24 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'flic Somerville Radiatoh extends a most'f1 hearty welcome to all its exchanges, both old and new, and wishes them a most successful year. I'or more than half the pages there Were filled with Senior hits; Its literary work was nil.— The rest of it well fits. Oh, such a trip as we have had In visiting each school! Twas just so fine to speed along Past woodland, vale, and pool. To Andover we sped right on Reneath the sun's hot rays, And there we found a paper small Rut worthy of great praise. We went to judge the sterling worth Of literary work. To see in what they did excel And what things they did shirk. We went right into Boston first, “Bostonians” to see; A learned paper there they have Writ by the faculty. In lectures dry as chips, they were In classic lore profuse; A match would set them all on fire: For me. they were no use. The “Beacon then we visited Nearly in Chelsea town. And there we found some poetry And prose work of renown. Their cover, gold and white, was rich In its simplicity; But nowhere found we one exchange In pages twenty-three. Then on we sped to Quincy fair, The home of ‘‘Golden Rod. As for a paper by the school We’d call it most a fraud. Its name The Punchard Ensign” is; Much credit is it due. For stories like A Change of Mind,” Rob's Cinderella. too. We then drove west to Norton’s school Where Wheaton College stands, And for their “Bulletin” we have But praise and laurel bands. Their work is up to college grade, Their “Traumerie” was fine; And their attempts at poetry Were right in every line. Then down we sped to Wrentham. Mass. To The Assembler’s home; It gave us all a right good feast With very little foam. To Franklin next we turned our course Where sounds the “Megaphone. A splendid magazine it was In quality and tone. Their literature was very good— Both prose and poetry— And quite extensive were their notes Of loyal alumni. [Continued on pn«e

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 25 HLETICS v()Id King Eootball holds sway once more and at his summons sixty of his subjects answered the call for candidates at S. H. S. The baekfield with the exception of quar- terback is a veteran trio, and in the line the ends and centre are the ony positions vacant. With seven veterans, a most valuable asset for a smooth-working machine, the Red and Blue is assured of a most successful season. By all appearances the fight in the Suburban League is due to be a close one this year. Everett has a formidable-looking aggregation and Malden under new leadership may spring a few surprises. Medford has a fast though light team this year. Grant, the old Somerville man. is performing at halfback. At Melrose the out- look isn’t extremely promising, but they are al- ways “there with the fight” and should stir up a little commotion in suburban circles. Banner and Wiley will in all probability play the guards and Merrill and Anderson the tackles. With this husky quartette in the line the Red and Blue defence should be invulnerable. Hirshon looks good at quarter and Dardis is glancing that way. “Dinger” is in prime condition and should keep up his reputation of “the best fullback in school-boy circles.” Leland and Ellis will probably fill the halfback positions and Bradley looks better than ever. “Steve Mahoney has a large bunch of end aspirants to pick from and the pivot position is being contested for by a creditable delegation. The school is fortunate in having a man like “Steve Mahoney for coach. Under his guidance the team of last year made a very good showing, and with the material he has to work with and with his hand at the helm. Somerville High School is due for a “look in at the champion- shin. All out for the Waltham game October 10, at Waltham. Waltham has a light, fast team and the game will be exciting from whistle to cur- few. The big Red and Blue team needs your help an 1 earnest support on this big day. Come on. you rooters! Somerville, 13; Hecb jfresbmen, 3 JG ? '13 On October 5 Somerville played its first game of the season against the M. I. T. freshmen at Recreation field. The latter team, coached bv “Charlie Cuddy, put up an unexpectedly strong game, holding Somerville to two touchdowns, and themselves scoring a goal from the field. The score was thirteen to three. Somerville’s showing was disappointing, al- though perhaps all that could be expected in the opening game of the season. The lack of team play was most noticeable, none of the quarter- backs running the team with any degree of smoothness. Of the four. Hirshon displayed the best all-round ability, pulling off a couple of good runs himself, but lack Dardis showed less hesitancy in choosing his plays. At centre, Anderson, Baxter, and Cushing, all comparatively light men for the position, seemed to be about equal, all of them putting up a hard, scrappy game. One of the three will probably develop into a good man. The right side of the line, with Wiley at guard. Merrill at tackle, and Dillon at end. was strong. Dillon, though light, did by far the best work of any :f tlie large number of ends, and probably was benefited by having an experienced tackle to work with. On the other side of the line, “Jim Robertson did good work at tackle, but most of Tech's gains were made through that side and around left end. The defence of the home eleven against the for- ward pass was extremely poor, the visitors work- ing it successfully several times. The Red and Blue, on the other hand, failed each time they tried to pull it off. 'file back-field, with Dinger, Leland. and Ellis, will develop well as soon as the team play is worked up a little, and in Bradley it has a
