mouth team told against the High school
boys. The playing of the home tean was
as fast as that Of the collegians, and the
Brattleboro backs could hold the ball
trine better than their opponents, but their
interference was not as compact as that of
the Hanover boys. Wainwright, the Dart
mouth full back, has played on the varsity
in one or two games this season, and was
without doubt the best ground gamer on
the field. Howard, the left end, who is in
the class of 1901, did some good tacklng
and was hard man TO handle in the inter
ference. Thompson played hard game
at quarter, while McCaughern, a former
Hinsdale half back, was the star on end
