Montpelier highs versatile and thor
oughly trained football eleven smothered
Montpelier seminary's gridiron represen-
tatives on the hill campus Saturday aft
ernoon by AZ to score, the winning
team showing some wonderful offensive
playing and an impregnable defense. The
seminary eleven suffered a severe blow in
the first few minutes of play when Cap
tain Pike, the sturdy fullback, was forced
out of the game by a severe injury to
his side. 1t is feared that three ribs
were fractured and he may be out of the
game for the balance of the season. Ora
mai, seminary's quarterback, was also in
jured in the last period.
The high school scored on line plays
and forward passes, having remarkable
success with the latter variety OF play,
at least two-thirds of the passes at
tempted resulting in long gains. The
seminary was unable to gain so yards
by rushing and a worse defeat was avert
ed only by the junting of Hatch, who got
offkieks averaging nearly 40 yards. Sew.
eral times, too, the high school fumbled
when another touchdown seemed prob
able.
Clark proved to be the biggest ground
gamer for the high school, although he
was ably assisted by the rest of the
backfeld, especially Pape, and the latter
kicked five goals from touchdowns out OF
seven attempts. 0ligney made several
long runs and had he shown any inclina-
tion to dodge would have run for a
touchdown several times.
The first touchdown was made by
Smith after II minutes had been played,
the score following long gains through
the line by Clark and Gross. The second
score came at the opening of the second
period, high school kicking off and hold
ing for downs. Clark made a long run
around right end, placing the ball in
position to enable Pape TO carry il across.
The third touchdown came after a
steady march down the field by high
school, Clark catching forward pass
from Gross behind the goal posts. Pspes
30-yard run and short but consistent line
gains made possible the fourth touch
down before the first half was finished.
