SpAULDING DEFEATED

The Spaulding High School football
eleven went to Montpelier yesterday
afternoon and lined up against the Mont
pelier High School team for return
game to the one recently played on
Central Park.
The two teams were pretty evenly
matched as to weight and both put up
\ fairly good game. The play of both
teams WAS clean and all right Lut the
Montpelier Seminary students, especial
ly the football Elen gave one of their
old fashioned exhibitions of dirty work
and their conduct during the latter part
of the first half, when there seemed to bs
a good chance of the Spaulding teams
scoring, would have disgraced any crowd
of hoodlums.
Opening the game Montpelier kicked
to Durham who caught the ball down
near the goal and started right off up
the field for a good gain. Spaulding
kept gaining but lost the ball and then
Montpelier gained. Baldwin was sent
through the line, but Cole gave flying
leap over the whole lot and downed
him in his tracks, causing him to drop
tho ball. In the mixup that followed
Kennedey got the balland was down the
field for u touchdown before anyone
realized where it was. The goal was
kicked making the score 6 to in les.
than five minutes from the start
Barre kicked then but the bali went
only little way For the next few
moments first one team had the ball
then the other but when time was called
Barre had the ball al the center of the
field.
Opening the second half Spaulding
kicked off again and Mantpelier advan-
ced the ball some eight or ten yards.
The teams took turns at having the ball
but Spaulding was working 1t steadily
along for a touchdown when the M. S..
rooters began their funny work and
prevented any scoring.
The line up of tho two teams was as
| fol1o-s.
