Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-10-17
Score Was Twenty-six to
Nothing.

Goddard scored a second we'll earned
victory Saturday when she defeated
Norwich Unisorsity by a score of 2G tc
0 in two 15 minute halves.
1t was a cola, rainy afternoon and the
gras. being slippery the Goddard boys
were forced to take more time in their
formation thsp usual but even as it was
they struck their opponents like whirl-
wind and were always ready for the
next rush before the other team could
find its bearings.
The game opened by n. U. kicking off
against the wind. Lamb caught the ball
and behind excellent interference he
carried it well down the field then with
out waiting for "a signal the ball was
quickly snapped, back to Lamb who
punted GO yards with the result that no
Norwich man was there to receive, this
gave N. U. the ball on their 20 yard
line and they began by bucking God
dard's line and in gains through the
tackle until the few Goddard supporters
present began to feel great anxiety for
| the result. 1t appeared however that
the boys were only sizing them up for
Goddard suddenly seemed to be inspired
and grittnx their teeth they tore through
the interference like bull dogs stopping
three consecutive rushes wilholl the
gain of one single inch.
From this time on Goddard improved
and in very short time Clough was
given the ball for an end run. His
interference was perfect and he never
stopped until behind the goal line in
spite of the fact that the n, IT,. official
frantically blew his whistle to stop him
in his mad career, Lamb failed TO kick
the goal.
N. U. kicked off once more and the
same operation was gone through except
that after N. U. got the ball from the
punt they were unable to gain their
distance once in spite of the efforts of
the N. u. officials to contract the dis
tance for them and only twice during
the remainder of the game did N. U.
gain their distance while Goddprd was
held for downs but once, The remainder
of the first half was but an exhibition of
good interference and team work on the
part of the visitors and at the close they
had made three touchdowns but no goals
were kicked 80 the score stood Is to 0
in favor of Goddard.
The second half opened with Flagg
kicking off against the wind and sending
the ball way down to goal line, Orsen
caught it but was downcd with small
gain l he home team made vain efforts
10 break through Goddar.l's centre but
Nash, Stearns and Severance proved
themselves a tower of strength and
although the N. L. backs were all
heavey and swift men they could not
find pregnable spot in their opponents
line. They were held for downs with a
loss of yards and Goddard carried the
ball directly oven the line.
N. U. kicked off again and Goddard
instead of putting kept the ball for the
sake of practice on interference. They
were held once for downs as the result
of a tumble and N. U. as a last resort
once more tried the ends but young
"Ilinkey"' Iioughton was through them
like q flash ard the man went down in
his tracks. Campbell was tried but he
got his man by q pretty tackle. They
then wound up'their career by striking
against the centre and there again they
met Il Waterloo for all three centre men
were just where they belonged and the
bail changed back to Goddard in the
same spot as when they gave it up.
From this time on Goddard kept the
ball, Campbell ran we'll with the ball
and Clough followed his Interference
finally while for the four stars of the
team Flagg, Lamb, Tenncy and H..
Houghton the greatest praise that can
be given them is to say that they played
their usual game.
In the latter part of the game Lamb went
through the centre and although every
one supposed he was down he came out
of the pile with five N. U. men upon his
back. These he shook off like so many
HES and was off down the field bound
straight for the goal line when he lost
his balance and to save himself stepped
over the side line. Another touchdown
was soon made however and n. U.
kicked off again. Goddard repeated
her former tactics and had the ball on
NUS yard line when time was called.
Only one goal was kicked so the final
score was 26 to in favor of Goddard.
The University men were much heav-
ier than the Barre boys and were appar-
entity very agile but their VISITORS plainly
outclassed them. Norwich has better
team than b. II. s., had in the last game
with Goddard so the boys deserve much
credit for the score which they sue
ceeded in piling up.
