The senior class foot ball team of
the High school was defeated by the
Methodist Sunday school team Wednes-
day afternoon by score of 7-G The
Sunday school team was greatly
strengthened since the last contest and
was more truthfully an all-orthodox
aggregation. Although lighter, the
scho3l-boys showed superior team work
and kept possession of the ball a great
er part of the time Kaine made the
school-boys' touch down in the first
half and Averill kicked the goal. Bet
terly scored five points for the Sunday
school by securing touchdown after

ANOTHER EASY THING.
GREENFIELD FOOT BALL TEAM PROVES
NO MATCH FOR LOCAL ELEVEN.

Brattleboro Scores Six Touchdowns and Four
Goals in Two Short Halves Massachusetts
Men Unable to Secure One First Down
Game Replete With Brilliant Individual
Work Noticeable Improvement IN Work OF
the Home Team.
The Brattleboro foot ball team did
all sorts of stunts with Greenfield in
Saturday afternoon game. 1t tore
holes of all sizes in the visitors line,
cut circles around their ends, hurdled
their center, crawled under their
guards and scored six touchdoWns dur
ing two comparatively short periods of
play. the final score standing $40 IN
favor of the local eleven. In reality
the game was nothing more than stltl
practice in offensive work for Brattle-
boro. Only twice during the play did
Greenfield gain possession of the ball,
and neither time was the Massachu
sets team able to gain the necessary
five yards. Although heavier than the
home team the line of the visitors was
decidedly weak and could not with
stand plunges of the opposing backs.
This weakness was due in a large meas
ure to the method of play. none OF the
men getting sufficiently low when on
the defensive. Greentield's ends were
her strongest points but they were
poorly supported and therefore inef-
fective against Brattleboro' compact
interference.
Despite the ease with which Brattle-
boro won out there was noticeable
improvement in the work of the team
over that of last week. The interior
ence was stronger. especially around
the left end, and all of the men seemed
in better condition and able TO play
faster. There are still many weak
nesses. however. one especially being
the inability of Brattleboro backs to
Judge punts accurately and catch them
after they are Judged.
The game began with Brattleboro
kicking off to Greenfield Twice the
