Rutland Defeats Woodstock.

The " oodstock football players
returned from the Marble City Sat
urdal evening, sole of them bear
ing marks of the mornings encoun-
ter. They were beaten, but put up
Il good &; me against very much
heavier team. The Rutland Her
AIDS report says:
Rutland defeated Woodstock at
football Saturday morning ut the
fair ground b\ a score OF Is to 5.
There was considerable fumbling on
both sides, but the WoodStocks' mis-
plays were the more costly. us Har-
rison on two of these slips got the
ball and dashed down the field for
touchduwns. Woodstock's touch
down was made after the boys from
the east side had obtained the ball
on Rutland's 3o-yard line on a bit of
careless play bv city man in hand
ling kickoff. They followed it
up by some good hard work which
carried the ball oven the line. This
was the only time the visitors showed
any ability at ground gaining, the
Rutland team keeping the ball most
of the time. For few minutes,
however, they made things look du-
bious for the city team.
Rutland had little trouble making
her distance through the line and
reeled off good gains around the
ends. Toward the close OF the game.
however, the Woodstock backs and
ends managed to break through the
interference and down the runner
after small gains, owing to the slow
ness on the part Of the Rutland boys
in getting away.
Rutland scored three touchdowns
in the first half and two in the sec
ond. kicking goals from all except
the last. Woodstock gained her
solitary touchdown in the first half.

through the line at every plunge,
