Observation-Disclosures HIGH

In hard fought game on the local
campus, played yesterday afternoon,
Goddard seminary won her third foot
ball game of the season by defeating the
fast team from Burlington high school,
Although the seminary team slightly
outweighed the Burlington team, the
game was closely contested, and for a
time it looked as though neither school
would be able TO score. In the latter
part Of the last period, however, after
series of whirlwind rushes down the
field by the Goddard backs, Sherburne
went over the goal line for the only
touchdown of the game,
Although tried frequently by both
teams, the forward pass was never sue
cessful, and most of the gains were made
through the line and around the ends.
In Burke, Burlington had fast and
speedy back, who played the game every
minute, and figured in some excellent
gains. Hughes, at quarterback, handled
the team well and proved himself good
field general Shapiro, Frank and Cham
bers were especially strong on the line
Goddard's bacllfeld showed up in fine
form and seemed to profit considerably
from the strenuous practice of the past
few nights Sherburne, at fullback, PEN
etrated the high school repeatedly for
good gains Fisk lived up to his reputa-
tion for being slippery, as well as speedy,
and used the stiff arm to good advan
tage Scott and Chapple also featured
in consistent gains.
At the beginning of the first period,
Allan kicked off for the high school,
Scott receiving the bali and advancing it
well down the field. Goddard failed to
make any appreciate gains. Sherburne
punted, but the high school could not
gain, although Goddard was penalized
at this time for blocking. Shortly after,
Allan attempted drop-kick for the
goal. but the ball went wide of the
mark into Sherburne's arms. He was
downed on the six-yard line, however,
and when the whistle closed the period
the ball was in Goddard's possession on
her nine yard line.
At the opening of the second period,
Sherburne made a poor shift at punt
ing, the high school recovering the ball
few yards down the field. After max
ing two yards through the field, Hughes
took the ball and circled around left
end for gain of ten yards. Allan, for
the high school, again essayed drop
kick, but Fisk intercepted the ball.
Gains through the line by Scot and Sher
buTne eliminated in an attempted for
ward pass, which, however, fell into the
hands of Burke, the period closing with
the ball in Burlington's territory.
Chapple kicked of for Goddard in the
second half The ball went down on
then took the ball around left end for
one Of the best gains of the game. The
seminary took brace at this stage and
held their opponents for downs. Repeat
ed gains by Scott, Fiske and Sherburne
brought the ball to within five yards of
the Burlington goal line, but the bali
went to the visitors, who held the semi
nary for gains on the threshold of the |
goal The ball changed hands several
times during the remainder, with the
marked gains by either eleven The /
whistle blew when the ball was on Bur.
lington's S0-ysrd line in Burllngton's |
possession.
Burke started something at the open
ing of the last half by circling the semi |
nary's left end for % yards. Bullock, |
however, fumbled on the next play, and |
the ball went to Goddard As yards from
the seminary's goal line It was then |
that the local eleven settled down to
steady gains, which finally resulted in /
the only touchdown. Fisk and Sherburne |
proceeded down the field in turn, going /
at the high school line like battering
rams. Sherburne was at last pushed |
over the line, with only few minutes |
left to play. Chapple failed to kick
goal Chapple kicked of to the high |
school, with only minute more Of play. |
The high school desperately tried the
forward pass, but the seminary quarter. |
back pilfered the ball, and when the
whistle blew few seconds later Cod /
dard had the ball on Burlington's As
yard line
The two elevens have long been rivals, /
and frequently during the course of the
game heated discussions arose, in which /
