THE Seminary football team played game
at Burlington Wednesday afternoon with
the team of the University of Vermont The
| score was seventy-three to nothing in favor of
Int University men. considering the tram
ing that the latter have had, the score was
not discreditabe to the Seminary boys. A
very slight difference in the strength of two
teams usually makes a big difference in the
score. The Free Press says the Seminary
team was strong in its rush line, but could
not get around the ends The playing of
Beeman and Lewis is complimented This
was the third defeat this season, but there
is no occasion for discouragement, as the
material in the school is very good indeed.
Hard work will make fine team.
