The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-11-12

either Nov. - or Thanksgiving day,
and after il was all over a demonstra
tion took place such never had been
seen in Brattleboro during football
season. Each one of the players was
called up individually while the stu
dents gave them the three cheers, and
they did not forget the manager, Had
ley Gibson, nor their efficient coach,
- Dede'' Stulte. The latter was forced
reluctantly to face the music the same
as the others. II was fully 20 minutes
before the enthusiasm died down and
tn, crowd left the field.
keene kicked off and Davis fell on
the ball. Brattleboro opened with weak
advances but lost TO the enemy on downs,
and they i'll turn attempted a for
ward pass which returned the play in
to the hands of the home team. Ed.
and Justin Moran then made a few
substantial gains at Is and 20 yard
clips but their outfit was penalized %
yards, upon complaint of the visitors.
In retaliation for this setback Plumb
drove down the field for 20 yards, fol
lowing which he made O handsome for
ward pass to Austin for another space
Of similar measurement. Ed. Moran
then drove through the line, placing
the oval close to the objective point.
Keene held the boys admirably for
three downs. when Harry Plumb made
touchdown of the encounter. Ed.
Moran kicked the goal.

/ with no material gains they were forced
/ TO punt, which returned the play to
/ Brattlcboro, Austin capturing the ball.

/ ing point and the ball went back to
keene. The visitors then attempted
a forward pass, but this was inter
| cepted by Justin Moran and the period
ended with maneuvers in progress along
the enenly's l0-yard line
At the very opening Of the second
act Plumb plunked the pigskin between
kecne ) goal posts for the second tally
and he slipped il over on pretty little
forward pass from Moran which was
sprung so quickly that Capt. Casil-
10 s army was off guard. Again Ed.
Moran hoisted the ball for a goal

hold it, for Austin Jumped into a for
ward pass with the ball within %
yards Of the goal. Keene returned the
compliment and stopped an aerial
flight and Jones smashed his way
through Captain Randall : line for o
wide stretch, this being followed by a
punt TO the 20yard mark again. Plumb
made a pass TO Ed. Moran for a 10
Iyard recovery and the lines fought bit
