Saturday afternoon and Windsor high
won clearly played game. Is to 0.
A mutfed punt by J. Moran on his
2O-yard line in the first period gave
Louiscelle, right end of the visiting
aggregation, whose work throughout
was clever, his chance and he seized
the ball on the first bound and scored
an easy touchdown. Hull missed an
easy goal. The second score came in
the third quarter on the second lineup.
HUH Embossed one of his short passes
to Louiscelle and that player lodged
four Brattleboro men clearly and ran
20 yards for the touchdown. Hull
kicked that goal.
Brattleboro depended almost entirely
upon line bucking plays and Capt. f.
Moran gave fine exhibition of that
and was given at times some excellent
interference. His own fumbles twice
cost Brattleboro the ball when on a
march down the field.
Randall shared with his captain the
rushing honors for Brattleboro and
gave a clever exhibition of runs off
tackle. He runs herd and low and like
Capt. Moran fights for every inch.
Capt Hull of the visiting team gave
a continuous exhibition of tackling that
the Brattleboro boys might well imi
tate. He tackled low and hard and
spilled his man when he hit him. Twice
when he got loose he showed a fine
burst of speed but did not have the
lodging ability of Louiscelle.
Erickson was at right tackle in place
OF Fhayer, whose leg was hurt in the
Bellows Falls game. He was up against
the best lineman in the team in Cabot.
who was frequently through the line,
particularly on plays at this position.
Erickson, however, almost squared ac-
counts by the number of times he GOT
through, and he had as many tackles
to his credit as any of the local line
men with the possible exception of Dun
ton.
The play of the Brattleboro ends
was away below schoolbov par for they
failed either to care for the opposing
end or to do much tackling. Thaver
managed to spill considerable of the in
reference that was aimed his wav, but
Manley showed his inexperience by not
even doing that.
Capt. Moran again persisted in the
use almost entirely of line plunging
plays. He tried one formation once
that ended with short forward pass
which made a first down. but did not
try it again. Twice he tried a short
lateral pass, both times for no gain,
but aside from those and one fake
placement kick which Melted short
gain he stuck entirely to a line plung-
ing game.
The captain, himself, gave a fine ex-
hlblt1on OF line plunging and at times
bored through the center and inside of
tackle for from five to eight yards, but
has tumbllng was disastrous, especial
ly as It occurred just when Brattleboro
was marching rapidly down the field.
As an exhibition it was delight The
visitors played exceptionally clean foot
bail. There was one argument over
decision, which was justified, but no
one but the captain of the visiting
team participated in it and he won his
point as it developed later he should
have done. The team is one that should
be welcome here again.
Windsor opened the game by kicking
TO Brattleboro. Brattleboro, with the
aid of one short pass, worked the ball
steadily down the field to the five-yard
line by line plunges and plays off tackle
until Capt. Moran fumbled a double
pass on the visitors five-yard line and
the ball went to Windsor.
Dunton stopped the first play in its
tracks. Hull rounded left end for 20
yards and after two more failures to
gain forward pass grounded, one Of
the few the visitors tried that went
wrong. With 13 yards to 90 on the
fourth down Hull got off a long punt
his line holding well. j. Moran muffed
1t and Louiscelle picked it up and
scored an easy touchdown Time was
called for the first period as the teams
lined up.
Randall returned the kickoff 20 yards
TO the 40-yard line. He made five at
the visitors right tackle Short gains
advanced the ball to the l2-yard line,
where Cabot broke up two in success
sion, Capt. Moran attempted drop
kick which was blocked and Pasco
managed to get it on the 25-vard line.
Dunton again spilled the play aimed
at him, but Capt Hull rounded left
end and was downed at the center of
the field. The next pass was high and
went outside the playing field and the
argument ensued. When play was re-
sumed Erickson shot through and nailed
the runner for loss. Four of the next
SIX plays were forward passes and all
but one gained ground, but time was
called with the ball on Brattleboro s
20-yard line.
The third period opened with Brattle-
