HAMILTON 3-M1DDLEBURY 0.


Hamilton defeated Middlebury three
to nothing on the Middlebury College
campus Saturday, October %. The two
teams were evenly matched in respect to
weight. Middlebury exhibited supe-
rior brand of defensive and offensive
play but this advantage was offset by
short comings, such as fumbles at criti-
cal moments, which doubtless can be
ascribed to the short time that the pres
ent combination has had to perfect its
machine. On the other hand, Hamilton
though unable to gain through the line
or around the ends and although they
showed inferiority in defensive play
nevertheless through good generalship
and trained unison succeeded in scoring
early and in retaining this lead. A fun
BILE within the first three minutes of play
gave an opportunity to Hamilton. They
drop. kicked the goal which gave them a
lead of 3 points. Middlebury lost three
opportunities to offset this. Hamilton
had to punt time after time. The play
was very open. Several spectacular
forward plays were made. Captain
King and Leonard starred for Middle
bury. Triggs proved an effective man
in the open field. Jones tackled excel
lently. The officials were: Referee,
Logan of University of Vermont; UNI.
pire, Williams of University of Yer
mont; head linesman, Agnew; field
judge, Lahiff.
