The Barton academy football team. as
sisted by Clyde Rines and by Mr.. Wiley
of Barton Landing, played a team from
Newport on the fair ground last Friday.
This was the second game for the academy
boys, while the Newport boys were much
more experienced. During the frs half
of the game the Newport team held the
ball nearly all of the time, but their oppo-
nents succeeded in holding them so they
were unable to score. The second half
was the reverse of the first and the ball
remained with the home team nearly the
entire time. The rush line held the on
slaughts of their heavier opponents and
by the brilliant playing of Rines, Wiley
and Marden the ball was advanced down
the field until at the close of game, after a
run by Rines in which he had gained a
long distance the ball had been carried
well into the Newport territory. As it
was neither side scored, although they
both put up a very creditable game. There
was a certain amount of ~disputing, butt on
the who it was clean and a good game.
The academy boys are rather light to meet
the heavier teamsI which are playing, but
they have the right spirit and with a little
more practice will put up a very creditab bic
game.
