interference, was able to push the Brat
tleboro team from the Bellows Falls 30
yard line to within 10 yards of the Brat
tlcboro goal before it was stopped with
any success. A faster, more determined
and united attack might have spelled dis
aster.
The local boys are not afraid to tackle,
apparently, but they seemed inclined Sat
urday to attempt tackles before III posi-
ton to make them effective. Frequently
when they did make a good tackle they
did not complete it by bringing down the
opposing player in his tracks. They
struck too high often to make the tackle
most effective.
Brattleboro has a good open play at
tack and the backfeld has been trained to
spoil attempts at forward passes by their
opponents The ends are not often drawn
IN and are fairly sure tacklers, and as for
landing the forward pass there will be
