16 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY ord this year for several seasons. So far, they have won four games and have tied one, which was with Ware. The first team has outscored their opponents, having made eighty-seven points to the latter ' s seven. Nine times out of thirteen, the team has been successful in scoring the extra point after a touchdown. Webster also has a no defeat record but the Bartlett team only defeated North- bridge with a score 12-6 while the Wells team defeated Northbridge 20-0. The boys have the very best chances of defeating Webster and a very bitter struggle is ex- pected on Thanksgiving between the two teams. We are very fortunate in having a sec- ond team to fall back on if our players are in- jured. Dugas was kept out of the Holden game due to a broken finger but his place was capably filled by Arpin. Early in the sea- son, Blair sprained a leg muscle but the team did not suffer as H. Kaprowski was there to take his place. We were glad to see Gatineau back in the hne-up in the game with Northbridge after having been kept out of the preceding games with a sprain- ed arm. The line-ups are: Tremblay, le; Gatineau and Weaver, It; Francazzi and Champlin, Ig; Blair and H. Kaprowski, c; Favreau and Tillyer, rt; Peloquin and Grant, re; Dugas and Arpin, qb; Pontbriand rhb; M. Kaprowski and Steen, Ihb; Volpini and LeClair, fb. This year the students and Coach Mc- Mahon have formed an Athletic Association. Such an organization has existed in the school before this year, but it was inactive. All students can become members of this as- sociation by paying $.10. This money is to insure a steady backing for the team as the games are sometimes poorly attended and not enough money is received to pay for their equipment. The Athletic Association is governed by the council at the head of which is Mr. Mc- Mahon. Each class is represented in the council by two delegates except the Senior Class, which has three representatives. The managers and captains of the various teams are also members of the council. Officers were elected for the years 1929-30. Councilmen — Seniors: Bertha Love, Alma Lemoine and Elzear Cormier. Councilmen— Juniors : Nellie Misiaszek and Raymond Gatineau. Councilmen — Sophomores : Ruth Clough and Harry Kaprowski. Councilmen — Freshmen : Lucille Munroe and Bernard Fox. Cheer Leaders — Doris Claflin and Edward Paquette. Assistants — Priscilla Morris and Doris Du- brueil, E. W. Tillyer. Managers ; Football — Maurice Clemence, As- f istants, George Page, Thaddeus Kosakowski. Girls ' Basketball — Susan Carion, Assistants, Wanda Kwarciak, Wilhelmina Kania. Boys ' Basketball — Elzear Cormier, Assistants, Clarence Peloquin, Wilson Knight. Buttons have been bought and given to the members of the association. Many stu- dents have their buttons but there are still some who have not joined the A. A. Don ' t be slackers ! ! ! ! SUPPORT your teams ! Every afternoon, the basketball court, built last spring, has been the scene of ac- tive encounters. Already the boys and girls are practicing in that sport. If practice makes perfect, Southbridge should have Class A basketball teams THIS YEAR.

SOUTHBRIDGE 47 UXBRIDGE 7 The football team met Uxbridge in the first clash of the season. The Wells boys proved to be in fine shape and easily walked over the Uxbridge team. Touchdowns were in abundance, Volpini having scored four for the Crimson and Gray team, while Dugas made two and Pontbriand one other. How- ever, the team failed to keep Uxbridge from scoring. This game gave very promising prospects for the oncoming season. SOUTHBRIDGE WARE On October 12, Southbridge met the Ware team on the Hamilton field. Both teams were very evenly matched, each one playing a fine game. Many almost touchdowns ex- cited the spectators, but neither side was able to score. Better luck next time, boys ! SOUTHBRIDGE 13 EAST DOUGLAS The second game played at home was with East Douglas, from the beginning this proved to be a most exciting combat. In the first half, both sides managed to get the ball near their opponents ' goal but to no avail. In the third quarter the Wells team come on the field determined to win. Through of brilliant plays, Volpini was en- abled to carry the pigskin over the line. They failed however, to score the extra point.. In the fourth quarter, through a din of cheers, Captain Dugas made another touchdown and McKay scored the extra point. SOUTHBRIDGE 7 HOLDEN The game with Holden proved to be an- other victory for Southbridge. The ball was gained and lost by either side without scor- ing. Late in the game Volpini saved the day by running for a touchdown. SOUTHBRIDGE 20 NORTHBRIDGE Another victory was added to our list when our team met Northbridge. Early in the game a touchdown was scored following a pass from Dugas to Kaprowski. Pont- briand added six more welcomed points to the score and Blair, having received a pass from Kaprowski carried the pigskin over the line. Dugas and McKay scored the extra points after the touchdowns, making the score 20-0. Good team work! The football team has made the best rec-
