Saturday was a great day for the
Goddard foot ball team when it de-
feated Montpelier Seminary on the
grounds Of the latter by score Of s
to 0 in two 20 minute halves. 1t was
about as close and interesting a game
as has ever been seen at the Capital
City. The teams were evenly match
ed although M. s. was much heavier
and Goddard was plainly the superior
in the matter of interference.
Both were weak on defensive play,
M. S. repeatedly making short gains
Of from two to five yards through the
Goddard line while the latter ra1 at
will around the ends for gains Of from
ten to forty yards. Goddard lost two
touchdowns through inexcusable fum-
bling ind misunderstanding of signals,
but in spite of this they kept the ball
we'll down in the opponents territory
most OF the time.
The officials were Messrs Orton and
Waddell of the U. V. NJ, and their
work was beyond criticism. It is due
them to say that two more able off,
cials never have presided over game
between the schools. They we're
absolutely fair in every particular and
there was 40 holding or of side play
that escaped the vigilant eye Of Um-
