Montpelier Seminary Defeated by a
Score of 20 to Last Saturday

Montpelier Seminary DeIeated Dy
Score of 20 to Last Saturday
Saturday morning the football
team returned last years defeat at
the hands of Montpelier Seminary by
a score of 20 to O. The field was
heavy and so an exceptionally fast
game was not shown. During the
first period the ball was in the air
the greater part of the time, for the
seminary played a kicking game. At
the beginning Of the second period
the ball was in the possession Of the
St. J. A. team During this period
Gilfillan went over the line with the
ball twice, and Fisk carried it over
for the third touchdown of the peril
Cd Gray kicked two goals and al
the end of the half the score stood 20
to 0. From the beginning of the sec
ond half to the end of the game the
line of Montpelier stiffened and they
withstood the attacks of the back
field. For the home team, Fisk's fast
playing was in evidence throughout
the game as was Gray's generalship;
Gilfllan made some fine plunges
and the line was all that could be
asked for. Especially was the crowd
glad to. see Capt. Russell back at
his position after his layoff. For the
visitors, every one noticed and COM
mented on the grit of Fuller, who re-
manned in the game in spite of a
severe cash over the eye. The line
