SKS lost it 21-I3 but after the first period the game could have gone either way. Marshall Peabody caught four passes, one for fifty yards and a touchdown. In the final period Steve Merrill ploughed through a perfect hole for the second and final South Kent score. There is little to say concerning the Canterbury game the following week. Canterbury had one of its finest teams. Its 41-12 romp over South Kent proved this rather thoroughly. The highlights of the game were a sixty-yard sprint by Sandy Severance after catching a pass from Farr in the first period, and a pass in the third period from Smith to Marshall Peabody for our final score. One consolation of the game was that South Kent succeeded in scoring more points against Canterbury than any other team was able to amass that season. This defeat seemed to have a considerable effect upon the team for the following week, the Cardinal and Black crushed Berkshire 26-8 in one of the biggest upsets of the year. Berkshire led 8-0 at the end of the first period. Severance knifed off-tackle for the first South Kent score on a reverse. In the closing minutes of the first half if I Marshall speaks after receiving the football trophy Farish caught a forty-yard pass from Pat Smith for a second touchdown. This gave South Kent a 13-8 lead at the half. Farr broke off tackle from the nine-yard line in the third period for the third score for South Kent. In the hnal period Farr passed to Wheelock on a special play and the big tackle went thirty yards for the final tally to make the score 26-8 at the final whistle. The Gunnery game was very close, well played, but tragic. Both defenses were fool-proof throughout the game except for a sixty-five yard breakaway by the Gunnery and a forty-yard run by Farr around end. The tragedy of the game for the Cardinal and Black came in the final minutes of the contest. After a long drive to the eight-yard line South Kent failed to score on three attempted passes. The score was a narrow 7-6. The james R. Garfield, III football trophy went to Gill and Marshall Peabody, Gill for his hne running and Marshall for his excellent tackling on defense and his job at end on the offense. Dave Wheelock and Lenny Gibbons received the newly awarded Mankin trophy for linemen. The Peabody twins were elected co-captains for next year's season. Wheelock and Gibbons with the lineman's cup b

THE HOC KEY SEASON This year's hockey squad was only slightly more successful than last year's. The hnal record of five wins and seven losses with one tie is a mark which should be topped with ease by next year's squad. The team exhibited a great amount of potential but failed to put it to good use with any regularity. The first line was unable to play with the coordination and hnesse of which it was capable but the second line helped to compen- sate for this by its inexperienced bitt aggressive play at all times. There were times, however, when the team played the sort of smart, precise hockey which produces victory. Gill Peabody and Steve Gravereaux turned in creditable jobs on the defense despite Steves lack of seasoning and the recurrence of Gill's old football injury. The two most outstanding contests of the year were those played against Hotchkiss and Choate. In the hrst of these SKS defeated Hotch- kiss for the nrst time in nine years by the score the team scoring with of 6-5. John Farr led three goals. The second of these games was the closest one of the year with Berkshire. In the aside from the 3-S tie third period with two minutes to go and three goals down Trent Smith poked in two fast scores in a final rally which fell one goal short of the mark and left Choate with a 5-2 win to its credit.
