! Showing an unexpected return to form
after playing spiritless tie with Mont
peier seminary few days previous
, Spaulding high school smothered the
football eleven from st. Johnsbury aead-
envy at the Gospel village campus Satur-
day afternoon by the score of 32 to O.
0utweighed several pounds TO a man, the
school boys from Spaulding outplayed
their opponents from start to finish. BY
carrying the ball cautiously and with a
greater degree of generalship by an i'm
proved knowledge of signals and by a
more compact attack and defense, the
Spaulding teatm played in manner that
contrasted strongly with the work of the
visitors, as well as its own performance
in the initial game, A sodden field did
not improve the form of either eleven.
At times il rained and conditions as a
whole on the gridiron were not conducive
to the open style OF play.
Spaulding scored within four minutes
after the whistle sounded for the kick off
and with the scoring thus well under way
it straghtway became apparent that
there was something potentially weak in
the st. Johnsbury defense. The high
school boys were held for downs but
three times in the four periods. while the
Caledonians seemed to be doing their lev
ell best when they made their downs
three times Referee Levin had an eye
single for infractions and penalties were
frequent, with the violations committed
on a $3.50 basis The academy team
lost Is yards for holding and again there
was repetition Of the penalty for trip
ping. Jameson proved himself a shrewd
little general, but with a raw and some
what untutored team to handle, his per
Torrance did not stand ont in the same
brilliant way that Wilkins called off the
plays and kept his teamates on their toes
necessarily. The brothers Tomasi, Johan
and Looie, are prime stars and they
shone brilliantly in every other scrim-
mage. Thompson. Bailey and Pierce
looked good. r. Farnham was the big
gest ground gamer for Lily White boys,
but he had an unfortunate faculty for
developing injuries in every period.
The high school scored its first touch
down with J. Tomasi ploughing through
the line consistently and with yards to
his credit at every plough. Watson had
kicked off to st. 1ohnsbury, Gibson re-
but the bulky boys from Gale
donna could not advance. J. Tomasi
missed the goal. On the second kick off
Jameson and Lampher essayed an UNI
successful forward pass and when the
ball was returned to Spaulding on the
St Johnsbury 30-vard line, l.. Tomasi
went through for the second count, his
brother failing to kick goal. The pc
Rod ended with Spaulding at the II end
of the score. after Watson had kicked
the ball to St r.
ST Johnsbury braced a bit in the sec
ond period and Spauding seemed to lack
the punch so conspieuously shown in the
opener Spaulding lost on downs but
the visitors failed to advance and as the |
clarion notes of the whistle sounded. the |
ball was Spaulding's In the third pc
riod p Farnham kicked off TO wilkins. |
who circled the right end when the ball |
was restored to scrimmage and after the |
first worthy pass of the game wilkins
to Maiden the plueky little quarterback |
went over for the third touchdown. |
Thompson kicked clever goal, the first |
IF the game. Nothing more happened |
until the fourth period, although Spauld-
ng was penalized Is yards for holding |
