THE QUIVKIt 25 THE 1914 FOOTBALL SEASON AT WOONSOCKET HIGH The football season was not very successful, judging by the number of games won, but the players showed a great deal of good spirit in facing superior teams, and battled hard in all the games. W. H. S., as a member of the int.rsvholastic League, was forced to face heavier teams from the 1 .rger schools in the league. The first game of Woonsocket’s season was a league affair against Hope High at Clinton Oval, Hope winning by a score of 16-6. The defeat was due mainly to the fact that several of our players had never been in a real game before. Cranston High played hard, but failed to score, and lost the game to us, 6-c ; while at Warwick, the home team triumphed 12-c, with two touchdowns. In this game Woonsocket High had the misfortune to lose a touchdown by a margin of tw’o inches. We lest also at Clinton Cval in the Pawtucket game, which was a decisive victory for the visitors, who succeeded in running up a score of 41-0. The Woonsocket High boys showed a great deal of stubborn fight ing spirit in the game against Classical High, when, in the face of almost certain defeat, on account of severe penalties, they held the Providence team to a scoreless tie. Against Technical High, also, they gave abundant evidence of their grit, when on the Tech field they gave the champions one of the hardest games of their season, holding them to the comparatively low tally of 28-0. For the final game, East Providence played here in the most interesting contest of the year. The teams were well matched and with the W. H. S. men growing steadily stronger, the result was in doubt almost to the last minute. Each side made two touchdowns, but the visitors excelled in goal kicking and won. 14-12. Two other games were played, one against Northbridge High and one with Pascoag High. Both these teams fell before the attacks of the W. H. S. squad. Northbridge 57-0, and Pascoag 41-6.
