Spencer, Nov. 29.-Yesterday the
David Prouty High School Football
Team completed one of the most sue
cesful football seasons in the history of
the school. The eleven has been de-
feated but twice this season once by
Gardner and once by the David Prouty
High School Alumni. The Alumni
game in which they were defeated was
the first game that the eleven played
this season. At that time the team
was not in a very good condition. A
Stunning up of the points shows that the
David Prouty's have run up total of
1S3 points against q for the football
season of 1901. This is not equal to
the record of the '99 eleven which gave
q score Of something over $50 against
nothing. However, considering the
relative weight of the two elevens, the
eleven that represented the David
Prouty High School this year is con-
sidered in the same class as the '99
champions. The David Prouty's
claim the championship of Worcester
County.
The Spencer people were disappointed
at the failure of the Worcester High
School to accept the challenge of the
Spencer High. 1t was firmly believed
that the David Prouty eleven could
trim the Worcester eleven.
Now that the football season is over
the pupils at the High School are be
ginning to talk of the spring field day.
For many years the spring field day of
the Worcester County South League
has been an important feature in the
David Prouty High School Athletics.
From all reports the team that usually
enters the events from Southbridge will
not compete and reports from the other
high schools are alike discouraging. In
the Spencer school all is different and
athletics were never more flourishing.
For this reason the students all wish
TO see the annual field day pulled off as
usual
The members of the football team
have taken up the game of polo and
they were out today for a few hours
All were somewhat stiff after the hard
season, and the opinion prevailed that
II will surely be three or four weeks
before the members Of the eleven will
be in 6ndition to play polo.
The members of the Athletic Assoc
alton of the school are making prepar-
ations for a baseball team at the High
School next summer. Baseball a the
High School has been a back number
many years. but next year the boys
believe that, if they are fortunate
will be able 10 send out a fairly strong
team.
The Sunday School Of the Holy
Rosary Church held an entertainment
IN Town Hall Friday night. The Sun
day School teachers presented a farce
entitled The Power Of Song" The
entertainment was well attended and
of excellent oder
Charles Bercume was before Trial

drunkenness, Friday. Bercume has a
wife and family to support. and has
been out Of work some time His wife
takes in washing and in that way
earns a living for herself and children.
The evidence was TO the effect that

going TO the grocery store where his
credit was good, buying eggs. and sell
ing them at one of the numerous
saloons in Spencer for beer. Judge

frightened. After he had received some
sound advice from the Judge he was
dismissed on probation.
