Btattleboro high and Vermont acade |
my furnished the most spectacular
football exhibition seen in Brattleboro
IN several wears Yesterday, when the
local team outplayed the visitors in all
but the first part Of the first period
and in the closing minutes of the last
period and won by . score of p TO Is.
Men who witnessed the Carlisle Dart
mouth game and another who saw the
Princeton Yale game said that there
was more spectacular work in this
school game yesterday than in either
Of those games.
Everyone likes to see scoring in any
game, and they saw it Yesterday. Min
cr, who is fleet footed runner and
about rs good a dOdger as scholastic
football in this territory has permitted
to exhibit himself, cut loose with a
run of 20 yards before the game was
fairly started and left his opponents as
| il they were tied to the several chalk
marks. He intercepted forward pass
and travelled like a streak of lightning
until he planted the ball back of the
Brattleboro goal posts. lie missed goal,
/ however.
Whittemore on several occasions got
/ loose for wide eirclng runs. and with
g
worming his way through the opposing
line. He also tackled viciously. Cap
tain Angler again proved himself mas
ter of the art of making 4 long for
ward pass and Wilson did not fail once
to grab the ball when il was hurled at
him. Those passes cut lots Of lee in
the matter of tone hdowns.
Chase, who is not famed for being
built close to the ground or for weight,
by STOPPING over faced Harris, who
stands n shade under five feet and
weighs 235 pounds. Chase blocked 4
punt sauarely and time after time
tackled behind the line for losses
which indicates who did some OF the
playing on that side Of the line.
WILSON especially, PLAYED strong
end game. Both he and Harlow fire.
: quently broke up the Interference and
: nailed the runner as well, but occa-
: sionallv Miner got loose and when lac
| did left a string of would-be tacklers
: behind him. The same was true OF
Bacon. another speedy man, who once
GOT through the line and left q string
OF secondary defense men lying behina
> him. 1t didn I pay to let one of those
] backfieid men get under way. The in
terference furnished them was not OF
: the best, but once they cleared the linz
, they were mighty hard TO stop.
