Bailey tried to go around end for the point but failed. Norway then held the ball until time ran out. Paris High School, by joining Nor- way and Dexter in a three way tie be- came eligible to receive a class F state championship football trophy, offered by the Maine Principal's Association. Since the trophy won last year was re- turned, this will be the first football trophy to be added permanently to our collection. The football squads of Paris and Nor- way were entertained at a banquet by the Norway-Paris Kiwanis Club. Mr. Adam Walsh, coach of BoWdoin's foot- ball team, was the speaker. In November, Mrs. Mary MacPhee gave a banquet for the boys. Mr. and Mrs. Bean opened their camp at Bryant's Pond for the boys following the Mexico game, and Coach and Mrs. Chandler had their annual open house for the Seniors after the Norway game. Appreciation is expressed to Dr. Ray- mond S. Houghton for his care of the boys throughout the season. Norman Block, manager of the team, releases the names of the following boys who have played their last game for Paris: Richards, Johnson, Dodge, Fabis- zewski, Trask, Colby, Harney, Hicks, Bailey and Weeks.

THE CHRONICLE 39 frame when the hard hitting line pushed the Rams back up the field to the 12. Weeks then broke through the Norway line for the final TD. Paris 18-Gould 0 Oct. 6, 1952 The Cardinals continued their win- ning ways by handing Gould an 18-O de- feat. In the opening frame Richards bulled over from the 3 yard stripe for the first score. In the third period Bailey raced 35 yards to the 15. The Cardinals then made a first down, and Bailey went around the end for the score. Midway in the final period Rich- ards heaved a ten yard pass to Johnson, who burst through the Gould pack, reached the clear, and ran a brilliant 25 yards to pay dirt. All three Parisian attempts to convert failed. Paris 25-Jay 14 Oct. 13, 1952 Jay High School was the next vic- tim for Coach Chandler's charges. The Cardinals seemingly scored at will against the visitors, while both Jay touchdowns came at the expense of the Paris reserves. Bailey led the Cardinals offensively while Colby, John- son and Richards were stonewalls on the defense. After Paris scored three quick touchdowns in the first half, the reserves had their chance to make good. Numerous penalties on the subs helped Jay to score their touchdowns. Paris 6-Mexico 0 Oct. 20, 1952 At this game Paris got a real scare for the first time this year. Mexico held the Cardinals scoreless for the first half, but midway in the third period Paris worked the ball down to the Mex- ico 25. Richards then threw a pass ov- er the center of the line to Johnson, who skillfully outraced the Mexico safe- ty men. The conversion attempt failed. Although the Paris team seemed to be a little off on their playing, Mexico in- vaded Paris territory only twice. Paris 33-Kennett 18 Oct. 27, 1952 The Cardinals made a long trek up to Conway, N. H., and came back with a strong victory over the hard-hitting Kennett team. Johnson, Richards, Bailey and Lauzier all scored touch- downs for the Parisians. The Cardinals were a determined outfit after the close game the week before. Lauzier played in place of the injured Bill Snow and made a spectacular run around the end in the third period for a score. Out- standing on offense were Johnson, Bailey, Richards and Lauzier, while Col- by and Hicks played well in the line. 1l Paris 20-Norway 21 Nov. 5, 1952 South Paris had their winning streak stopped at 15 games by their long-time rivals, the Norway Rams. The defeat left Paris in a three way tie for the state title with Norway and Dexter. Norway opened the scoring in the first period with a two foot plunge by Thurston, followed by Saleeby's conversion. Rich- ards passed 33 yards to Johnson for a touchdown and bulled over for the ex- tra point. An interception, followed by a series of short gains led to Tyner's 12 yard run for the second Norway TD. Saleeby converted. Paris was working their way down field when they fum- bled. Dyer picked it up and ran 60 yards for Norway's final touchdown. Saleeby again converted. Paris came back in a rage and went down field to the 12, where Richards passed to Bailey for the touchdown. Richards carried over for the point. Then after an ex-

THE CHRONICLE 41 BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL First Row-K. Bailey, R. Wentworth, W. Snow, D. Johnson, P. LeBlanc. Second Row-J. Hicks, Mgr. R. Beck, P. Martin, A. Snow, H. Morton, K. Mason, C. Crooker, Mr. Griflith. The South Paris Cardinals, upholding the school tradition of never giving up, made eleven straight victories before St. Francis subdued them. They then lost two hard fought games to Mexico and Norway. After this, they found the range again, handing St. Francis their first defeat in twenty-one games and rolling over Livermore Falls 88 to 33. The Cardinals' record earned them fourth spot in the tournament seating, but the fast playing Wilton Academy Eagles defeated them in the opening round 54-44. Because our Sun-Journal League standing was equal to that of Mexico High School, a play-off was ne- cessary to determine the winner of the Western-Division, that would then play Wilton Academy for the trophy. The game was played on the neutral Gould Academy floorg we were beaten in a hard fought game 42-38. Paris-Mexico Bill Snow, high scorer for the Pari- sians, led South Paris to a 48-47 win over Mexico by scoring twenty-nine points. After a tied first quarter, Mex- ico went ahead at half-time 23-21. South Paris came back strongly and held Mexico to three points and led 35- 26 at the end of the quarter. When Bill Snow fouled out, Mexico crept up on South Paris and came within one point of tying us. Mexico missed a foul shot with four seconds to go. This made us the winners. Paris-Norway Norway High School, our long time rivals, gave us a real scare in the first meeting between the two schools. Lead- ing by four points at the end of the first period, they stretched the lead to five
