M. II. s. Defeats v. II. s.

Middlebury High School has added
one more to her victories on the gridiron
this season by defeating Vergennes High
School on the college campus last Friday
afternoon by score of % to 0, in the
last game of the season. The game was
good clean one, but rather one sided, as
Vergennes had the ball only three downs.
The halves were hardly long enough,
being only ten minutes, otherwise the
score would have been larger.
The game commenced at pm, Mid
dlebury kicking to Nergennes defend
ing the north goal. Vergennes secured
the ball on the 45-yard line, but did not
advance it. Vergennes was forced to
punt, and Martin secured the ball on
Vergennes' 50-yard line Middlebury
then rushed it down the field for a touch
down in about nine downs, Beane carry
ing it over and kicking goal. Nergennes
then kicked to NIiddlebury defending the
north goal. Hadley secured the ball on
the 15-yard line and advanced it to the
middle of the field. Middlebury made
few good gains, Beane made % yards on
an end run, but NIiddlebury, was called
back and penalized for an off side play.
Beane made another gain of about the
same distance around same end, and the
ball was again worked rapidly down to
Vergennes' goal, Fisher carrying it over,
and Beane kicked another goal. Time
for the half then closed
The second half commenced with a
kick off to Middlebury defending the
north goal. Fisher secured the ball on
the S-yard line and advanced it 40 yards.
Middlebury then worked it rapidly down
for another touch down, Fisher carrying
the ball over by an end run of sabout 20
yards, on formation play, Beane failed
to kick goal.
Vergennes then kicked to Middlebury
defending the south goal. Beane caught
the ball on the 20-yard line and advanced
it 20 yards. Martin then made the
fourth touch down for Middlebury but
Beane again failed to kick goal. YER
gennes then kicked to Middlebury again,
and time was called

There came near being serious fire
in the house owned by Ira LaF'leur on
Franklin street occupied by Mrs. Wilson
and Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Bump on Monday
evening. Everything was apparently
all right at nine o'clock when they
went to bed. They were awakened
about ten o'clock by smoke. They
promptly went to work and with the
aid of blankets and water soon put out
the fire without giving an alarm. The
damage will amount to about $50, which
is covered by insurance. just how it
started is mystery.

come will evolve a double-decker, where
one may ride few feet above the road
dust. This will increase accidents and
loss of life, but that doesn't count now.
Again, it is likely to be made an out
law, a dangerous highwayman and be
forbidden the roadway. Some COM
munities have already outlawed it. They
think it dangerous nuisance. For sew
eral months in winter the autos are use
less for business or pleasure; slowed away
to rust out. The talk of the auto being
used for passenger traffic is foolish. To
be used for that purpose they must carry
100 passengers. Imagine that number
coming down Packachoag on rubber
tires. A large number must be carried
if the fare is to be cheap The rubber
tire is too frail and uncertain for any
such business. There may be useful
and profitable field for the automobile,
but it is not yet in sight.
The horse has his outs and there is
danger in driving him, but one does not
have to strap on an extra leg for emer-
gencies. He is not apt to climb trees or
explode. He can be used in winter for
pleasure riding. He may get on the ram
page and run away. But, if he falls on
one he doesn't weigh tons. He doesn't
feed on gasoline and cremate his driver.
He is not so VIGOROUSLY dangerous to the
public as to have to be numbered. If he
runs away, he will work no such havoc
as ponderous road machine. He has
spirit and brains, which the auto lacks.
He is thing of beauty and joy for
ever. Lo, he has thunder in his name
and his nostris belch forth fire and
smoke as the belching cannon on the
field of slaughter.
There are vehicles enough now, what
we want is roads, good roads. For the
display of wealth, nothing is equal to the
four-in-hand, with coachman and foot
man in livery. The most expensive auto
is.a fire tub compared to it. The horse
was made for man; what the auto was
mrde for no fellow has yet found out.

Football CHALLENGE.

The following challenge has been sent
to the Burlington high school by the
Middlebury high school.
MIDDLEBURY, VT, Nov. 10, 1904.
"Mr. Clarence Hicks, Jr.,
burlington, vt.
Dear Sir: Since the Burlington high
school and Middlebury high school has
each won one game of football and
it seems to us desirable to set at rest
the question which team is the better
one, | am authorized by our team to
challenge you to final game which
shall be played at a convenient neutral
point with neutral officials and at as
early a date as possible in your con-
venience. Either Bristol or Vergennes
would be satisfactory place to us.
Each team is to pay its own expenses
and gate receipts are TO be divided
equally between the teams after deduc
ting necessary expenses of officials,
etc. An immediate reply would greatly
oblige.
"Sincerely,
EDWARD H. MARTIN, JR
Mgr. M. II. S. Football Team"
1t should be remembered that Mid
dlebury high school has IS points to
Burlington high schools 16 points, to
say nothing of the six points which
the Middlebury high school insist they
were unjustly deprived of in their game
in Burlington November 10.
The Burlington high school football
team has been defeated but once this
year, which was at Middebury, October
%, by the Middlebury high school
football team by score of 19 to 6.
The teams are well matched and it is
hoped game may be arranged in the
near future.
