To the team, its captain, and its coach who believe in fair play and follow the rules of good sportsmanship by playing with all their might, by co-operation with each other, by playing fair, and by being a man no mat- ter what the situation.

None however, were of the cal- iber of the 1933 Baseball Championship Team. Such a team is rarely to be found in local high school ranks. It consisted of Capt. Koziol, Volpini, Werner, Koprowski, Pal- merino, Osimo, Lavallee, Farland, Proulx, Chicoine, Remian, and Beaupre. It was a very smooth running machine and it opened its season by trouncing Holden. Then came double victories over Ware and Spencer and in a return game we again beat Holden. By this time the fans began to sit up and notice what a great team was in the making. We then beat Putnam, and in a series we took two out of three from Bartlett. Then we were not satisfied but immediately beat Oxford. These victories over Bartlett and Oxford High meant the winning of the Championship of the division and meeting Millbury High for the real Championship. Our boys, behind the splendid pitching of Lavallee, proceeded to take two out of three from Millbury, winning the Championship. This team that Wells had put on the field was the answer to a coach ' s prayer. Hefner Wells 4 — Oxford 1 As a result of a triple tie between Wells, Oxford, and Webster for first place, we play- ed Oxford in the first game of the play-off. Palmerino ' s pitching was too much however, and a fast triple play— Werner to Koziol— just finished off the Oxford boys. Wells 2 — Bartlett i In the finals we met the Bartlett team and it was pitching duel for 11 innings between Lavallee and Pietrowski. In the 11th, Ted Farland, with Werner on second, singled and scored Werner. This meant playing Millbury for the Championship. Millbury 21 — Wells 2 In the first game for the Championship our boys traveled to Millbury. Palmerino was on the mound for Wells and Bruninghans pitch- ed for Millbury. Palmerino later gave way to Proulx. We were defeated, but only because the boys were not in the mood for playing good ball. Wells 4 — Millbury 3 That defeat did not discourage our boys and they resolved to take Millbury this time.

NOVEMBER 1933 »9 Nes Lavallee faced Millbury and pitched a beautiful ball game. Our boys soon got at Bruninghaus with a barrage of hits and he was forced to retire. This victory tied up the series with one game apiece. Wells 6 — Millbury o The final game of the series was played at Fitton Field in Worcester. Coach McMahon started his ace Nes Lavallee, and Millbury started Bob Eaton. Nes allowed only 5 hits while Wells found Eaton for the grand total of 14. Red Volpini played a beautiful game. The last inning he had to have his ankles taped but continued, nevertheless. Wells scored in the 3rd, 7th, and 8th. Koziol starred at bat with three doubles, and he was follow- ed by Lavallee with three singles. It was a great ending for the High School career of Volpini, Koziol, Beaupre, and Lavallee.
