Somerville, 2S; Cbelsca, 0 Somerville opened the season by defeating Chelsea. 2S-0. Somerville played the new game well. Both teams used many open plays, particu- laily Chelsea, who used punts to great advantage. Chelsea was lighter than Somerville, but put up a good game, fighting every minute. The Somer- ville backficld showed great form, getting off their plays with snap and speed. The work of Parks. Garland, and Doane was noticeable for the ground gained. Bob Garland's forty-yard run oiv a delayed pass was a feature of the game. Somerville scored before four minutes of play. Doane going through tackle. Millmore failed to kick the goal.

20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EXCHANGE NOTES The postman's whistle brought the exchange editor from her easy chair and her book, and sent her rushing down stairs to meet him. “ Please be kind. she begged, and give me only a few to-day. I’ve read and criticised until I’m tired to death. All those? Oh. mercy! Sorry I haven’t only a few. but better luck next time. and left her, with her arms full of papers. She called to her brother to help her out, and was surprised to hear him answer good- naturedly : All right, sis. in a minute. The exchange editor sat down at her desk and opened the first paper. Slowly the tired look passed away, and she read the paper eagerly. Jack, read the Stylus when you are through with that. It’s the dandiest paper! The class prophecy is great, and Hamilton Life’ is very in- teresting. If 1 remember rightly, there’s no ex- change column, though, and it needs one. “All right. I’ll read it. The Tuftonian is good, sis, though it’s probably more interesting to me than to you. I’ve finished the Dial : the arrange- ment Isn’t at all good, and there’s no exchange column. The Oracle has a dandy class history, lie sure to read it carefully. “Oh. Jack, look! Here’s a paper called the Kwassui Quarterly, from Nagasaki. Japan. It’s part in Japanese and part in English. Look at it, do! Jack took the highly-colored magazine and looked it over carefully. As I never studied Japanese, J am afraid I can’t see what the mean. Yes. it is very interesting, sis. Silence prevailed for some time, and finally Jack threw his last paper on the desk by his sister. There, kid. I’m through, and now Pm off for a game of tennis. “Oh. wait a minute. Jack! Here’s something that applies to you. Listen! College Roy: ’Rah! ’Rah! ’Rah! dad, I’m halfback on the ’varsity.” “ Dad: Yes: and way back in your studies.”’ Doesn’t that hit you?” Thanks. W’here’d you get that?” In the Chandelier. “Good paper? Yes. There’s a good piece called ‘A Fable Modernized.’ It’s all right. Tell me about your papers before you go. Well. he yawned, let’s see. The Par-Sem is pretty good. I can’t remember much about it. except that there’s no exchange column. The Dean Megaphone is corking all through. It’s a good paper, sis. That’s all I read. Now what about yours?” Jack, the Proctonia is fine! It’s the best yet. It’s managed well. too. and please read it when you come in. Then there’s the Dome. There’s no table of contents or any exchange column, but there’s a story in it that I think you’d like. It’s called Padre Stefano.’ That’s all I’ve done. May I come out, too, and play tennis? Please don’t object. “Come on. kid. and we’ll have a ripping good game. said her brother. W here’s my racket?

Som- erville went down to defeat at Groton. There was a very great difference in the style of game compared with that of the preceding Saturday. Somerville was slow, fumbles were the rule rather than the exception, and the five. ten. and fifteen- yard gains through the line were noticeable—for their absence. However, Somerville did get started once, and made sixty-four yards in seven rushes, but then the whistle blew. In the third period Millmore blocked a punt, which Giles recovered, and ran fifty yards before being downed. Bob Garland made sixty yards on an intercepted forward pass in the same pe- riod.

Somerville, 35; iDcM'orD, 0 Somerville took her first league game in the Suburban League from Medford. 35-0, October 5. The only play which gained ground for Medford was the forward pass. Only once was Medford near Somerville’s goal line. when, in the second period, two successful forward passes and twelve yards through the line placed the ball on Somer- ville’s fifteen-yard line. Then Garland intercepted a forward pass and Somerville soon scored. Somerville was heavier than Medford, and had no difficulty in making their ground by straight football. Only when forward passes were used was Somerville’s play ragged. Big gains were made through Medford’s line and round the ends, Garland and Dardis making twenty to thirty yards easily, while Doane ploughed successfully through the line. Somerville made first down every time but twice, while Medford made it only a few times. Garland and Dardis played well for Somerville, while Millmore and Pierce had no trouble in breaking through Medford’s line. The first touchdown was made in less than three minutes of play. Somerville scored twice in the first period, once in the second, once in the third, and twice in the fourth. Kolseth kicked every goal. Parks failed on a try for goal from the field.
