somfrvilll men school radiator 17 The football season has arrived, and Somer- ville. in spite of its late start, has displayed won- derful spirit, as nearly 100 candidates have signed up. Mr. Ayer, the newly appointed coach, assumed •charge of the team on September 28. Previous to his taking charge, the boys had been coached by Tom Scanlon. Dina Reardon and Mr. Cuddy. The schcoll owes these Somerville High School graduates many thanks for their splendid work while the boys were without an official coach. There is something for every one to do. Buy tickets for every game, go to the games, and cheer. If Coach Ayer does not produce a champion team, let the students help the cheer leaders produce a champion cheering section. Individual Players Dan Kelliher. captain of this year’s football team and veteran of two years, is back in his usual form. Bob McPhail, our star backfield man and vet- eran of two years, is back with his usual mania for making end runs. McKelvey, also a veteran, is considered a regu- lar guard on the left of the line. Sandstrom. another veteran and star drop kicker, is back in good form. Bob Buckley, a veteran backfield man. is ex- pected to perform good work. Calderoni. a veteran of last year, is expected to do some fast work in the line. Marmaud, a veteran plunger, is welcomed back, and is expected to fill Simpson's place. Our New Coach Arthur (“Dutch”) Ayer was born in Lawrence. Mass., where he attended the Methuen Grammar School, situated on the outskirts of Lawrence. Later he attended the Lawrence High School. After graduating from high school, he went to Phillips F.xetcr and Dean Academy. From Dean Academy he went to Colbv. from which he trans- ferred t' Springfield, to take a course in physical directing. Mr. Ayer went in for all kinds of athletics, and in football became Maine’s star quarterback. At basebal1 he played left and centn field; on the track team he was considered a dashing relay man and at hockev played centre. “Dutch” Ayer became so proficient in athletics that he became physical director or coach, in some places both, at the following colleges, schools and universities; Coached Concord (X. H.) High School for two years. Norwich University one year, coach and athletic director of Holyoke High School for one year, athletic director and coach at Portland Naval Station during the war. director of physical training and athletics of New York State in 1919. director of athletics and recreation at Greenfield (Mass.) Tap and Dye Corporation, and last year athletic coach of Boston University. Somerville 0, Cambridge Latin 14 Somerville was defeated at Dilboy Field. Som- erville, in the first game of the season with a score of 14 to 0. In the first half luck was against Somerville, for when Bob McPhail. after making a thirty - five-yard run. lost the pigskin, it was picked up by a Cantab player, who ran for a touchdown. The goal was kicked by Zarakov. This piece of bad iuck seemed to dishearten the red and blue players, as Zarakov went through and around the line for large gains. Zarakov took the ball on the fourteen-yard line and ran around the line for a touchdown. Zarakov again kicked the goal. I:i the second half the Somerville boys came back with the old light, and it looked as if they would score. The ball was carried to Cambridge Latin’s five-yard line, but Somerville lost their chances of scoring by a costly fumble. The

Somerville 0, Newton 41 Somerville met defeat at the hands of Newton at Dilbov Field, Somerville, by a score of 41 to 0. In the first three minutes Newton scored a touchdown by a trick end run. Little needs to be said outside of that the orange and black players proved too fast for the red and blue warriors, and at the end of the first half the score stood 27 to 0 in favor of Newton. As in the Cambridge Latin game, Somerville came back strong in the second half and made large gains by line plunges. Newton’s line seemed to crumble for a few plays and then it turned to a stone wall. Somerville tried some forward passes, but they did not prove very suc- cessful. On one of these passes, Garritv intercepted the ball and carried it for a touchdown. T. Bowen kicked the goal, bringing the score to 34 to 0. Newton’s lateral passing and a clever end run by their quarterback for a touchdown advanced the score to 41 to 0. T. Bowen again kicked the goal. In the last minute to play. Bob Buckley’s thirty-five-yard run brought the Somerville rooters to their feet, but all their hopes vanished, tor as he was tackled, the whistle blew and the game was over.

WINNING HIS LETTER (Continued from Page 9.) lie would get his letter after the season was over, but it would be nothing more to him than a mere piece of bunting if the other members of the eleven thought he had not earned it. His dis- appointment was keen, for lie knew he would not have another chance to distinguish himself. The day lor the Union game finally arrived, and excitement at Essex High was keyed to its highest pitch. 'Hie annual game was rated as a classic in Delaware interscholastic sporting circles, for the elevens were evenly matched and the state titie was hanging in the balance. A vast assemblage was on hand to witness the gladiators of the gridiron fight for supremacy, and blaring bands were there to liven the atmos- phere. The red jerseys of the Essex eleven and the blue jerseys of Union made a pretty spectacle and presented a miniature Harvard-versus-Vale battle. The galaxy of stars in the opposing line- ups. and the fact that neither team had been scored on for the season, increased the interest of the title combat. At last the game began, and from the very monienr that the hollow boom which announced the kick-off was heard, to the end of the first quarter the teams kept the frenzied mob on its feet. Even Lee Castleton. on the sidelines, downcast as he was. could not help feeling thrilled at the. glorious sight. Every inch of ground was cieanly fought for. and some of those youths who had fought in the trenches and chanced to be in the game, displayed that same grit and courage on the football field that they
