iniquity of breaking the eight and
breaking the ninth commandment. Thou

"If Mr.. Hlles and Mr.. Bartholdt can

JUNIORS AGAIN WON.
Defeated Their Under-br brothers at Spaul'
ding, 80 to 0, Yesterday.

! For the second time this week, the
junior class of Spaulding high school
defeated the football warriors of the
scrub class at the Spaulding campus on
Camp street yesterday afternoon, on
this occasion the tables reading 80 to O.
Both classes showed improvement in
form over the previous game, and the
generals of both teams were able to run
their respective elevens with machine
like regularity. The yearlings showed
the result of hard practice and, had they
retained the services of Wiley through
out, the second year class would not
have piled up as high score.
In the first period both sides gained
about the same number of yards, the
winners crossing the line once. This
touchdown was made by "Joe" Averill,
the versatile right halfback of the jun
iors, whose work has stood out prom
inently in the series. Averill placed the
ball behind the bars after skirting around
the scrubs left end fol 30 yards. Levin
secured six-point count on short dash
after a series OF plays that brought the
ball within striking distance in the sec
ond period The final periods saw the
older classmen wade through the fresh
men for three touchdowns. Tomas,
Levin and Averill made these points.
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
lows: Juniors Cole, !. e.; Walker, r. t.;
Spear, ]. e.; Broderick, C.; Carroll, r. g.
Connor r. t.; Parker, r. e.; Tomasi, q. b.
Gordon |. h. b.; Averill T. h. b.; Levin,
f. b. The scrubs-Cowie, J. e.; Davis,
|. t.; Mclean, !. g.; Hale, c.; Carroll,
r. g.; Miles, r. t.. Maiden, r. e.; Sector,
q. b.; Wiley, r. b. b.; Prestini |. h. b.;
f. b, N. Brown acted as um
pire and Capt. Langley acted as referee.
Hooker and Sowles officiated as lines
men.
The series between the two lower
classes has revealed some excellent "yar
sity" material, which under efficient
guidance will develop for the regular
team before the season closes. In Aver
i'll and Levin, the juniors have two prom
ising candidates. Averill is clever |
broken field runner and has an intuition
for finding openings on tackle plays. |
