A NO-SCORE CAME
BrattIeboro High School VS. Stew.
ems High Of CIaremont
Local Players Made a Fine Showing and
Held an Advantage over Their More
ExperIeneed Opponents.

Bratueboro high school football team
| opened fits season last Saturday a. Clare
mont, y. H., 10y playing a scoreless game
| against the fast Stevens high team of
! Claremont The teams were well match
ed with regard to weight and the game
was closely contested from start to fin
ish. The Stevens high team excelled in
some minor points which are developed
I by the experience that comes from hav-
ing team every year. but the Brattle-
/ boro team put up a fast game and had
the advantage over their opponents most
Of the time. Both teams were able to
make their first downs consistently until
they neared the goal line. Brattleboro
suffered seriously by several fumbles
which were recovered by their opponents
The new rule Of having the game dvld-
ed into four periods worked well. as
both teams were in good condition during
the entire game. This change will un-
doubleday save the players from getting
overeNhausted. The half backs were lat
sea" in not being allowed to hold the
man running with the ball but this
change will prevent a large number Of
injuries to the defensive linemen as was
shown In Saturdays game. The local
team was well treated at Claremont and
the best OF spirit existed during the
entire contest.
The game was something as follows:
NHfA hiHS VI stevens won the loss and
chose to kick to Bratteboro. who brought
the oval by consistent gains to about
the centre OF the field, then lost to Ste
vens on a tumble 1t was a close contest
until time was called for the first period
with the ball on Brattleboro's 2S ward
line The ball was put in play at the
beginning Of the second period at the
same relative position at the other end
OF the field. Stevens made their first
downs and things looked a bit gloomy
for the local team but they captured the
bail on downs and Thompson booted il
out OF danger. Both teams had possess
sion or the ball in the remainder OF the
half. Stevens received the kick at the
beginning Of the second half and at no
time was the local teams goal in danger
as the line were able to stop the line
plunges Of Capt. King Of Stevens. The
forward pass was tried. but was unsuc-
cessful with the exception once when
Ellis made a good gain on a pass from
thompson. Weeden and Haskell were
able to intercept the forward passes Of
stevens. Adams and Miner did some
tackling behind the line that was pleas
ing to watch. Thompson and Haskell
were the ground gamers for BrattIeboro
while King and Perkins made the dis
lance for Stevens
