The Gilbert Football Team, under the coaching of Roy Kent, made a commendable showing of themselves this season.

The 1950 squad began its season on September 16 with Lee. The first game was a victory with a score of 6-0. The next game, scheduled with Enfield, was cancelled because of polio which affected the squad with the loss of a member, Curtis Case.

The third game of the season with Junior Republic was also a victory with a score of 13..,. The Gilbertonians were again victorious when they played Canton, with a score of 6-0. The game made the third consecutive victory for the team.

To prepare for the next game with Seymour, we had a Pep Rally. The object of the rally was to arouse the players and student body since this was to be the high point of the season. In spite of the facts that Seymour had a larger team, that it had won the three preceding games it played, and that our squad had to play on a strange field, the Gilbertonians were still triumphant with a final score of 6-0.

For the first time during the 1950 season the Gilbert players were defeated by Farmington, 27-18,

The next-and second to the last-game with Lyman Hall put the team on victory road again with a score of 6-0.

To complete the schedule, the squad dropped a heartbreaker to East Haven and were defeated 34-7.

The Gilbert Football Team fought hard, giving a good account of themselves, and are looking forward to a very successful season next year.
