a scrimmage game 2 to 0, with Dinan anl Cummings playing great hockey. On Jan. 31, Walvefield beat Stoneham High 3 to 1 in an over-time period. Cummings, Dinan and Capt. Avery ou the offensive played great hockey all sea- son, and were cause for worry to the oppo- nent ' s defense. Dinan played an excep- tionally brilliant game against Cambridge Latin, while Cummings and Avery starred in the Stoneham and Beverly games. On the defense Garniss, Hill, Dagnino, and Riley did creditable work. The work of Jazukawicz at goal w ' as also noticeable, his stopping of difficult drives being the fea- ture of many games. More games were scheduled but could not be played because of the heavy snow which covered the rink. HERBERT HANCOCK ' 20. GIRLS ' BASKETBALL A nev sport has been introduced into Wakefield High. F ' or the first time in the history of the school the girls indulge in competitive athletics. Through the efforts of the Athletic Association, arrangements were made with the Y. M. C. A. so that the girls might use the gymnasium on Thursday from 1.30 till 4 and from 6 till 7, for basketball practice. About forty girls took advantage of this opportunity, and under the direction of Miss Hester Sharkey, of the faculty, two teams have been organized from each of the three up- per classes. Although no games will be played with out of town teams this season, a series of interclass games has been ar- ranged and are arousing much interest among the students of the school. HERBERT HANCOCK ' 20. of which won a game for Wakefield, Wakefield was especially fortunate in hav- ing a fine backfield. Frizzell at half-back, was probably the beat line plunger in scholastic circles, while Garniss, who played full-back during the last few games, was a steady ground gainer. Dagnino at quarter, was the life of the team keeping the boys going at all times. On the line, Callahan and LaFave proved to be equally strong either on the offensive or defensive, and the backfield men can contribute much of their success to the stellar work of these two men. The work of Burke and Draper on the ends deserves praise, as both proved invaluable in breaking up the opponents ' plays, and receiving forward passes. Dinan, Grant, Seabury, and Burns, v.ere all players whose work deserves com- mendation. Skulley, Hall, Heustis and Cochrane showed that they were able sub- stitutes and played hard when in the game. Ten members of the squad will graduate this year and Coach Dower will have to build up a new team next fall, but is con- fident that with Callahan, Grant, Cochrane, Heustis, and Hall as a foundation he can turn out a winning team. Football Results FOOTBALL Candidates for the football team wei-e called out Sept. 15, and about thirty men reported to Coach Dower. Eight victories, one tie, and four defeats was the teams record. Three of the four reverses came in the early part of the season before the team really got started. Wakefield won its big game from Woburn 46 to 0. Capt. Cummings proved to be the star of the team his open field running being the fea- ture of many games.
