22 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR and would be greatly appreciated this year, too. Season tickets for admission to all the home games, including the Thanksgiving game, can be obtained from Mr. Pearson in Room 102 for $1.00. Somerville High had its first football prac- tice September 15. Sixty candidates reported, and have been practicing hard ever since. “Dutch” Ayer has two able assistants, Dave West and Alex Anderson, to help him get in condition and round-out a football team that will be worthy to represent Somerville. They are somewhat handicapped by the lack of ex- perienced players, there being only four letter- men left, Captain Kelson, “Stan” Snell, Walter Breen and “Gimpty” Hogan. Dave West, former All-American tackle, is working hard to make a good team out of the prospective candidates. Alex Anderson, former centre at Georgetown, is coaching the line. He works the linemen hard, and if he doesn’t make a fighting line out of his charges nobody can. Captain Walter Kelson wants the support of the student body at all the games. Come and cheer your team if you have any school spirit. Dutch Ayer has advised “Danny” McFayden not to play football this year. A chance on in- juring Dan’s valuable pitching arm is not to be risked. Little “Eddie” Bergin, last year’s scrappy centre, is ineligible, but Talbert and Marble are holding down his job in good fashion. It was thought at first that “Gimpty” Hogan was not going to play football this year, but “Gimpty” just couldn’t keep away from the game. Balboni is the team’s comedian. McCarthy and Dudley are the foremost pros- pects for quarter-back. The team would like to have the school band at its games. It was an inspiration last year. Lawrence, 20; Somerville, 0 Lawrence beat Somerville for the third time in three years at O’Sullivan Park, Lawrence, bn Saturday, October 4. Somerville fought hard, but ragged playing caused their defeat. Law- rence scored on two long forward passes, each of which netted them touchdowns. “Gimpty” Hogan outpunted the Lawrence kicker, and made one fine forty-yard run to Lawrence’s six-yard line, but Somerville was unable to put the ball over for a touchdown. Hewitt, Graney, Owens and Christian played a heads- up game for Lawrence, while Captain Kelson, Snell. Hogan and Talbert put up a good fight for Somerville. Talbert, the Sophomore centre, sprained his wrist in the Lawrence game, and other mem- bers of the team received minor injuries, such as “Charley horse,” cuts and black eyes. By the way, the squad all enjoyed a “feed” after the Lawrence game. Breen and Hogan chose to eat in Chinese surroundings.

MEDFORI) HIGH TAKES SOMERVILLE INTO CAMP, 23—0 Somerville High lost its opening league game, October 13, to Medford High, 23 to 0, on George Dilboy Athletic Field, West Somerville, before 4,500 people. The Somerville team showed that it had the stuff, but did not know how to use it. A bril- liant stand on their two-yard line was the only time that they played as an organized team should play. Here, they took the ball away from Medford, but a bad pass resulted in a safety, the only score in the last period. “Fish” Ellis, of Medford, was easily the star of the game. The way in which he command- eered the Medford team was faultless. Ellis, Hormell and Michaelson were Med- ford’s star performers, while Captain Kelson, Breen and Balboni played well for Somerville.
