Goddard seminary and the Vermont
Aggies from the state school at Randolph
Center figured in the opening OF the 1910
football season in Barre at the campus
Saturday afternoon, victory going TO tne
seminarians by score OF 70 70 Y. ~
was a better game than the initial CLASH
between the local school and the Aggles
last wear. when the Randolph team was
showed under through lack OF aggressive
attack and failure to provide a defense
against seminary football eleven that
was far and away its superior. both
teams are more evenly matched this
wear and had the visitors got the jump
on their opponents instead OF permitting
their opponents to get the jump ON them,
the outcome OF the game might have re-
bounded more to the glory OF the agri-
cultural votaries.
The Agoies came to the campus with
record of having won two victories TINS
season. but the memory of last years
swapping must have fingered with them,
for they played the first two periods IN

forming was decidedly crude at times,
but on the whole the eleven worked wen
as a unit and for a first appearance
Coach Kinney's recruits did mighty Well
Only few veterans are IN the seminary
lineup and the occasion offered an OPP
portunity not only for some several pig
skin men to make their FIRST bow in
Barre. but also presented the new coach,
r. z. Kinney, a former captain OF st.
Lawrence university's varsity, the oppor-
tunitv to show how he can handle his
men in a pinch. Weather conditions
were favorable and large crowd saw
the two schools in their initial clash.
The Aggies' weakness in kicking was
never more sadly demonstrated than at
the opening of the first period, when Abb
bolts bad boot enabled Goddard to re-
cover the ball and push it up the field
to within a few yards of the Randolph
goal line. Before five minutes had
elapsed, the ball was on the l0-yard line,
but the seminary lost on downs. Aggies
attempted punt, but the ball went out
of bounds and when it was restored 70

had figured so prominently in the frst
rush, crcled around right and went over
the line. He failed to kick goal.
Goddard retained the offensive in the
second period and in spite OF frequent
penalties the locals were soon marching
into the enemy's territory. Randolph
essayed forward pass, one OF several
that were attempted by both teams, but
failed. At the next turn, Garner punted
and Goslant, making a pretty recovery,
carried the ball to the four yard line.

Conner and Wiley working il cleverly
for a nice gain. johnson was soon over the
line for the third touchdown, but Con-

With the long end of n 10 to 0 score

II i vet too early TO judge the new

servers who watched the contest were
agreed that Coach kinney has obtained
some very commendable results IN the
short time that he has bad TO whip his
