HOCKEY The 1940 Hockey Team was unsurpassed by any team in the history of the Bay State League. The Crimson went through the regular season un- defeated and untied-a new record. Not until the last game in the play offs did they falter a trifle, but they Hnished with the best record in the league and won the C. V. Brown Trophy. Grant, Rousseau and Connor proved themselves definitely the best line in schoolboy hockey. Ken- nedy and Leaf fa pair of rugged defensemenj played smart, steady hockey, and had a great deal to do with the fine record compiled. Grant re- ceived the award for the Most Valuable Player.

With a record of seven wins and two defeats, the Watchmakers shaped up as the best baseball team in the past five years. With an almost veteran infield of Johnstone, Lane, Rousseau and Dion, added to 1 slugging backstop, Perley Grant, and Basher Bill Manning in the outfield, the team seems destined to go far. The chief danger is in the pitching department and Bingo Leaf, John Clancy, Bob Clark and Martin Coleman seem to have everything under control here. New comets Bud Carter and Seth johnson are holding down the two remaining positions in approved style. The capable substitutes include such steady players as Billy Park and jack Wolk.

TRACK Y47ith the graduation of George Wheeler last year Coach Brinn found himself this year almost without a place man except Capt. Ernie Frary, al- though a slight ray of hope was found in the per- son of Eddie Demaris, who is credited with a 56 second quarter. Demaris and Rutter run the dashes, Capt. Frary is in the half and Eddie Caine in the mile. Dick Bennet has won several firsts in the broad jump and Chandnoit puts the shot. Others on the squad besides those mentioned in- clude Smelledge, Wanberg, Fair, Fancy, Rogers, Aliseo, Mogan, Falling, and Pendergast. Francis Dougherty is manager. Although the team has not won and may not win a meet this year, the outlook for next year is bright since all the track- men are underclassmen.
