CAMBRIDGE LATIN Somerville defeated Cambridge Latin on the holiday afternoon. Somerville won the first league game of the season at Russell Field, Cambridge, before a holiday crowd of 3,000. Cambridge won the toss and kicked to Blackman, who ran it back twenty-five yards. A punting duel followed, McFayden outdistanc- ing Carver every time. Rogers made a fine end run of forty-five yards. McFayden then punted to Fitzgerald, and Mattern tackled him on his 7-yard line. In the second period Davies made ten yards through the line for first down. Carver was then forced to punt. Jere- miah made forty yards on a forward pass to Mattern, and Blackman made ten yards through the line. Cambridge held Somerville on the 3-yard line. On the second play Frazer recovered a fumble and Blackman went over for a touchdown. McFayden kicked the goal, but a Somerville man was offside so the goal did not count. In the last period Somerville fumbled and Cambridge recovered the ball on the 30-yard line. Line rushes by Davies, Casey and Kelliher gave Cambridge two first downs, also it put the ball on Somerville’s 3- yard line. Davies tried four times and in four tries he only gained two feet. Somerville took the ball on the 2-yard line, and Wells kicked to the 40-yard line. Cambridge tried forward passes but Somerville knocked them all down.

ARLINGTON HIGH Coach Ayer has arranged the schedule of the second squad so that they may get practice to learn new plays and get experience from teams of their own size. Somerville High School three and four teams played Arlington and the stands went wild every time the Ar- lington varsity made a touchdown against Somerville’s smaller team. Somerville’s sec- ond squad gave a good account of themselves by holding the larger team on down and drop- ping them back in their tracks. Griffin got off some good punts and Cronin at right end was down under them in good style. Cole and Mc- Gowan at quarter played a good game, espe- cially as McGowan was laid up with an injury to his leg, he played a good game. Gustin played a good game at centre, blocking all holes through that part of the line. Fay and both Griffin brothers played a good game in the back field.
