OF the largest scores the local school has
ever rolled up against Burlington high.
According to a statement made by the
high school coach, many Of his regular
men were unable to play, owing to a
failure TO meet scholastic requirements.

up and down the field at will, with the

Sherburne, the big Goddard fullback,
was the star of the game and he showed
all his years form in carrying the ball.
McLeay is one of the headiest quarters
the seminary ever had, and he outgen-
eraled the high school contingent on
every occasion. Chapel and johnson

splendid interference that Goddard had
shown was never more in evidence than
then. Chapel took his turn at trying
for goal, but seemed pursued by the
same ink that had prevented Craig from
sending the ball over the bar. Ames
kicked off again for Burlington, but the
whistle sounded before the seminary
could advance the ball beyond the center

good interference. McLeay went over
