Speculation on the Spaulding St. Al.
bans high game to be played in st.
Adams Saturday fayors the former
team. despite the fact that St. Adams
defeated the Burlington high school
team last week. while the Barre team
could do no better than tie in the game
with Burlington This inclination to.
ward Spaulding comes through the adj
yantageous changes which have come
about with the Spaulding aggregation
since the opening Of the season 1t was
at the beginning OF the season that the
home team played Burlington, and
since the team defeated the St Adams
team 200 here on the Lincoln campus.
Coach Robert Ross feels that the St.
Adams game viii prove a hard one and
consequently is making preparations
for such. The players turned out Mon
day and Tuesday for the daily practice,
but with the snow ON the ground yes
terday were compelled to resort to the
school gymnasium for signal practice
only. The line is now the strongest it
has been this season, while the back
field has abundant material There are
now backfeld players and good ones
too, who can change with the regulars
without weakening the team in any
way. With this valuable asset, Spauld
ing's team makes most formidable
high school aggregation, which many of
the high schools throughout the state
already realize. Rutland high, which
claims, thus far, the championship Of
the western and southern part of the
state, has offered u 1925 guarantee for
game to be played on their grounds
on Thanksgiving day Arrangements
have not been completed, but since
Montpelier high has agreed to play the
return game on Nov Is instead of
Thanksgiving day, as scheduled, there
is a likelihood that Coach Ross and
Prin. L. G Hunt will accept the Rut-
land challenge. Spaulding has not met
defeat this season and with the return
of Llewellyn Densmore on end, after
an absence Of two or three weeks,
