18 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Athletics THE cup pictured on this page is awarded each year to the winning football team in the Suburban League. It is donated by Mr. Foss, an ardent and enthusiastic sup- porter of the League, and is presented by H. D. Foss Co., Inc., of Cambridge. It was won last year by Brookline High School, but this year we hope to see it among the many other trophies which have been awarded the victorious teams of Somerville High. THE football team opened the 1927 season by winning the first two games. The team has nine veterans from last year, and the prospects of winning the championship this year are excellent. The veterans are: Ends, Captain Paul Mac- Innis and Ray Fermoyle; tackles, Charlie Casey and Toothaker; guards, Stevenson and Charlie Peterson. In the backfield are Luppi, Ed. Pet- erson, and Rondina. Some of the new men who are doing well so far are Walter Corbett, quarterback; John Murphy, Dick O’Brien, Donald Wells, and Charlie Dresser. The 1927 football schedule is as follows:— Sept. 24 Worcester H. S. Commerce at Somer- ville. Oct. 1 Dean Academy Second at Somerville. Oct. 8 Salem at Somerville. Oct. 15 Somerville at Medford. Oct. 22 Somerville at Cambridge Latin. Oct. 29 Newton at Somerville. Nov. 5 Everett at Somerville. Nov. 12 Somerville at Brookline. Nov. 24 Somerville at Rindge. SOMERVILLE WINS SECOND GAME FROM DEAN ACADEMY SECOND The football team won its second game from Dean second team 8 to 0. Peterson, kicking for Somerville, outpunted the Dean kicker by 10 yards on each exchange of punts. Stevenson blocked the Dean kick that gave Somerville its first score. In the last period Somerville marched 40 yards for a touchdown. Luppi, Peterson and Rondina took turns, making four or five yards at each rush, and Luppi finally went over. SOMERVILLE LOSES TO SALEM! SOMERVILLE was defeated 6 to 0 in a thrill- ing game at Dilboy Field, October 8. It was the Salem centre who intercepted a pass near midfield after it had hit a Somer- ville man on the shoulder. Then the Salem team, which has not been functioning this year, started to work. With Foley and McMahon crashing through for consistent gains, the ball was carried to the 30-yard line, then Salem completed a fine forward, Anderson to McGee, for the only touchdown of the game. Peterson’s run of 35 yards off right tackle was the longest run of the game. Luppi carried the ball on the kick-off in the second half for 25 yards, bringing the ball to midfield. Captain Mclnnis after playing a wonderful game was carried off the field. Murphy was sent in in the last half and he showed himself a clever, shifty runner. Captain McGee starred for Salem. He was (Continued on Page 19)
