M B RIDG E. Garland (Howard), l.e..............r.e..

Somerville, 0; Boston Xatln, 0 In a loosely-played game Wednesday, October ?. Somerville had hard work to keep Boston Latin from scoring. Somerville time and time again made illegal passes and was penalized. Somer- ville received the kick-off. but was held, and had to make a punt, which was fumbled. Russell get- ting the ball. Two forward passes worked well, but a third was intercepted by Boston. A moment later Somerville made a pass to Gar- land. who made a brilliant dash and a touchdown, but the ball was brought back as a penalty for off- side play. Latin School on the ten-yard line tried for a goal, and failed. The second half was a se- ries of forward passes and punts. Once Latin School was on the fifteen-yard line, but they were held, and Somerville punted out of danger. Latin tried to return the punt, but Caldwell broke through and blocked it. getting the ball for Somer- ville himself. The latter part of the half was mostly taken up with punting.
