Around Their Opponents and Ran UP

Brattleboro high school cut circles
around Keene high school in Keene Sat-
urday, winning the football game by the
overwhelming score of SO to Z. Only
once in the contest did Keene make
consistent gains. Then the ball was car
ried from the centre of the field on
short line plunges for touchdown.
Brattleboro showed some weakness in
defensive work, but was strong in rush
ing the ball, the backs carrying it re-
peatedly through the Keene line and
around the ends for long gains. Wheel
er was the individual star, running low
and hard and taking the ball forward
for gains of 10 to 20 yards many times.
Haskell made two or three long runs,
on one occasion going 40 yards for a
touchdown and evajing four men who
attempted to tackle him. Angler also
showed up well in advancing the ball.
Rice's touchdown was scored in a pc
cuiar play, Angler fumbling the ball
after he had gone over the goal line
and Rice falling upon it. Crosby's touch
down was made when Cook broke
through the Keene line and blocked a
punt In the line Forrest Wentworth
was very effective, both in opening up
holes for the Brattleboro runners and in
stopping the Keene backs. Cooks play
ing was also noteworthy. Russell, Shea
and Sweeney were the Keene men who
made the best showing. 1t was a good,
clean contest in which both teams
showed the sportsmanlike spirit.
