OXFORD, MAY 27 The Mary E. Wells High School boys went to Oxford on May 27, and after playing a very good game, came home with a victory of 10-3. Desautels and Litchfield each brought in two runs, besides doing fine as the battery. Tessier played his usual good game. M. E. W. H.

However, Dame Fortune was against us, and we lost the game, mostly by errors, to the tune of 5-10. The bleachers were very well filled, and gave the team the support they needed. M. E. W. H.

However, it was chiefly luck that saved the game, as our team was somewhat over-con- fident. It was not until the seventh inning that our boys began to really work. M. E. W. H.

They were disappointed, however, for they went home with a loss of 13-0 on their minds. All teams have their off days, and this surely seemed to be theirs. M. E. W. H.

Two of our good players did not make the trip, but it re- sulted in a victory nevertheless. In the ten league games we lost only two, which placed us in the second position. In addition to this,

EXCHANGES r S s S V S N S V V V S S V V S» V» » ' » V We, of Mary E. Wells High School, are starting our new year with high hopes of success. One of the greatest helps in mak- ing our paper a success is the privilege of seeing the papers of other schools. Many splendid ideas can be obtained from other magazines. We learn what other schools are doing, and compare their acti- vities with those of our school. We see what other people our own ages are capable of accomplishing.

20 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY we won the two Charlton games. This was the best record in recent years, and next year we hope to do better. M. E. W. H.

Red Desautels was our only scorer, however, taking second place in the high jump, at five feet three inches. Everyone tried hard, but due mostly to lack of training, no one else could stand the pace. Snell, in the half-mile race, led the field for a lap and a half, but could not finish in that place. The girls did very well, considering their lack of training, and it was encouraging for next year. FOOTBALL This year the largest football squad of re ■ cent years turned out, and gives promise of many victories for this season. The team is exceptionally lucky to have as coaches, Bill Nilan and Doc O ' Gorman, as well as the regular coach, Mr. Hutchinson. Both the former men played on their college teams, and know football so well that our team has a chance of winning the majority of the games this season. The team has also been turning out very well for practice, and the fellows are showing their school spirit by hard work on the field. Now it ' s up to us all to give them a boost by turning out in full force to the games, and helping them when they most need it. WOODSTOCK, OCT. 17 Our entire squad journeyed to Woodstock on Oct. 17, for the initial game of the season, which we all hoped to win by a big margin, However, we could do no more than to hold them to a tie, on account of our inexperience ; but as the season goes on we expect the team to improve greatly. Our stars were Schu- macher and Hall, who plunged through the line for long gains whenever called upon. The Woodstock men made their points by an intercepted forward pass which they carried from the end of the field to the touchdown. M. E. W. H.
