Defeated NJ. S,
Collegians Had the Better of the Contest
in First Two Periods and Seminary
Played Better in Last Half.

! The Norwich university second football
team defeated Montpelier seminary team
on the latter's campus Tuesday after
noon by a score of 20 to 0, and not until
the last period of playing did Montpelier
| have IA chance to score but failed that
| time because one of the men did not fall
upon the ball when it had rolled behind
! the goal posts, which, according to the
Norwich coach. would have been a touch
down He saw the play and expressed
considerable surprise that the team did
not take advantage of Norwich's error.
The first two periods OF the game
Montpelier was unable TO accomplish
much against their opponents, but in the
third and fourth periods they seemed to
have the best end or the bargain, many
substitutes having been put into the
game by Norwich and the only bright
spot in these periods being the 70-yard
run of Stacey Clark Montpelier boy,
who gobbled up a ball fumbled by a i
Montpelier player and ran almost the en-
tire length Of the field but he could not
have pulled off that play had it not been
for Wheeler of the Norwich team, who |
dumped one of the Montpelier men who
was close to Clark's heels. II was as
clever thing as has been seen on that
field in long time.
Montpelier, although playing two sub
stitutes in the backfield. did not seem to
be weakened any Hatch ran his team
exceedingly well, in fact, better than it
seemed to have been handled this fall, /
while KERN played as stiff a game as
Dubar has shown thus far II was a
abo g. - ~ Lo
seemed to be the best man in the back
field for the local team. Granai was out
of the game with acute Indigestion, while
Dubar is suffering with spraned ankle.
Montpelier's line played better than it
has shown this year. This is about the
only game where they have been forced
TO show their stuff.
Smith and Clark Of Montpelier high
schools team last year played halfback
and end, respectively, for Norwich, which
,arried great deal of feeling into the I
game Clark is first sub at end for the
varsity and the coach pulled him out '
when there seemed to be an indication
