W ~" W score OF IL to q.
keene again met defeat at the hands of
the Hinsdale foot ball team at HinsdaIo
Saturday. The score at the end of Ak min
utes play and As minutes kicking was
IL to D. The day was well suited to both
players and spectators and resulted in the
attendance of over 400 enthusiasts A
delegation of about 40 Brattleborians went
over to root" for Henkel. The interest
in the result of the game at Keene was
shown by the 20 who accompanied the
team from that city. They evidently came
for the game.
The Kicking began at 3 o'clock over
Teddy Henkel. Keene said that he
should not play. Hinsdale was quite sure
he would. Mr. Faulkner declared that the
lineup OF the Hinsdale team as sent to
MIN did not contain the name of Henkel
and to play him would be an imposition.
heene had already allowed Hinsdale to
have two Bellows Falls players. John
McCaughern admitted that Henkel's name
was not sent, but as "Teddy" had played
with Hinsdale in a number of games he
was counted a member of the team. But
the defeat of keene cannot be laid to Hen
KEEL Hlnsdale went into the game with
the evident determination that no "lau-
rels' should be carried to BrattlebOro. or
that its victory should be given to Brattle-
Doro players. For this reason Henkel was
given the ball but five times, each time
making his five yards. Austin and Thorn
as of Brattleboro did not play.
Hinsdale showed its superiority in both
offensive and defensive work Their in
reference was well punched, and as a by
stander said, "You couldn't see the ball at
ALL" Hinsdale's play was largely directed
at the tackles. Mason, Thayer and Clark,
the Bellows Falls captain, went through
repeatedly for gains. McCaughren was
the star of the team, however, making a
4O-yard run for touchdown around left
end almost wholly without interference.
He also made the other touchdown after a
run of 60 yards, quickly dstancing Bridge
man, one of the fastest runners in Keene.
Fay improves at every game and is prov
ing himself a strong runner. Once after
being tackled by Blake he ran, with the
assistance of Henkel, for 10 yards before
he was downed. Mason was always called
upon when few yards were wanted. His
interference for the runner was also good.
Whitney at centre was "vertable stone
wall" Hinsdale has pair of progressive
ends who can both tackle and run with
the ball. Blake says be understands how
Henkel makes his gains. He lost his
wind in one of "Teddy's" plunges.
OF the Keene team it must be said that
although they have strong line they can
do nothing without backs who can play
foot ball. 1t is also advisable to learn the
signals before the game. Bridgeman is a
good runner but could not run without in
reference. Kingsbury, although a strong
runner, went into the line too high. All
the backs fumbled, Faulkner ing the
worst offender. Blake, HONEYWELL and
Sturtevant did good work in the line. But
the whole team was always in the game
when there was any kicking. The crowd
was disguised and cries of "Play ball "
could be heard every two or three minutes.
The game without the kicking would have
been interesting.
The game: Hinsdale wins the toss and
takes the western goal. Bake's kick is
caught by McCaughren, who on the first
down and by good interference of the
backs carries the ball to the centre of the
field On the third down Henkel gains Il
yards around right end, which starts the
Brattleboro rooters. Keene here begins tc
