The foot ball game last Saturday between
the Bellows Falls high school and Charles
town town team proved a very pretty game,
although Bellows Falls was handicapped
by the amount of beef in our home team.
Inc great feature of the game was the ter
rhine playing OF Frank Snow. The visiting
team, though outclassed, put up thor
oughly good game and carried themselves
like gentlemen. In the first half some
good work was done by McCarty and
White. The score does not have to be
given as 1T proves nothing about the game.
If the Bellows Falls team continues to
play in the same way, it will be the best
team in this locality when it gains more
weight.
