Even in good weather, Adams House probably couldn't challenge Cabot-North in a house football contest.
Disregard the fact that a wet ball yesterday caused four Adams fumbles on the quarterback snap. The strength and size of Cabot-North are enough to destroy most house teams on any given day.
"We have a great line," halfback Jerry Roper said of Cabot-North's offensive front. "Adams just didn't have the size that we have."
Roper himself was partly responsible for the whitewash. The senior runner, who gathered 66 yards on eight carries against the Flames, tore apart the Adams defense from play one with dashes of 14, 12, and 11 yards.
On its opening 83-yd. drive, Cabot-North scored in no time as the three successive runs by Roper, two runs by Tim McMahon, and a 28-yd. pass to Jon Pelletier from Ken Tsunoda brought the Quads down to the Adams two.
