VERMONT ACADEMY IL, KEENE HIGH SCHOOL 0
| Vermont academy closed her foot ball
season by playing Keene high school at
| Keene, last Saturday, November %. The
DAY was quite warm, and there was an
| exceptionally large crowd in attendance
| The game was called at $50 Keene
| wins the toss and v. A. kicks off to White
on the 35 yard line But K II. S. fumbles
and V. A. gets the ball on the 40 yard line
Stitt then makes a 20 yard gain through
left tackle. Then by variation of line
| plunges V. A. carries the ball TO Within
| two yards of the goal line. Here X. III. S.
proves herself equal to the emergency and
| holds for downs. After advancing the ball
| about Is yards, Keene is forced to punt
Arson gets the ball, and, by skillful dodg-
| ing, brings the pigskin back to within %
yards of Keene's goal. BY straight plunges
| and end plays, the ball is brought again to
the 2yard line. CampbelE then carries it
over for touchdown seAnson kicks the
goal. Keene then kicks off to Sherman on
the % yard line and advances yards
Worthy gains 10 yarus on, a line play then
by double pass Stitt gains 25 yards. BY
a succession of line plays, ". A. carries the
ball to Keene's % yard line, when time is
called. Score--V. A. 6, X. II. S. O..
In the second half Keene hicks off to
Sherman on the 20 yard line. " A. tries
an end play but makes no gain " A.
then attacks the Keene line so iercely that
Keene is unable to withstand the assault
and the ball is carried to the II yard line
Here V. A. gets little unsteady and
Keene gets the ball on a tumble. But v.
A. Immediately forces Keene to punt.
Here, again, V. A. fumbles, and Keene
gets the ball on her own 81 yard line. "
settles down to business once more and
holds for downs, Keene being unable to
make an impression on V. AS line. V. A.
advances to within Is yards of the goal,
but here she is penalized for offside play.
1t is now third down and ID to gain.
Captain Campbell dares not risk an attempt
to gain the distance, so takes advantage of
the 20 yard retreat. The ball is then adj
vanced to within one foot of Keene's goal.
Campbell then goes over for the second
touchdown, with only four seconds left to
play. Arson fails to kick goal.
Az no Illne during Gne game was V. A. s
goal in danger. Keene played we'll but
was clearly outclassed. Her backs and
ends played the best game but tackled too
high. For V. A., Putnam excelled in the
line work. Back of the line, Campbell,
Stitt, and Worthy did good work, while
Arson proved himself a star at running
the punts back.
This game ended an exceptionally sue
cessful season for Vermont academy, she
having lost but one game, being defeated
by her rival, Gushing, at Ashburn ham.
But in the return game, V. A. defeated her
rival by very decisive victory. In only
three games has she been scored on and
has rolled up IA points to her opponents
20. She has also the honor of claiming the
championship of the Vermont preparatory
! schools.
1t is with pleasure that we speak of our
coaches, Messrs. Orion of U. V. M. and
Charles of Bellows Falls. Mr. Orion
proved himself an efficient coach, and, to
great extent, the success of the team is
due to the spirit and enthusiasm which he
put into the players Mr.. Charles also
proved wonderful help, giving us many
points and improving the team work in
many ways.
The lineup was as follows:
