The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1919-11-24

which seemed within easy grasp, but
after Capt. Moran had responded with
three yards fate or the break of the
game deereed otherwise and on the next
play signals went wrong and a tumble
occurred. only to be recovered by Chi
copee. This was hard blow, but it
aid not dishearten the boys, who fought
I'll the harder. Chieopee promptly
Kicked to Brattleboro's 45-yard line
and Captain Moran after one play re-
turned the kick to Chicopee's 35-yard
| line and the period ended with the ball
in the middle of the field. Score 6 to 0.
The rapid pace of the first period had
| taken toll on Chicopee and only goes to
support previous statements that much
credit is due to Coach Stolte for the
physical condition of the team, which
although lighter by far than any of
the last four out of five teams they
have met, has not had to play substi-
tutes, with one exception. Chicopee put
] in two substitutes in the first period,
one in the first five minutes of play
and another just before Brattleboro s
costly tumble.
/ Starting the second period on her As
yard lire Chicopee S heavy backfeld
/ again started on q rampage, tearing
hole after hole in Brattleboro' s line
and not until they had reached the To-
Gals 20-yard line did the boys begin
to find themselves.
i Bracing for a stand, Chicopee was
then thrown for two-yard loss. Three
more plays only Melted five yards and
the local team took the ball on downs.
On four plays Captain Moran and
Gorborino made total gain of &c
yards and then along came Eugene
Moran, the 14-year-old freshman, in
an exact duplication of his run which
defeated Deerfeld recently. In this his
first year he has proven his sterling
worth and from this year on for the
next three years will be the last of the
Morans to bring fame to y. II. S.
Fairly screaming his signals, so that
they could be heard by his team, above
the noise Captain Moran called sig
mails for what proved to be one of the
biggest features of the game. At the
snap of the ball f. Moran was off like
a flash through the line and clear OF
the secondary offense, running as he
never ran before. With Captain Cyrar
of Chicopee at his heels he dashed W
the field for 65 yards and planted th'
ball between the uprights. The re
