PAWTUCkET WON EASY
GAME FROM E. PROVIDENCE

East Providence faced a verltable Wa
terloo In Pawtucket High, when she was
defeated by score OF % 10 o. The game
was played on the field of the defeated
team with all the loyal rooters out in
force. which made the loss doubly gall
ing.
Superior weight. team work and gener-
alshlp were the things that counted with
the strong and unified assaults OF the
visiting aggregation. II was straight. old
fashioned football that Pawtucket High
employed against their lighter opponents.
What the score would have been had the
winning team resorted 10 forward passes.
onsids kicks and other devices made feas-
ible by the rules of 1906 Is a question.
They had an attack which was consist
ent I'm making the required distance in the
number OF downs allotted. This attack
was sent against every point In the de-
Tending line and only once during the
game did Pawtucket fail 10 make dis
tance.
The game which East Providence play
ed was in direct contrast TO the work of
the visitors, due to the great difference in
the calibre of the teams. Fumbles at criti-
cal times told heavily against the home
talent and may have helped to produce
the state of Generalization which ex-
listed at several stages OF the game.
The attack was i'm an embryonic period
OF development and seemed TO lack cohe-
sion and strength. The fact that IN,
team was so much inferior in the weight
question rendered forward passes, trick
plays, etc, a most valuable asset. but
East Providence showed no knowledge OF
the finer points of the game.
The work OF both teams was free from
unnecessary roughness, factor that
-.
MADE the game more interesting 10 the
large and enthusiastic crowd OF 1900 peo-
pie in attendance. the usual roofing by
each teams supporters was one OF the
features. Aspinwall for Pawtucket and
Bourne for East Providence divided the
honors.
