ILLEGAL.
County Foot
Ball Playing.
BUT FOUR TEAMS
Comply With Rules of the
Worcester Co. Association.

Spencer, Nov. 6.-The townspeople
who attended the foot bali game yes
terday afternoon between the David
Prouty High School team of Spencer
and the North Brookfield High School
eleven, were very much disappointed,
not at the result of the game, but at the
makeup Of the North Brookfiell team.
The North Brookfeld eleven goes I'M
der the name of a high school team,
which it has no right to do as there are
three men on the team who have no
connection with the school at all
The North BrooSheld boys, however,
came to Spencer and played under the
conditions that they agreed TO- and the
Spencer boys found no fault. Spencer
thinks if the teams are going I'M
der the name of high school, that they
should be made up Of students of the
high school, who are in good standing
AT meeting of the executive COM
mlttee, consisting of two scholars from
each school, and the advisory commit
tee, consisting of the principal of each
school, of the Worcester County South
Athletic Association, it was voted that
no team should represent it's respective
school in any branch of athletics UNI
less the members Of that team were
students of the school in good stand
ing. Out of the six schools which of
the high schools are members of the
| association, composed of North Drook-
| field, Southbridge Barre, Warren, Lei
cester Academy and the David Prouty
| High School of Spencer, the South
bridge and Spencer high schools are the
