Academy
IN FIERCE FOOTBALL GAME
Local School Made Three TOuchdOwnS
Against Team That Had Not
Been Scored On.

On gridiron covered with snow and
with the players slipping and sliding as II
on skates Goddard seminary administered
her first foot bali defeat to Kimball Union
Academy Of Meriden, n. H., yesterday
afternoon BY score of 10 to 0. Kimball
had not been beaten this season up to yes
terday, and In fact, no team had scored a
point against her. Goddard did the trick
but had to play her iereest and best game.
The contest was by far the best Of the
season and the good crowd Of spectators
got their moneys worth. Although push
ed back and beaten the visitors did not
give up for minute, fighting doggedly
against a better team, until the last call Of
time. Both on the offense and the de-
fense Goddard played splendidly, her de-
fenslve game being especially good. So
fiercely did the local team Jump into the
play when Kimball had the ball that the
latter really had no chance to score. Time
and again Goddard took the hall away On
downs or forced Kimball to punt
The latter fumbIed several times and
some Goddard player was generally
on hand to take advantage of the mlsplay.
| In fact 1t was ability to take advantage Of
! Kimbail's errors that allowed the home
team to make more than one touchdown,
although there was no question Of the re-
suit Of the game after the first ten minutes
Of play Several times players we're off side
apd penalties were imposed, aud two or
1 three of the players got so anxious that they
fell to scrapping. They were separated and
no player was ruled out of the game
Cannell, full back for Goddard receiv-
ed severe cut in the head during the lat
ter part Of the second half but puckily
/ finished the game. He, with Capt Dun.
ham and the two ends Wright and Turn
er, PLAYED the best for the home team.
The game opened with Milne kicking TO
the visitors who made short gains and
then were penallzsd 20 yards for being off
side. The ball was punted TO Berry. who
caught and ran so yards, but as he went
ont OF bounds the ball was taken back l5
| yOrds. Goddard then set to work and
never stopped until the goal line was
'ossed CannelI hurdled the line well
and Durham skirted right end for a long
run Of 20 yards and Milne was pushed
across for the first score. He failed to
kick the goal.
Mille Kicked off again aud Goddard got
the ball ou a tumble. BY steady line
plugging the ball Was carried % KimbalI's
three foot line, where the visitors made
fiue stand aud took the ball on downs,
Jenny was sent into the line fof a FIVE
yard gain and the half closed with the
score to for Goddard
Goddard kicked of 10 the second half
and Immediately held for downs 1t was
short way to the visitors goal then, and
the line was crossed chiefly through The
effective work of Capt. Dunham. He ran
4 is yards, was tFipped, started again and
again fell. But he was up and over the
line with X. U A. player hanging to
him before the ballswas tnallydown. Milne
kicked the goal
Again Milne kicked of and Goddard
repeated the performance of holding KIM
ball and taking the ball, this time only 20
yards away from the goal line. After a
few rushes Dunham again crossed the last
chalk line with the final score Of the game.
No goal was kicked
Kimbail received the ball on the kick
off but could not gain. They punted to
the middle Of the field and Dunham ran
25 yards. After that the home team could
not puncture Kimballs line and the ball
went to the other side on downs. But
\ X. III. Al. could not gain and poor punt
gave the ball to Goddard on heropponents
