However, the call for candidates brought out some very fine material. Since the Suburban League did not resume its schedule, matches were played with familiar rivals among whom were Belmont, Xeedham, Newton, lYinchester, Lex- ington, and Hingham. Led by Bob Dodge who was number three man in the '45 State Tourna- ment, the team upheld the record of its predecessors who had lost but one match in three years. Undoubtedly the most improved player of the year was Ed Gallagher, whose speed and ability were vital factors in the success of the McNealymen. Second Row: Mr. MeNealy, K. Dodge, J. Supple, D.
