THE STORY OF THE WEEK
Best Stars As Rindge Wins 1870

As Rindge defeated Cambridge
Latin 1910 in game chock full of riv-
ally from start to finish, the name Of
another outstanding hneman was en-
tered into the "Rindge-Latin" hall of
fame. Young Sammy Best, playing a
guard position for the Technicians,
was outstanding from whistle TO gun
and by his play received the well de-
served plaudits Of the estimated 10000
fans. His name will long be remem-
bered along with such others as Cru
dup, Ward, Boley, Owens, Corbin and
Robart, to name a few of Rindge's
oudtstanding linemen Of yesteryear.
Best lacks the size Of some of those
greats but he is every bit as large as
they were on fortitude and ability.
Rindge's first score came in the sec
ond period on a 42-yd. punt return by
Poirier, one Of the ace ball-carriers Of
the squad. The second and final tally
was made by Bingham, the hard driv-
ing fullback. Latin was never quite
in the game although they showed at
times signs of a good passing offence.
However, the big Tech line kept the
Latin backs pretty well in hand
throughout the contest.
LINEMEN UNSUNG HEROES
Generally, linemen are the main
reason why feet backs get their names
in the papers and yet, seldom, if ever,
are they given credit for their efforts.
It's usually the obscurity of their
playing that hides them from the re-
porter. A back goes tearing through
the line, but few stop to realize that
-or5oArirv 1pI o1vooLoI-- L,J - IL
something in that line to make the
runners progress possible. So it was
with Best against Latin, only this ITO
FOUNDER stood out like a sore thumb
on a hand because he was so consis-
tently making large gaping holes for
his backs to run through. He was
WOW on the defense and simply TER
RIFIC on the offense.
BEST HAD SHAKY START
Ever since entering Rindge Sammy
has had an uphill fight to make the
team. When he first reported, some
three falls ago, the coaches weren't
too impressed with his size. He was
just kid. Despite his size he was
able to hang around through the sea-
son but never once did he get into a
game. Along came his second year
and with it a new hope, for Best had
begun to grow. He yet wasn't any
towering heavyweight, but he was
about as large as the average high
school guard comes these days. How
ever, he still had to wait, for last year
Rindge had one of it's usually large
teams, featuring a line that matched
some of the local college lines pound
for pound. Yes-weight has been his
bugaboo for quite awhile but there
was no discouraging this lad for he
was right back there again this fall
trying to make that starting team
and he did.
Not because Rindge ran out of big
Hnemen nor because they were under
manned, but only because Best is the
best this year. In the Latin game, he
clearly showed the vast crowd, that
had gathered for the Armistice Day
Classic, why he was wearing the
Brown and White Of his alma mater.

Montana COlOred
Fullback Wins Game
with 40 Yd. Pass

MISSOULA, Mont. - Johnny Rea-
gan, 200 lb. U. Montana Colored full
back IS one of the best new prospects in
the Rocky Mountain gridiron confer
ence.
Reagan, sophomore, recently
passed the Q. Montana to thrilling
lO-7 victory over stubborn Gonzaga.
With only two minutes to plav,
Reagan slept back to his own 8-vard
line and threw a mighty 40-yard pass
to Jack Enigh to win the game.
The guardian., 1940-11-16

His blocking and ability to open large
gaping holes on the offense had most
of the spectators asking "who is IT"
On the defense he was just as potent
His tackling was hard and clean and
his defensive work against a good
Latin passing team was praiseworthy.
Unusual enough, Best even drops out
OF the line on put returns, taking his
place about ten yards in front of the
safety man to give him interference.
That his coach has devised such a de-
fense for kick returns and has sent
him so far back out of the line seems
to give evidence of his great blocking
ability.
Yes the Rindge-Latin game
made history again this year as it has
always done in a long list of years
that stretch back into the late COS.
1t also brought forth another star in
the city across the Charles. And this
year, above all others, it brought out
a success story of a little colored high
school guard who wanted to play foot
ball at school that has long been the
testing ground of outstanding college
players. Sammy made good in the
hardest game on his schools schedule
"Who is 17?" .. why, little Sammy
Best. And who is he? Just kid who
wanted to play football for his high
school and despite his barriers had
enough fortitude to see his dream
come true. On his play against Camb
he may well develop into one of the
schoolboy All-Scholastic stars.
DOTTIN AND BINGHAM GOOD
ALSO
1t wouldn't be quite fair to overlook
some of the other fine players Rindge
has on its squad this year. Paully
Dottin, one of the teams good ball car
riers, was not his usual good self as
he fumbled repeatedly when it hurt
most. Dottin has found it pretty hard
going this year because of some in
juries which have slowed him up ire
mendously. Last year he was consid-
cred one of the most promising school
boy backs in this section, but an early
season leg injury has taken the edge
off of his running. He's still good,
mind you, an asset to any team, but
it's because he hasn't advanced any
over his last years performance that
has taken some of the gilt off his play
ing. And all because of an injury.
Bingham, on the other hand, is a
conner. He scored one of the touch
downs, in the Latin game, on
straight line lunge. AS a runner, in
the open field, he has yet to learn how
to get away from men but his speed
is real asset to his backfeld. As
kicker, he is not SO impressive He
takes too much time and then has to
hurry the ball off in such fashion
that many of his punts were almost
blocked. However, the one thing Bing-
ham can do and do a plenty is
pass. He is very accurate and throws
a pas whistling toward its mark.
Agstinst Latin, his passing was one
of the most remarkable features of
the thrilling game. He sort of throws
them with that eff you miss this one,
Buddy, you might as well go on home,
because it's dead at you". And take it
from me, readers, Bingham was really
winging that pigskin.

National Rifle Matches
Begin on August IS

Although the general problem of
preparing troops for large-scale war
time operations is uppermost in the
minds of National Guard units
throughout the country at this time
the problem of preparing a special
few for competitive target shooting
is being pressed along with the field
training operations. A special team
is being formed to represent 1.-The
local Guard at the national matches
at Camp Perry, Ohio, this year.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, COM
manding the local militia brigade,
has designated Maj Just c. Jen-
sen, Ordnance Department, and di-
rector of rifle practice of the local
Guard, to form team. The team
is expected to 60 away with the
local troops to Upper New York
State. But as the matches will be-
gin on August 10, these expert
shooters will have to leave the ma
neuvers right in the midst of the
big war games.
Each State, the District of Co.
lumbia, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
have been authorized to send one
rifle team to the matches, and the
War Department has stipulated that
the daily cost of the IA members
of each team is not to exceed $73.
This means that officer membership
must be limited, as the pay and al
huron of hirl, ro1,lzi,,r NJ
would eat deeply into this limita-
ton. All officials and members of
National Guard team will be below
the grade of major, except that
either the team captain or the team
coach may be a lieutenant colonel
or major. However, the War De-
partment said an application to sub
stitute a colonel for the lieutenant
colonel or major, authorized, or in
clude in the team one field officer
as a team captain and another as
team coach, will be considered by the
chief of the National Guard Bureau.
only if the application shows good
reason for the request and states
that the limiting figure of $73 per
day per team will not be exceeded.
A team member will not be en-
titled to pay, allowances, travel or
subsistence, unless he attends the
national matches for a period Of at
least IA days.
The teams must arrive at Camp
Perry, Ohio, on August 10, except
that those exempted from attend
