THE ANNUAL 1937 HOCKEY Couch, John Howard, Ctzpmjrz, Roger Beersg Nlmlagw, Alan Mooney. Games played, 9, Won, 4, Lost, 4, Tied, 1. Outstanding games, Walpole, Wellesley. Outstanding players, Art Reid, Roger Beers. Entering into league competition with only a few days practice on ice, the 1937 edition of the hockey team fared remarkably well. The puck-chasers checked Wal- pole's plans for the league championship by heating them one to nothing. On the other hand, Wellesley, runners-up to the champions, ended our hopes for the cham- pionship in the last league game by a score of one to nothing. Art Reid was Chosen to guard the nets for the All Bay State team for the second successive year. Roger Beers and Charlie Chapman were selected for the second team. At the Close of the season Tom Meehan, stellar defenseman, was chosen to captain next year's team. December Framingham December Waltham . January Needham . January Walpole . January Quincy .

Outstanding runners, John Watson, Lincoln Bagshaw. After securing a coach late in the Season, the team showed some spirit. Due to a technical error the team lost the Class B relay carnival. At the state meet the team surprised all spectators by taking third place, principally because of the running ofjohn Watson and Lincoln Bagshaw who placed one-two in the 60 yard run. These two also took first and second places in all the races they ran. At Arlington the team was barely edged by a score of thirty-nine to thirty-eight because ofa weakness in the field events.
