Two DAYS rain had transformed Lin
coin campus into a quagmire whel
Spaulding high school and the Vernon
| Aggies of Randolph Center FLASHED il
football Saturday afternoon, and the en-
tire game was played in a steady down
pour of rain. Neither team was able Il
/ display its best brand of the gridirol
| game and they were smeared with mu'
from head to foot. Spaulding won thu
game by score of 20 to 0.
The great weight of the soil ticklers'
| did not counterfeit the speed of the loca
school and had the game been staged
under favorable conditions, Spaulding''
score would have rolled into high figures
The speedy Spaulding backs penetrated
the visitors defense with ease. Time
after time these backs picked openings
| into clear field only to be, hindered from
| further progress by losing their footing
in the slime and falling to the ground.
Spauldng negotiated all its points in
| the first half. In the last half the Yer.
mont Aggies displayed Pickering signs OF
| life, but never covered enough ground to
become dangerous. Spaulding showed
great improvement in defense work
They smothered play after play for nc
gain and when the visitors came into
possession of the ball they were nearly
always forced to punt by being held for
downs.
