FOOTBALL With Co-Captains Emerson and Blood at the helm, the 1937 edition of the Vermont Academy Football Team will go down in the archives as the group that made up for its lack of weight by its pertinacity and spirit. With three victories, two ties and two defeats, the team may look back with pride on the season, both defeats were contested until the bitter end, and the victories were well earned. The Orange and Black were conquerors over Stevens High, Holderness School and Mt. Hermon, they struggled to scoreless deadlocks with Stockbridge and Governor Dummer, and they were edged out by Dartmouth Freshmen and undefeated, unscored-on Kimball Union.

Of the latter, two were lost to powerful college freshman teams, Amherst and Wil- liams. Victories were enjoyed at the expense of such formidable aggregations as Cushing, Kimball Union and Mt. Hermon. The contest which unquestionably held the spotlight was the first of the Cushing games, held on our own court. Stan Kogut, high scorer of the season, sank an angle shot to bring victory to Vermont after two breath-taking overtime periods. Captain Curtis and Mr. Leavitt deserve great credit for the ability and spirit of this year's team. With most of the first five returning next year, Captain Don Rice should be able to lead a formidable team onto the floor. Vermont Academy Vermont Academy Vermont Academy Vermont Acad.

Captain Bob Blood, Whiting, Reynolds and Singleton, were the only veterans left from last year's team, but Coach Dunn built a fine, well-balanced outfit which had no outstanding stars, but exceptionally good team play. The first six was made up of the famous Bob line: Bob Smith, Bob Blood and Bob Churchill. With Bob Elston and Saunders at defense and Stan Harvey in the nets, the team was complete. Singleton, Gardiner and Bates made up a good second line. In most of the games the team was ably assisted by players from the J. V. group, who thus gained experience for future play. The varsity won eight and lost only two games, each of those by one goal, and each of them to very strong sextets. The J. V. team played a regular schedule too and won all four of its games. With four letter men back next year, Captain Stan Harvey will have a good nucleus for as good a team.
