Plucky Contest Satur-
day Afternoon

Spaulding high school football de-
feated Montpelier high school on the
Montpelier seminary campus Saturday
afternoon by score of 10 to 0. Prob
ably the score would have been larger
had it not been for the hard booting
that Greig gave the ball on two occa-
sions which gave Montpelier an advan-
tage they would not otherwise have
enjoyed On these two occasions Greig
punted the ball from near the center
of the field over the goal line with the
result that it was brought back to
Montpelier's 20-yard line. Had the
ball stopped before it went over the
line it would have brought SpauIding
nearer their desired goal. However,
the same punting of Greig kept the
Montpelier team from having any
chance to score, although they plugged
away at the task, showing good fight
ing spirit all the time.
Greig, Smith and Mcmahon starred
for Spaulding, while Donnelly and
Lamperti did the clever work for Mont
pelier, with Conf showing up in nice
shape. Montpelier placed the strong

have been to have used Gallagher at
right guard.

atty for Spaulding offside helped Mont
pelier some but tumble was soon
made which Ladd gathered up, ending
the period. After a skirmish or two
Smith made some good gains; then a
tumble occurred and Lamperti gathered
up the ball but was forced TO punt,

carried the ball almost to the goal line
at the left side of the field and it was
