whipped Priory, 4-1. Captain John Brewster put his team ahead to stay with a tally at
the 45-second mark of the first period. Determined to continue their winning ways,
despite Frankie Fulton’s stage managing, the Quaker hockey forces next faced a solid
and more experienced East Providence High School team. Captain John Brewster
rippled the twines four times, with Sesh Cole picking up assists on three of the tallies,
and led the home forces to a convincing 5-2 victory. Journeying to arch-rival St.
Georges, where the teams play on a frozen tennis court, the Moses Brown team was
whipped 5-0 by the Dragons. Next, the Quakers succumbed to a powerful Middlesex
team, at Middlesex, 6-4. The home forces were outplayed by M.B. for the better part
of the game. Only on the strength of a five-goal uprising in the course of the last two
and a half minutes of the second period did Middlesex finally triumph. Against a more
experienced Ponagansett sextet, which was then leading its high school league, the hard-
fighting Quakers came up with a well-deserved 3-2 overtime triumph. Skip Gorman’s
goal on a pass from Captain Brewster made the difference. The Dragons of St. George’s
were the sextet’s next opponents, and it again suc­
cumbed, 4-1. A top-notch performance by the Dragon
goalie was the game’s deciding factor. Larry Tingley
was the one scorer for M.B. The Quakers next
journeyed to Thayer Academy, where they lost an­
other close battle, 2-1. The tying M.B. goal mid-way
through the third period was disallowed, because
an M.B. player was allegedly in the crease. The team,
now with a 4-6 record, was determined to end the
season with two victories. They accomplished half this
task by trouncing Governor Dummer at Harvard
Rink, 5-2. In the final game of the season, the Quak­
ers, for the first time since 1932, beat Pomfret
School, conqueror of high school league champion
Cranston East, 4-2. The team played an inspired
game, led by Frankie Fulton and his Proscenium
A ^ Club line, and was in command all the way. This
victory was a fine and fitting tribute to Coach Pratt,
9 whose brother was the Pomfret coach. The season
officially ended with the traditional lasagna dinner at
Mr. Pratt’s home.
