LONG RUN ON KICKOFF
LOCALS ONLY TALLY
Visitors Then Went into the
Game with a Deter
mined Assault

at the Gospel Village campus Saturda,
afternoon, winning the game handily by
a score of "a to 6. That specular sew
enty-yard sally by Tommie Tomasi or
the initial kick off netted the school boy;
their only touchdown need not measure
materially in an afterglow comparison
of the two teams, for the sophomore
recovered quickly from the momentary
reverse and through four periods they
were usually to be found on the often
sive, adhering for the most part to old
style football and marching the bail
with surprising consistency toward their
opponents goal line, while Spaulding,
though presenting a stubborn defensive
at times, gained much of it's ground
through open work playing.
The game began with thrill for
Spaulding fans and ended with another
| thrill for the home town rooters. There
were several quivers and few more
thrills in between. Darkness had settled
end of the third period and by mutual
agreement the fourth period was cur
tailed seven minutes. In the high
schools cup of defeat there was found
a drop of consolation when the local
lads held on their own one-half yard
line in the last minute of play, Tomasi
taking the ball through the collegians'
line for something like ten yards and
nearer the safety zone just as the whistle
sounded.
Latterly Vermont III essayed several
forward passes, but success came in only
two instances. Spaulding profted more
by the open style and one or two lat
eral passes Melted the scholastic team
more than its best granddaughter could
gain. Gordon, f. Tomasi, and Smith
carried the ball well for the Gospel Viii
layers and J. Tomasi, Smith, Kingston
and Eager tackled well. The sophomores
we're the better tacklers, on whole,
and against their clever method Of
downing the man with the ball, Spauld-
ing's uneNplainable tendency to tackle
high appeared decidedly weak and puer-
lie. If the high school men entered the
game under any apprehensions that they
were pitting themselves against team
no better than the Vermont freshmen,
whom they tied in scoreless game at
Burlington a few weeks ago, those appre- |
tensions were speedily dissipated in thin |
air. Whenever Mcleod, Stllwell or |
Ames, especially the latter, took the |
leather. either one of them was pretty |
apt TO tear a gaping hole in the Spauld. |
ing line. DeCicco was another formid-
able factor in the rush line.
Game Started By Spectacular Run.
One of the noticeable features OF the /
contest was the al-around failure of /
either side TO develop a man who could I
kick goal. T. Tomasi booted the ball
10 good advantage in mid.feld, but Sec
tors poor showing at the goal was ap. 1
preached in crudity by the same unsuc- |
cessful attempts of Merrill. In the
opening quarter, almost as soon as Mer-
-ill had kicked 10 the thirty-yard line,
romasi was off down the field. skirting

On Sectors kick OF, Mcleod ran the ball
back to the center OF the field and

Stillwel and soon sent the ball over

ould not kick a goal. On the next kick
N neither Gordon nor Tomasi could pen
trate the sophomore line and Tomasi
