Keene High School at Keene.
| The Keene high school foot ball team did
not score on our high school boys Saturday
| afternoon and at one time only, were they
| able to carry the pig skin nearer the Brattle
boro goal than the twenty five yard nine.
| The game was very satisfactory to, the sup
porters of the B. H. S. boys considering the
| fact that 1t was their first one. 1t was much
more evenly contested than the score shows,
and 1t took the hardest kind of work for the
| boys to get their twenty-five points. The
| team work was fair but we shall eX pect to
| see 1t improved very much tomorrow. The
weakness In Bratteboros play seemed to be
in placing too much reliance on the man with
the ball and not giving him the right support.

won the toss and took the ball. Keene had
the east goal. The Brattleboros started with
