A heavy sigh of relief was heaved Thanksgiviflg Day by
many Barnstable followers as the referee held tho ball aloft
signifying a 14 - 8 Falmouth victory and the merciful end of
a frustrating season that saw virtualy every possible calamity
befall chapter one of Barnstable sports ' New Deal.
It has been hoped that the Red
Raiders could grab this one, there-
by closing out a bad season on a
cheerful note, but the Maroon of
Falmouth were not of a similar
disposition. Spurred on by the
.stingingreminder ot seven straight
Thanksgiving losses, the Gaddis-
men emerged on top after nearly
rumbling away their advantage in
a battle of buttertlngers.
While the Falmouth stands were
naturally ga-ga 1n victory', the
home side was stunned in agony
and disbelief. Slowly the numbness
disappeared and was replaced by
the realization that the most con-
troversial and tortuous football
campaign in many moons was final-
ly over and the Red Raiders had a
long year t heal their woundB and
prepare for 1959. »
The huge Thursday morning
crowd received immediate notice
ot a black day for B.H.S. when on
fourth down a good pass from cen-
ter was fumbled by the Raider
punter with Falmouth taking over
deep in home territory. The Ma-
roon scored quickly, putting the
Red in a hole before anybod y even
got warmed up.
The entire first half was domin-
ated by three things: consistent
gains by Falmouth's line-bucking
sophomore fullback Bull Bowman,
fumbles by both teams and an ex-
iremel y bewildering and unfortu-
nate choice of plays by Barnstable.
These two clubs were very even-
ly matched , and Barnstable could
very easily have won but for a
multitude of sins. The first of these
miscues was a beaut. After Fal-
mouth's lightning T.D. Billy Dow
took the kickoff deep, angled to-
ward the home sideline, slipped the
grasp of two enemy tacklers, cut
back to the middle and gathered
enough steam to rumble some 80
yard s to the endzone. The Barn-
stable rooters made big whoopee,
but the inquiry sign was flashed on
the tote board. Some overzealous
Raider had thrown a needless clip
just an eyelash before Dow lum-
bered across the goal line.
Recovering from this nasty blow
the Raiders advanced the ball to
the Falmouth two. but a pair of
cracks at the heart of the tightly
packed line left them inches short
of scoring. Falmouth took over and
removed the ball from such danger-
ous surroundings. Once again on
offense, Pete Larkin to the air , but
was very badly rushed by the ag-
gressive Falmouth line. When he
was able to get off an aerial his
receivers dropped the well-aimed
tosses like they were hot spuds.
Thus the first half battle raged to
and fro with first, one team and
then the other fumbling away
potential scoring drives.
The second half saw a slightly
offensive showing by the Hughes-
men, but an old bogeyman popped
up to provide Falmouth with a two
touchdown bulge. Tile visitors'
Gary Phillips spotted a teammate
wide open in the sieve-like Raider
pass defense and the Lawrence
High lad waltzed easil y into the
endzone after gathering in the
perfect pitch.
Still in there trying, the Barn-
stable club edged toward the
promised land with Pete Larkin
finally registering cm a well-timed
end sweep. The conversion was ac-
complished in a fashion that would
have made Willie Hoppe proud.
Larkin chalked Up his cue and
caromed a pass off a Falmouth
chest into some Barnstable arms
for a sneaky two-point billiard.
Now able to sniff victory In the
air. Barnstable put on a determined
bid In the closing minutes but just
couldn 't muster the necessary
gains to pull it out. Falmouth,
looking pretty shaky and very near-
ly blowing the whole thing, man-
aged to hold on and gain a hairline
victory. Time ran out, the Fal-
mouth contingent made like the
Democrats , and the downcast Red
1 Raiders shuffled disconsolately
back to their bench where Coach
Hughes looked very, very crushed.
It was a tough slap to the down-
trodden Red Raiders and the new
mentor who had hoped to win the
traditional finale.
Going over some of the side-
lights, we might mention the fine
job done by the Barnstable Police
Department in keeping the over-
flow crowd uuder complete control .
This was a remarkable improve-
ment over the Fairhaven game and
certainly gave the contest an at-
mosphere of class. The cheer-
leaders, however , still show need
of restraint on the sidelines lest
their girlish enthusiasm result in
their being rudely dumped on their
cute charcoal-grey bermudas.
Several inquries. especially to
Red Raiders, occurred throughout
the fray, but the medico plumped
on the home bench seemed harder
to move than July traffic. While
hurt players lay prostrate in the
throes of pain , the sawbones
looked content to sit there until
enbalming was in order.
While the doctor on duty should
be Johnny-On-The-Spot when a
player is felled to make sure an
injury iBn't aggravated , this par-
ticular one was about one step
ahead of Doane. Beal & Ames, and
had to be practically blasted loose
from the splinters to get him on
the field to examine the hurt.
Some wind sprints or a little
warming up on the sidelines are in
order for the doc so that in the
future he can get in the ball game
toots sweet.
The enbankment on the Fal-
mouth side of the field was thickly
populated with once-a-year tacti-
cians known as the Left Bank cult,
who arrive each year on Turkey
Day to disect and evaluate the Red
Raider doings . These members ol
the Mutual Dank of Scathings were
In especially fine fettle nnd their
tender opinions ranged all the way
from abolishing football at B.II.S.
to publicly hanging Coach Hushes
in Depot Square.
Some of the faithful every-
weekers, who know and support
Mr. Hughes, found the air a little
too blue with unklndness and re-
tired to the more placid area in
the vicinity of the coffeef?) booth
across the field.
This Boot Hill cluster of Barn-
stable alumni, who love to rocall
with nostalgia the era of Five-
Yard Fratus, have little knowledge
of the stringent lack of manpower
and crippling injuries that have
plagued the able coaching staff ,
and merely consider the result of
this one game.
Persons interested in joining this
loveable organization can purchase
a kit which includes a ticket to
the Falmouth game only, a book on
single-wing football by Pop War-
ner , an autographed picture of Bill
Bangs , and a genuine pygmy blow-
gun complete with poison darts
capable of hitting a coach from
up to 150 yards. All you supply is
the wind.

