last few minutes of play On one occa-
sion the local school boys came within
hairs breadth OF counting by the
touchdown route and then again when
Sector essayed kick from field which
fell only foot or two short of clearing
the bar.
An impartial comparison of the con-
tending teams revealed the superiority
of the local eleven. 0utweighed per-
haps by fifteen pounds to man, Spauld-
ing's representatives put up one OF the
earnest fights that will be seen on the
preparatory school gridiron this year
The locals displayed a much clearer
knowledge OF the open style of football
and pulled off several forward passes
that fairly dazzled the seminary men.
The Montpelier players showed more
compact method of defense and made
consistent gains through the line.
Several men on the local team covered
themselves with good measure of glory
and football fans will do well to watch
their work on the gridiron this season
Sector is a cool. heady quarterback, and
he handled his men like general. Og
ston.S Langley and Grady proved them
selves to be a trio of aggressive tack
lers and their work Yesterday was con
stantly in evidence. Merrill and F.. Bis
bee showed up in good form for the
seminarians and made many consistens
gains through the line. Milne for S. VI.
s. and Dwinell for NJ, s. also made a
good impression.
The seminary won the tossup and
chose to defend the north goal in the
first half Grady kicked off, Merrill
receiving the ball. L. Bisbee and Mer-
rill advanced the bah well down the
field through series OF line bucks and
skin tackle plays. Near the center of
the gridiron, Merrill took the leather
and started off as if for touchdown.
Sector fell on him after few yards
and thus prevented a seminary touch
down.
Montpelier lost on downs near SpauH-
sings 20-yard line A material gain by
Ogston was the best the locals could
do and Sector was finally obliged to
punt Merrill recovered but the semi

small gains through the line, Spaulding

around right end. Grady later attempted
fake punt but was downed in his
tracks the period ending with the ball
in Montpelier's possession near the cen

During the second period the bali

right end for good distance, perfect
forward pass was pulled off, 0gston to
Grady, and a minute later, another end
run by 0gston brought the ball well
within the seminarys territory. The
whistle sounded with the ball in Spauld-

With the ball in her own territory,
Spaulding took on a new lease of life
and a series of sweeps by Milne and
