Coach Maiden's Men Played
Together with Good
Discernment

| The Montpelier seminary football
team outplayed and outgeneraled Bur
lington high school football team on the
Montpelier campus Wednesday after
noon, defeating them by score of 26 to
0. At times it looked as though the
visitors might possibly score, but then
Captain Jeffrey would pull his team into
shape and stop them in their efforts.
The first and last periods of the game
seemed to have been the best played of
the match.
| Burlington seemed to have but three
players in the game-Howe, wilkins and
| Fluery, who We're everywhere, and if
any of these men had been put out of
the game because of injuries the home
team would have piled up larger score.
The home boys played like machine.
Coach Maiden, when he saw that he had
the game Gagged, put substitutes into the
match, thus giving them chance to
earn their varsity letter.
That the local team could have earned
more touchdowns had they been forced
in the matter is undoubtedly true. The
baekfeld worked exceedingly well, al
though Granai got mixed up a couple of
times, resulting in losses of territory.
The line worked as well Wednesday as it
has appeared this year, from the specta
tors point of view.
In the first period Burlington had
chance to score. They carried the ball
along the field to within 20 yards OF a
goal when Montpelier took ii away from
them and carried it back towards the
Burlington goal, when the period ended
hut it did not take the home team long
to score in the second period. -Four
rushes carried Ward over the line for
the first touchdown of the game, but
Hatch failed TO kick the goal

the ball over for the last touchdown.
Hatch punted out but the ball went bad
and the attempt for the goal was not
allowed The rest of the period amount
ed to little.
Burlington got away several good for
ward passes in this period and had a
chance to score, but mistaken judgment
when on their opponents six-yard line
spoiled the opportunity. wilkins threw
some nice passes and did some clever
running. Having carried the ball to the
point named above, he tried to force the
line, which resulted in Montpelier taking
The ball away from them. They were at
one side of the field and end plays, if
anything, would have scored; but they
lid not play it that way and lost their
,hances. Montpelier took the ball on
Towns and started down the field on
march with long gains on open forma-
ions which carried the ball almost TO
heir opponents goal line. However,
lime prevented their scoring again, the
ball being only about Is yards from
he goal line when the final whistle blast
