SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 19 SOMERVILLE SWAMPS WORCESTER Somerville took advantage of fumbles and beat Worcester Commerce, 14 to 0, Saturday, October 3. The game was played in a sea of mud, and it was almost impossible to hold the rain-soaked ball. Six of the fourteen points were scored in the first half. Wilson scored the touchdown by straight iine plunging. While McGovern scored the other touchdown by recovering one of the numerous fumbles, he ran through the whole Worcester team for the touchdown. Both goals were missed. The other two points were scored by a safety by Averka, of Worcester. It was almost impossible to distinguish the two teams, because after the first two plays both teams were caked with mud. Many times it was necessary to call time out to dry the ball. The team stood strong under this vigorous test. Charles Finn, Sporting Editor. HLET1CS and Bill Hooley carried the ball for many long gains. In the first period neither team was able to score, and a punting duel between Papp, of Saugus, and Wilson, of Somerville, was the main feature. The honors were about even. In the second period Wilson scored a touch- down, after many substantial gains by Mc- Carthy, Wilson and Scully. Wilson failed to kick the goal. In the final half of the game Somerville came into her own. Hatchet recovered a fumble on the Saugus forty-yard line, which paved the way for a touchdown by McCarthy. After that Somerville scored three more touchdowns. Wilson kicked two of the goals, and Hooley kicked the other. Coach Dickerman used many substitutes so that he could see what each of the men was worth. The team showed the benefit of good coaching. Charles Finn, Sporting Editor. TENNIS THE OPENING GAME Somerville won its opening football game Saturday, September 26, beating Saugus High 34 to 0. Captain Red Wilson, Bill McCarthy Tennis, though a minor sport in the Somer- ville High School, and despite the lack of facili- ties, has met with a great deal of enthusiasm. A good number of candidates reported for the team this year. Wilbur Irving was elected manager, and a tournament arranged to determine who should represent the team. Only two of last year’s team remain, Hong Wong and Joseph Corish. Four vacancies will be filled by the new men this year. Nourse, Townsend, Barrata, and Fisher seem to have the best possibilities of making the team. Matches are being arranged with other schools, and a schedule will be announced later. Charles J. Finn, ’26.

20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “I can tell you how much water runs over Niagara Falls to a quart,” asserted the young man at the climax of the dispute. “Well, how much?” “Two pints.” A little stalk of goldenrod was just about dry enough to blow away. “As a broadcaster,” he chuckled, “I claim to rank with the most powerful sending stations in the country. Wonder how many are tuned in.” A scattered volley of sneezes told that a number of people were already “getting” him. History Prof.: “Can any one of you tell me what makes the Tower of Pisa lean?” Corpulent Ida: “I don’t know or I’d take some myself.” Minister’s Wife: “Wake up! There are burg- lars in the house.” Minister: “Well, what of it? Let them find out their mistakes themselves.” —Georgia Tech. Yellow Jacket. Mrs. Bill: “Why do you speak of your hus- band as a theory?” Mrs. Jack: “Because he so seldom works.” Lately a chronic office-seeker died. A well known journalist suggested this epi- taph for his tombstone:— “Here lies John Jones in the only place for which he never applied.” The daughter of a certain strict-principled old deacon had attended a dance the previous, night, much against her father’s wishes. When she appeared for breakfast the next morning, he greeted her with the words:— “Good morning, daughter of Satan.” To which the maiden respectfully replied: “Good morning, father.” The Lioness: “What’s the matter, dear, don’t you feel well tonight?” Hollywood Lion: “I do not. I had to eat a lot of dummy martyrs in the Roman arena this afternoon and the director made us do it over four times.” Minister (at baptismal font): “Name, please ?” Mother (baby born abroad): “Philip Ferdi- nand Chesterfield Randolph Levengstone.” Minister (aside to assistant): “Mr. Knelee, a little more water, please.” Here lies Mathew Moth Slain at his post By a super moth ball. His life work was to make men generous About giving their wool garments To others. He was a devoted worker For charity. —Saturday Evening Post. “You gave me the key of your heart, my love. Then why do you make me knock?” “Oh, that was yesterday, Saints above! And last night—I changed the lock.”
