28 to 6, Yesterday
THO SURPRISED AT START
The Game Had Barely Been Opened
When the High School Tucked Away
Six Points and Held the Lead
for a Short Time.

! Goddard seminary took its second fall
Of the season out Of Montpelier high
school at Intereity park yesterday aft
ernoon by winning 2s to game.
The contest was not lacking in sur
prises and among these was the touch.
down scored during the first few min
utes Of play by the high school Evil
IDENTIFY the Montpelier team as well as
Goddard had experienced something Of
a bucking-up sensation since the game
played Columbus day, when the locals
won a to 0 victory During the sec
ond half, the high school uncovered sew
eral trick plays but managed to get by
successfully with only one. The SEM
mary eleven fought a hard battle, and
only once during the entire game did
the stiff line waver before Montpelier's
attack. This happened in the first period
when Brooks, recovering j Laird's punt,
swept down the field to Goddard's eight
yard line, and J. Laird crashed through
for the high schools only touchdown.
Feature playing among the Goddard
backs was constantly in evidence, and
the entire quartette occasionally broke
through for brilliant gains. Sherburne,
Chapel and johnson circled the high
school ends again and again for good
distance. MeLeay and Olsen pulled of
some of the prettiets forward passes
seen this year and their part in these
plays formed no small factor in the
ground getting Craig also played an
alert game on the defensive, as did Nc
Leay, who was speedy in getting down
on punts.
The work of J. Laird at quarter back
was one OF the most promising sights
on the Montpelier team. The high
school men also pulled Off some pretty
forward passes, and Others might well
have been attempted during some stages
Of the game. On the line, Montpelier
played an aggressive game and several
times they held the heavier Goddard
team for downs.
Montpelier's Only Touchdown.
Montpelier's touchdown came in the
first few minutes of play. ], Laird
kicked OFF to Peterson, who was downed
on Goddard's 30 yard line. After a
few small advances, during which the
seminarians were penalized five yards
for holding Sherburne punted to Bart
lett. In the middle of the field, a
tumble led +. Laird to punt. Brooks
recovered the ball on Goddard's yard
line and before Goddard supporters hard
ly realized that the game was under
way, the high school team had touch
down tucked safely away, J.. Laird go-
I ing over through the line. He kicked a
goal and just for a few minutes, Mont
pelier led by six points
j. Laird kicked Off to Sherburne, who
carried the ball 45 yards before downed.
A perfect forward pass, McLeay to
Craig, netted IS yards, but after God
dard was again penalized for holding
and had made an unsuccessful attempt
for forward pass, the ball went to Mont
pelier on her % yard line and the period
was over.
Goddard Started Things.
Futile attempts to gain the desired
distance ended by +. Laird punting to
McLeay in the second period Stirred by
the touchdown handicap Goddard here
entered into the fight with zest and
ere many minutes had passed, Sherburne
was over the line for counter. In
the meantime, the seminary suffered an
other yard penalty for holding, but
consistent gains by Chapel McLeay and
Sherburne, paved the way for the lat
ter's touchdown. Sherburne failed to
kick a goal.
Olsen received j. Laird's kickoff and
advanced tha hall IN the eentar of tha
field Goddard resumed its ploughing
tactics and soon had the ball down in
Montpelier's danger zone again. II was
not surprising that the husky Sher-
burne should again cross the line, this
time for the second touchdown, but God
dard's kicking stock took rise, when
the burly fullback kicked a goal. j.
Laird kicked off to Sherburne, who was
felled on Goddards 80 yard line. On
the next play, he carried the ball around
right end for % yards The whistle
sounded the close Of the first half with
