The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-10-09

there may be a real and honest doubt
The play about which the doubt
arose was the one which was to decide
the victor in wellfought contest.
Rutland had scored hree points on as
pretty dropkick as ore might wish
tc see; Spaulding was struggling hard
to offset thai three point lead and,
taking the ball in its own territory
| had plunged by a series of well-ex-
ecuted plays far into Rutland terri
tory, at which point perfectly played
forward pass put the ball into the
hands of fleeing end Down the field
he raced, with several Rutland men in
sharp pursuit. The pursuers gained
as they almost always do in foot
ball game; yet the slender Barre youth
crossed the line and was making for
the rear of the goal posts when he was
tackled fercely by Rutland man
Down they went, and so fierce was the
tackle that the Barre boy was tenn
porarily knocked out and lost posses
sion of the ball, whereupon a watchful
Rutland player fell on the ball behind
his own goal line. Was ii a touchdown ?
Was the loss of the ball due to the
player being temporarily incapacitated
by the fierceness of the tackle? Or |
was ii a clear case of a tumble and |
fortunate recovery by Rutland
That was the doubt, and an honest one
it seemed to Spaulding; hence the APP
peal to the central board. The central
boards decision, whatever it is, will
be respected by Spauldng; and it is
hoped that it will be respected by Rut
land notwithstanding the claim made
in the Rutland Herald's story of the
game that it will be Rutland's victory
no matter what the verdict.
By the way, the contemporaries
write-up of the game was SO manifest
ly affected by Rutland partisanship
that it did not do justice to Rutland's
opponent, for the article was glow
ing tribute to the Rutland teams
prowess but did not make mention of
the fact that aside from one fine run
by Rutland player Spaulding prob
ably gained two to one in actual rush.
ing of the ball and was nearly always
more threatening than Rutland despite
the apparent advantage of Rutland in
weight Rutland was well.coached in
the very essential point of following
the ball, and it was due to its capa-
city to follow the ball that Rutland
was always able to take advantage
Of a tumble. Otherwise also the Rut-
land team put up good game, but
we should have said that Spsulding /,
really deserved the victory on the mer- !
It's OF the showing. However, if the q
central board should decide the dis.
,uted point in favor of Rutland, we =
