MAKING SCORE OF p TO Q
The Local Team Has Practically Estab
hshed Ita Right to Title Of YER
mont Preparatory School
Championship.

BY defeating the Burlington high
school eleven on the local campus Sat
urdny afternoon by the score Of y TO Q,
Goddard seminary won ita sixth straight
Victory since the season opened, and has
established by a record that has not been
eqaalled by any team that Goddard has
turned out in number Of years. Berry,
Mcdonald and Slack, the three backs and
the two ends, Alexander and Olsen, make
altogether one Of the best combinations
thai ever represented the school on the
gridiron In these positions. These three
backs ar fast and are distance eaters
with the ball, while the two ends are
capable Of keeping their field clear for
the progress Of the ball.
The strength Of the Goddard line this
year was especially noticeable In Sat
urdAy's game. The high school could do
nothing In bueking against Il and In
fact throughout the game the visitors
only substantial gains were made with
the forward pass, which they resorted 70
often. In the last half Of the game, by
four consecutive forward passes, Bur.
llngton carried the ball nearly the whole
length Of the field to Goddard's Ave yard
line, and but for n tumble which lost
them the ball, would probably have
scored a touchdown.
Burlington came here with a clean
slate Of victories to their credit and with
an announcement that they were going
TO win this game. But their hopes took
sudden fall when In the first ten min.
mtes Of the game Goddard had scored
two touchdowns and they realized that
they were fighting q stronger team.
Goddard had considerably the advantage
In weight and only once were they hard
pressed.
