Coaches Confer on Train Plans for Local High Schools
At a meeting yesterday afternoon Coaches Dunn Mechanic Sherlock Commerce and O'Brien Latin School agreed to train at the Armory three days weekly Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays beginning today. Each school will be taxed about 10 a day from the athletic treasury with Kenglish using mornings 10 30 to noon and Commerce and Mechanic training together 2 to 4 30 in the afternoon. Latin School athletes and alumni feel underused and may seek a student subscription to pay their share. If O'Brien leaves Latin School athletics may collapse at Warren Avenue and Joe Daly could move to English while Fred O'Brien is sought at Latin School. If O'Brien stays at Latin Joe Daly would move to English and Tubber Barron would take Daly’s place at South Boston High. The Latin School boys will present their case to the school committee.
