Lowell Stops Winthrop, 8-0, For Second Win

Lowell House won its last House football title in 1975. It took the Bellboys seven years to win their next game, an 8-0 victory over Leverett last week. Most figured it would be another seven years before their next victory. The Winthrop House squad was counting on it.

"You're damn right I'm happy." Lowell Player Coach Tom Lamont said afterwards. It's about time."

In yesterday's other House football game Kirkland (1-1) pinned a 14-7 defeat on dunster Mather, scoring on an option pass with one minute left in the game.

In Tuesday's games a currier forfeil raised south House's record to 2-0, Eliot stayed tied as division leader with Soho, defeating Quincy (0-2) 20-0
