Lowell, Winthrop Win House Battles

The tail-end games of the 1942 House football season were played yesterday, neither game being of much consequence in the final standings of the League. Winthrop foiled Kirkland 6-0, and the Lowell eleven rose to win its second game of the year from a fast-fading Adams team, 6 to 0.

The Winthrop-Kirkland affair showed the power of the strong third place Puritans as they stepped one futile step nearer the Leverett aggregation. Kirkland could not put on a consistent offense against their opponents and never once got inside the Winthrop 20-yard stripe.

Dick Segnitz sparked the Puritan tally when he broke loose early in the second stanza around the midfield stripe, and traveled all the way to the five-yard line before he was pulled down. Three plays later, the only score of the game was pushed across.

The other contest of the afternoon saw last-place Lowell win its second game of the year, displaying huge amounts of defensive power to a bewildered Adams team that never once crossed the midfield stripe. Bellboy right guard Charley Gardner provided the margin of victory for the cellar team, when in the second period he stole the ball from Gold Coaster Pat Culliton and romped 30 yards for the game's only score.