'ROUND THE RINK
For the first time ever . I dropped
in lo see a hockey game last Sun-
day evening at the Kennedy Rink
and was greatl y impressed. From
one glimpse this looks like a real
worthwhile sports promotion. The
parking area was jammed ami a
good crowd was on hand in spite
of bitter cold weather that would
make a Spartan sob.
At 50c a pop. the hockey pro-
gram got oft to a juicy start. This
nominal fee is certainly no waste
as fans are treated to a pair of ac-
tion packed games under bright
lighting, with bleachers provided
for comfortable viewing.
Barnstable opposed Falmouth in
the game I watched, and the im-
peccably clad Red and Black Mc-
Swan skaters were on the winning
end. Thrills and spills were fast
and furious and competition keen
and bruising. Barnstable 's La-
Marche had a tremendous hard
shot and made two goals like the

The foot-stomping spectators
roared enthusiastically throughout
and action never lagged as teams
were allowed only four brief min-
utes between periods. Several of
the fair sex, with frostbitten noses
reeking out of fur-trimmed parkas,
looked to be enjoying the speedy
skaters whizzing furiousl y up and
down the ice. These amateur sex-
tets appear to be highly spirited
and well orgnnlzed , and should
continue to gain spectator interest.
This is a good night out, and
may even dent usually impregna-
ble TV, that 21 inch pastime that
has snuffed out many other post-
high school athletic efforts .

Despite a 160 car motorcade , a
spirited sports rally at the High
School on Wednesday night and
the largest and nolsest crowd of
the season at the Thanksgiving
Day game, Barnstable High tailed
to stem the Falmouth tide and
went down fighting 14 to 8 as Law-
rence High of Falmouth broke Its
seven game losing streak at the
Turkey Day classic.
A biting wind , a soggy field and
a hard hitting Falmouth line, com-
bined to put Barnstable on the los-
ing end of a hard fought game.
Fumble after fumble featured the
play on both sides of the line and
uncompleted passes were common-
place.
Between the halves the Falmouth
band, cheerleaders and a special
cast acted Out the days of "(Iriind-
ma and Grandpa " to the familiar
strains of tunes of the 20's. The
Falmouth aggregation was follow-
ed by a marching display by Barn-
stable band and cheerleaders.
According to season statistics
Falmouth should have entered tho
game as long odds favorites. Fal-
mouth had a record of three wins,
three losses and two ties, whilo
Barnstable had a record of two
wins and six losses. Both teams
had met Dartmouth, Somerset and |
Wnreham. Falmouth had tied Dart- •
mouth 14 to 14 in the first game of
the season, while Barnstable meet-
ing this team along the last end
of the season dropped their game
54 to 0.
In the Somerset contests, Fal-
mouth lost 36 to 0 while Barnstable
came out on the short end of a
30 to 0 score. '
• . Falmouth held Wareham to a 6
to 6 ties while Barnstable took a
14 to 0 beating.
During the season Falmouth had
scored 66 points to 86 by their op-
position. Barnstable with 68 points
was outscored by opponents who
scored 194 points.
The Falmouth win this year
brought an end to the seven lean
years Lawrence High has had in
the Barnstable series and leaves
the standing to date Barnstable
eight wins and four wins for Fal-
mouth. Falmouth last won the an-
nual affair In 1950 when they de-
feated Barnstable 21 to 0. Over the
12 year period Barnstable has
scored 171 points while Falmouth
|
has accounted for S3 points.
