ATHLETICS FOOTBALL During the last week of September Coach Goodreau called for candidates for the foot- ball team. About twenty men reported at the Central street playgrounds. Most of the time was spent in falling on the ball, kick- ing. Passing and line bucking were also practiced to a great extent. After practice Coach Goodreau promised to have Flynn, one of the Holy Cross star back field men, come to Southbridge to give the squad some plays and to show the team how college foot- ball is played. The next Saturday the play- ers walked up to Capt. MacKinstry ' s farm for practice. Coach Goodreau introduced the team to Flynn and a friend of his who had accompanied him from Worcester. Flynn soon had our team lined up and gave us some formations and plays that Holy Cross had used against Harvard a week be- fore. The practice lasted about three hours, and it was the most strenuous one of the sea- son, but the team was well pleased at the way things were running. After that, the team practiced on the playground under Coach Goodreau ' s direction. Shine Pierson, star south-paw of the A. O. Co., came out and gave the team some points. Season ' s Games S. H.

The score of 13 to 7 does not show at all the real strength of the High School against its opponents. Duck Duclos and Tiger Tetreault scored the touchdowns for Southbridge. Tetreault gave fine exhibition of line-bucking. Capt. MacKinstry and Duclos got away with some fine end runs; the whole line played an exceptionally fine game. Lineup : SOUTHBRIDGE— 13 Lavalee, r.e.

The visiting team came to town fresh from a 14-0 victory over Bartlett High of Webster and expected an easy win as they had also trim- med Fiskdale 41-0. The Palmer team out- weighed Southbridge 20 lbs. to a man, but were out-played by the plucky Southbridge eleven.

22 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY Bed Lavallee was the star of the game, his tackling was superb, he broke up many of Palmer ' s plays. Bean also played an ex- cellent game at end. His 25-yard run after grabbing a forward out of the air was one of the best plays of the game. The line played its usually fine game. Lineup : SOUTHBRIDGE— Beane, I.e. Beck, l.t. J. MacKinstrey, l.g.

Co. field. The Southbridge team completely outplayed the Fiskdale team, the score being 32-0. Mac MacKinstry was the star of the game, getting four touchdowns. The speedy Duclos was in every play. He showed some wonderful iuterference and al- so got a touchdown. Red Lavallee played his same fast game. Tbe back-field was working smoothly and the Southbridge team ' s goal was never in danger.

The Fourth Game The fourth game was played in Palmer, the score being 28 to in favor of our op- ponents. In this game the Southbridge team was handicapped from the start, as Duclos, our star back, missed the train connections, and did not arrive until the second half of r.g., Faulkner c, Austin l.g., Dwyer l.t., Slowick I.e., Banks q.b., Jones r.b.b., Kempton l.b.b., Sanders the game and also by the injuries received by the full back Tetreault, who had to be carried from the field during the first two minutes of play. MacKinstrey was also slowed up by a wrenched knee. Jabber Mackinstry, who replaced Tetreault played a great game. The Southbridge line did not play its best, and Palmer put over her four touchdowns by line smashes. During the last quarter Southbridge threatened to score.

Fifth Game Southbridge, although a far lighter team, completely demoralized the Webster defense with a series of fake plays and criss cross combination plays. The feature of the game was the carrying back of the ball on the kickoff by Quarterback Cougdon. South- bridge ' s first touchdown came by line {dung- ing and the second when Tisdale, S. H. S. fullback, intercepted a Webster forward pass and dashed ninety yards for a touchdown. The game was broken up by the Webster spectators with only two minutes to go be- cause they did not agree with a decision made by Umpire King. Lineup: S. H. s.— 14 Lavallee, r.e. Spielman, r.t.
