schools triumphed at the seminary
campus Saturday when Goddard ran
away from the hitherto invincble Yer
mont Aggies of Randolph, the score read
ling 2S to when the game ended. Foot
ball fans who climbed the hill witnessed
the spectacle OF wel-rounded eleven
working as unit pitted against husky
bunch of boys who know the football
OF 1906 and little else. 1t was speed and
cleverness VS.. bucking tactics, a program
which failed against the smoothrunning
Goddard machine. Perhaps the Aggies
have potential possibilities that couldn't
be seen Saturday; maybe they will look
better on the field toward the end of the
season, but once they formed in battle

hopelesslv outclassed. One quarter of
the first period revealed the disparity in
strength and nothing occurred during the
entire performance to narrow the breach
of playing ability between the two.

but it was mostly uncorked by individ-

were needed. Once or twice they were

theatre of play to any considerable ex-

last quarter the only period by the way
in which the hll-toppers did not score,
men went over the line for touehdowns
twice, only TO be called back because of
holding. Two Goddard men in partieu

was unanimously applauded
