The Barton Academy football team de-
feated the Lyndon Institute team on the
Playground last Saturday afternoon by a
score OF 10 0. The teams were closely
matched and the game was contested In a
very spirited manner. The snow on the
ground was the cause of several fumbIes by
both teams. The home team put up a
much better game than when they played
on the ground earlier in the season. Sew
eral OF the boys succeeded in making some
very brilliant individual plays. The Wis.,
ltors lost because of their ina ability to make
a better showing in team work. Both
teams played very plucky game. Con-
siderable credit is due the Barton
boys for their success as they have had no
outside assistance but have worked the
game out alone. There was a good attend
ance from Lyndonv1lle although but few
Barton people were on the grounds.
