He was Bruno Malin- owski. Our high school was fortunate in securing his services on his return from the armed forces of the United States. He is a graduate of Abington High, Dean Academy, and Holy Cross College, where in each respective school he starred in foot- ball, baseball, and basketball. When our season opened, a nine-game schedule stared us in the eye. With the task of really re- building the team, Coach Malinowski greeted a squad of about fifty boys and set to work to make a football team. After about six weeks of hard practice, Whitman was ready to face its first opponent, Bridgewater. As our team was green and inexperienced, our Coach really was not too impressed with our practices before this game. But the boys showed real spirit and fight, and Whitman emerged with a 6 to 6 tie. Our next game was with Stoughton at our own Legion Field. When Whitman entered the game, hopes were high for a first victoryg but these hopes were surely smashed when Stoughton pushed over for three touchdowns. In the first quarter, Whit- man's Co-Captain Eddie Giberti caught a 50-yard desperation pass from McClellan and crossed the goal for the first time in the game. Stoughton won, 20-6. The next opponent on our list was Stetson High of Randolph. This team, which at the end of the season emerged undefeated and copped the State Class D Championship, ran roughshod over Whit- man and emerged with a 31 to 6 victory. The next Saturday, a very formidable opponent faced Whitman. Milton provided the opposition, and it was opposition! Through effective blocking and running Milton emerged the victor by a mere 40 to 0 score. In this game the whole squad had an opportunity, and considerable experience was gained for the future games that faced us. Navy Day, the next Saturday, we journeyed to Plymouth. Until then, Plymouth was riding high, with a string of victories. Scoring twice in the first quarter, Plymouth appeared to have another easy day. But in the second quarter Nutter took a pass from Harrington good for 30 yards and a touchdown, and the victory did not seem too sure. By expert blocking and efficient tackling Plym- outh did hold till the final whistle, but victory seemed sure for Whitman. Plymouth Wong but it was close, 13 to 6. After a week of hard drill and practice Whitman faced Rockland-a rival for many years. Whit- man's hopes for victory were dashed when Rock- land blocked a punt in deep Whitman territory and on the next play scored. By valiant spirit and fight and excellent team play Whitman again put itself back into the game. In the final quarter, Whitman scored on a pass from McClellan to Co- Captain Eddie Giberti, who raced over for the score. Rockland luckily emerged a 7 to 6 winner. The next game took us to Attleboro, where again we found a very strong and powerful team. By expert playing on the part of Brine, Harrington, McCarthy, Comerford, Jones, Hogg, Brown, and Giberti, Attleboro held to just an 18 to 6 score. Again Lady Luck was not on our side. The eighth game of the season was on hand, and Hingham was the opponent. Having the strongest team in years, Hingham came to Whitman very cccky. The Whitman team threatened all through the game, and in the second quarter pushed the ball over the goal line: but the score did not count. In the final quarter Hingham scored. It was a thoroughly scared team that traveled back to Hingham with a mere 6 to 0 victory. The final game of the season was the annual Turkey Day Classic with Abington at the Abing- ton High Field. The game promised to be close, and a crowd of about 7,000 watched keenly the rivalry of the schools. The score at the end of the half was Abington 12, Whitman 6. In the third quarter a run of 80 yards for a touchdown by Bert Brine was nullified, and this really put the game on ice. Abington showed a little too much power and speed late in the game for the Whitmanites and emerged a 27 to 6 victor. Our season closed with a banquet for the team in January, at which sweaters and letters were pre- sented to the members of the team. Although the season was not too successful, Coach Malinowski spoke of his hopes for future championship teams representing Whitman High. Outstanding players in the squad were Co- Captains McCarthy and Gibertig Straffin and Danner, Garrigan, Hill and Brown, Nickerson and Hogg, Comerford and Stetson, and last, but not least, Bert Brine and little Red Harrington.
