Bewildered by maze Of forward pass
igg, fake kicks and by old-tashionec
mass playing, a section Of Uncle Sam'
standing army rested ON its heels at tht
campus yesterday afternoon while God
dard's embryo football champions were
pilng up a score of 66---l0 touchdowns
and six goals Troop A from TT. Ethan
Allen may know more about military
tactics than the average fist fighter, but
there are Ii Of them whose knowledge
Of footballs finer points is right on the

whispered among friends for the purpose
of discrediting Goddard's 1915 team, for
the schoolboys surprised themselves and
some few onlookers by playing 50 per
cent better than they did on the occasion
of their recent meeting with the YER
mont Aggies.
To those of the spectators yesterday
who saw Coach kinney's colts in their
curtain riser a week ago their work
yesterday was revelation. Goddard
has a team of stars in the making, al
though they do not play individually,
and it needs only strong opposing eley-
en- to bring out the best qualities that
must remain latent just so long as the
seminary aggregation is pitted against
an unskilled combination like the grena
diers who came to town Monday.
Six times the sehoolboys worked the
forward pass successfully. Six times six
they outclassed the troopers in mass
playing and in going down with the ball
they showed remarkable progress. Scarce
" had the whistle sounded in the open
ing period than the advance began, an
advance that later developed into
steady march uptAnd down the field.
Before three minutes1of play had expired
Faulker, who by tue may, lis one of the
sturdiest little.backs-4kat ever donned
Goddard gunnysaek, was Off like a flash
for the first trip over the goal line.
Connor's crafty toe was shortly to send
the ball across the bar and TO oil
score was chalked down. Connor's YER
satility in carrying the ball and booting
it, too, was often demonstrated. Faux |
er's scoring was followed by touchdowns |
in which Loudon, Wiley and Faulker !
again figured in that opening period. 1t |
was q TO 0 when the gong sounded for
the first time.
Right End Goslant got away with a
pretty swing around end at the begin !
ming of the second period and Willey's |
touchdown was accomplished in much |
the same way that Goslant went over.
Common also scored and the end of the
half saw Goddard leading by the likely
margin of AZ. Inertia on the part of
the seIninarians, rather than any re-
doubling OF effort by the Ethan Aliens
was responsible for the low ebb OF scor-
ing in the third period, when Loudon's
journey over the line brought the total
up to So. The shades Of night were fast
settling over the scene when the fourth
period opened, but Falker and Wiley
saw TO il that the majority was pushed
up 10 limit of GO.
Not once did the soldiers make their
downs and their efforts at passing, punt
ing and kicking off were oftentimes
ludierous. Frequently after the first Pc
riod, Goddard kicked OFF TO the visitors,
but their runners up rarely made gains
at all commensurate with their edge on
the sehoolboys in weight In the last
period Quarterback Deegan essayed four
successive passes that failed of reaching
their destination. IN the third period
Lick received a kick in the jaw and had
to be removed from the field. He re-
Vived sufficiently 10 permit his return for
a few moments before the end came
Deegan had good line OF ioshing TO
hand out. Shirley, who played a tackle
position on the soldier team, and Wust- /,
