ever, large crowd of enthusiast assem-

, were present, but the cheering never ap
preached the high-spirited demonstra
tions which mark the midseason con
tests of these two schools.
To the men on the hill who are shap
ing the destinies of Goddard football this
autumn belongs the credit OF putting
into the field well-rounded team in
early season. Spauldings eleven lacked
finish and its failure to offer united
defense spelled defeat. Potentially, II
seems, Spaulding had a football team
that will make the best OF them hustle
before snow flies. The high school boys
need drilling With deplorable paucity
of preparations the school boys essayed
an open offense that bewildered them
selves as much as their opponents. A
straight line attack with a sprinkling of
end plays would have brought them more
in the end Both teams were penalized
infrequently and usually for excusable
infractions of the playing rules. In two
notable instances, however, the penalties
were paid for deliberate misconduct and
the offenders paid well for their deeds

excellent harmony. Goddard broke
