Fine Exhibition of Line Bucking =
Score 20 to 0.
Outplaycd in about every department
IN the first two periods and early in the
/ third period, Brattleboro high braced
and pushed the strong, well coached,
, heavy Deerfeld Academy team all over
the field in the last two periods, but
lost by score of 20 to 0.
The figures do not represent the real
( closeness of the contest, for twice Brat
, tleboro got within the tve-yard line
and twice more inside of 10 yards of
the goal line of the visitors but could
not push the ball over. When final
time was called Brattleboro Yves march
ing down the field again with line
plungcs and well played forward passes.
The game was pleasure to watch.
While Deerfield made numerous substi
tutions they were not because of inju-
rics but in part at least because Adams
and Plimpton and BetterIey and Dun
ton were completely outplaying their
opponents. Capt. Edward Moran and
Randall were having big holes opened
for them at guard and tackle and were
giving fine exhibition of line buck
ing, especially in the last two periods.
Dcertield kicked off, but Brattleboro
could not make a first down in three
tries and kicked. Deerfeld, showing a
versatile attack by backs who twisted

down the field for a touchdown. Tumev

Brattleboro tried short kick. As
usual the ball went to the opposing
team. Again the visitors in spite of
the fact that Plimpton stopped two
plays in succession in their tracks.

down. No one caught the punt out and
there was no try at goal.
Deerfeld kicked off to Capt. Moran
who was downed on his 23-yard mark.
Alternating with Randall at short
plunges through the line at guards and
tackles, Capt. Moran carried the bali

covered the ball. Capt. Moran fumbled
