Middlebury College defeated the Uni
versity of Vermont at Centennial Field
saturday and became undisputed football
champions of Vermont for the college sea.
son of 1919. The score was 20 to H. the
winners securing three touchdowns and
kicking two goals, while Vermont made
two touchdowns and secured a safety in
the last few minutes of the game, as
Vermont was seriously threatening the
Middlebury goal posts. and a touchdown
would have tied the score. Having pre-.
viously defeated Norwich Middleb,ry
made good Saturday her claim to the
cham pionship.
Saturdays game was a strange display
or the great national college game with
the exception Of the first quarter, when
Middlebury rushed Vermont off her feet
and secured two touchdowns by snappy,
aggressive playing. the Vermont eleven
played the better football There was no
time during the game when Middlebury
was able to make Roadway through the
vermont line. while the green and gold
| team made long gains by straight line
plunges. securing her two touchdowrs by
this banging Of the opponents line again
and again,
Middlebusy, on the other hand did little
with straight line plays. Her gains were
made largely through trick plays, fake
passes. two completed forward passes.

Showed. as many other games this season
have shown, the lack of experience of the
Vermont team. The ability to win was
there Saturday. but the team was not
sure enough of itself when it went upon
the field, and before it could get itself
together to do it's best work. Middlebury
had broken through the green and gold
defense, blocked two punts and secured
two touchdowns, enough to win a game
Of that character Middlebury had
veteran team under more seasoned gem
