Saturday afternoon at Island park I'M
der a score Of ~ to Z Although one
sided for the most part, from foot
bah standpoint, the contest was at
times interesting, especially the So
ward dash down the gridiron by /
Chandler of the visiting team, after he |
had intercepted one of Plumb s for
ward passes. for their only touchdown, |
Austin $ clever lodging during a 40 |
ward sprint, and Eddie - Moran 5 |
goal kicking After the first fuke
IBrattleboro dove through the first line
trenches of their opponents at will
sailed around the ends and put the
forward pass across in creditable
manner In fact Arms did not have
look-in.
| After the battle Coach stolte ex-
pressed great delight at the punch
shown by his huskies and they certain
lily did work like machine which
promises to receive recognition this
year
What the team needs now more than
anything else is support from the stu
dent body which it represents. This
lis sadly lacking. There were hardly
three dozen students present to see the
boys win either against Amherst a
week ago or at Saturday S game. Both
Coach Stolte and the players feel this
kcenly. There is not the spirit OF CO.
operation on the part Of the boys and
girls which is noticeable to a marked
degree i'm other towns and cities. Coach
Stolte said Saturday afternoon; With
the team Brattleboro has this year,
PLAYING fast, aggressive football 1t
seems to me that the games ought To
bring out the greater part Of the stu
dent body. Other schools come out
with the whole BUNCH and just keep
things booming every minute for the
encouragement Of tho fellows who are
struggling ON the griJirun to maintain
the reputation of the school III athletics.
Why, anyone would think lie was at
funeral over there this afternoon.
There wasn't a school cry during the
whole game. | call il q disgrace to
r the school and a big slight fog the boys
) not TO show some enthusiasm and give
them hearty support. Next week we
) 20 to Keene and the week following
8 Bellows Falls comes here and at that
I game the whole school, boys and girls
, alike, ought TO turn out and just show
what they are made of.
In expressing such views the genial
r coach was not alone. Many others
commented ON the small attendance and
v the lack of spirit among the scholars
Il " There ought to be some way to wake
4 them up, = said one prominent bushes:
T. man. "'Whether the boys are winning
or losing it means a good deal to then
to know that their schoolmates are wifi
them and to hear their shouts of APP
Iproval or encouragement at every play
d made. Not all the students can play
lin the game, but they can help win (
st whole lot in other ways. The players
give their afternoons for a long tim,
g. to get in condition to play and get ne
/, credit from the school in any way il
the way Of merits as some of the Schol
s. ars do who study music and as athlete
do in a great many schools. Not t,

appreciation by attending the games i
~ not the least bit encouraging. ! thin
the girls could do Just as much as tn
boys if they would only wake mp, bu
ne in Brattleboro even the boys seem t
be a lot Of dead ones. -
