30 ' 50 Boys ' Sports After a one quarter blues defea t, at the hands of our pet rival, Auburn — the score being Auburn, 54, Sutton, 38 — the Sutton quintet shifted into high gear to win five of the next six games. The drive came to a halt again at Auburn. Although outscoring their opponents in field goals 18 to 16, Sutton lost the game at the foul line. GAME SUMMARIES: Auburn 54 Sutton 3b Alumni 24 Sutton 30 Uxbridge 37 Sutton 28 Cole Trade 17 Sutton 38 Upton 43 Sutton 56 Barre 35 Sutton 45 Oxford 38 Sutton 40 Oxford 45 Sutton 40 Sterling 21 Sutton 40 Auburn 45 Sutton 44 Cole Trade 40 Sutton 53 Hopkinton 30 Sutton 29 Holy Name 32 Sutton 34 Barre 27 Sutton 43 Holy Name 55 Sutton 53 Another spine-tingling game was the Holy Name game at South High gym in Worcester. The score was tied 30-30 at the end of the regulation game, thus causing the game to go into overtime. Eddie Plante ' s two baskets tacked down the victory for S. H. S. Probably the most heart-warming victory at Sutton was in edging the tall Oxford five, 40 to 38. The members of the varsity squad this year were Bill Johnson, Eddie Plante, Harry Smith, Phil Smith, Normie Minor, Lanny Goodwin, Ronnie Gibson, Bill Bullard, Chick Conley, and Franklin Smith. The scoring of the first five was, respectively: Bill Johnson, 214; Eddie Plante, 191; Harry Smith, 65; Normie Minor, 56; Phil Smith, 44. After the regular season had come to a close, Sutton had an invi- tation to play in the Clark Tournament. On Monday night, February 20, we went on the floor opposed by the Townsend five. Unfortunately, our playing had fallen down during the lay-off. Our failure at the foul line was one of the big factors against us, resulting in our being left on the short end of a 41-32 score. We have a ten game schedule in baseball, which was started off with a bang by handing Oxford a 9-5 drubbing. We would like to give Manager Ben MacLaren a hand for his loyalty all year long and last but not least, we would like to express our gratitude to Coach Place for his wonderful coaching. Harold Smith
