played the heavy T. " NJ. boys in
every way during the first half, but
in the last two periods Vermont put
up good fight. Until Saturday Nor.
wich had not defeated Vermont in
about six years and the surprise the
result created is indicated by the bet
ting which was 5 to on the Burling-
ton team with little Norwich money in
sight.
About 200 students came from the
University of Vermont headed by their
band, and about 1870 from Norwich
also with their band, which, by the
way, is one of the best college band
in New England. The \. L. support
ers arrived on the IL o'clock train
and marched from the Central Yer
mont station to the Wells River sta
ton, where they took the train for
the park. Between the halves they
did their famous snake dance between
the goal posts
All the scoring came in the first
two periods, Norwich getting two
touchdowns in the first period and
another in the second. In the last
period Vermont played a much better
game and had the ball on the five
yard line once but was unable to
push it over in the three downs.
Daley was the star OF the game
and his run of go yeards was the
| feature, He was also strong on break
! ing up the interference and on tack
| ling. Walker in center seemed to
have it over Cannon and Squires
played a good game at tackle. Whalen
outpunted the Norwich man and
placed his kicks so that the ends were
down nearly every time.
For Norwich Underhill was strcng
on buclting the line and seldom fail
ed to make a gain. Kelley and Bur
well We're good on carrying the bali
in a broken field
The latter's speed was remarkable.
He got under Roadway like a flash
and in addition to his speed he show
ed ability to dodge. Indeed, he was
as slippery as an eel. Carpenter and
Smith had the better of the argu-
ment in tackle and many long gains
We're started through holes opened
by them.
Norwich kicked off to Vermont at
the lower goal Macintosh took the
ball and carried it back to the 25-yard
line. Line plunges were tried, but
they were forced to punt on the third
down. n. L. Put the ball in play in
about the middle of the field. The,
first advance was around the end and
netted eight yards. The next through
the line added another yard and the
third produced four yards. From this
point n. L. made their distance on
about every second down. Underhill
carried the ball over the line on a.
skin tackle play and Burweli kicked
the goal, making the score to 0.
Vermont received on the kickoff
and Macintosh ran the ball back !
to the % yard line, but was unable to
make any gain and punted to Kelley |
on the 80 yard inc. n. L. carried the
on the 30 ard line \. U. carried the J
two tries, Burwell tried a place kick
but failed. Vermont had the ball on
the % ard line and tried an outside |
kick but Carpenter got through and
bolcked it, carrying the bali acress for
a touchdown. Burwell missed the
goal
n. L. kicked in the second period
In play on the 80 yard line. A for
ward pass was tried that netted Is
yards and time was called with the
ball on the As yard line.
n. U. punted in the second period ,
and Vermont put the ball in play on
the 30 yard line. Berry made eight
yards on tackle around but forward
pass was tried that failed and Kelley
took the ball back Is yards. Norwich !
made its touchdown soon after this
on an end run by Kelley. Burwell
kicked the goal and the score was
II to 0.
There was little doing during the
remainder of the period, Vermont
making first down twice. Time was
called with the ball on the 40 yard
line.
In the third period Vermont braced
up and played like a new team. The
men received on the Is yard line and
OBrien, who had taken Pierce's place
ran the ball back to the 80 yard line, !
Vermont punted on the third play
and n. L. had the ball on the 50-yard
line, but soon lost it on downs and
Vermont had it on the 40 yard down. |
Neither side was able to gain much
and n. L. tried a forward pass to
Weed, but Daley the feet footed end
for Vermont intercepted it and start /
ed toward the Norwich goal line
The spectators in the Vermont
stands held their breath as two CT n. !
us fastest men were close behind
Daley crossed the 10 yard line and
every one thought he would be able
to score but Colburn had longer legs
and dcwned him on the five yard
line.
Here Norwich showed its fine de-
fensive power and held Vermont for
three downs. There was little doing
in the rest of the period and time was
