There was no scoring in the first half, although the ball was in the Cheshire's territory most of the time. There was some good runs made by Eos ter, Barber and Koran, as we'll as poor plays by some of the others. After the second half was begun the High school team began to play football, and Knight was showing fine work. The ball was by several good runs and rushes got down to the Cheshire's goal and @ touchdown scored. Allis kicked goal in fine style and the ecore was 6 to 0 in favor of the local team. The ball waa started in play again at the center, and was eoon at the Cheshire's goal again, when another goal would have been scored but for the error of the referee, who called the fourth down when only three had been had. The ball was kicked out in the field and time was called before 1t WAS rushed to the goal again, and the game ended with the score to o in favor of Wallipgford. Cook of the high school team did not arrive on the ground in time to play, and his place was filled by a substitute. The Cheshires played a plucky game, but were over matched.
