FINE OUTLOOK
FOR ACADEMY
FOOTBALL TEAM
Coach COnnOr Fast Round
ing eleven" Into
Shape

Although handicapped by the abb
sence of experienced men, Preston
"Puss" Connor, official football coach
of the ST. Johgsbury Academy is fast
rounding into shape an "eleven" that
will soon take its place amongst the
best teams in Northeastern Vermont.
What the members of the 1920 outfit
lack in training, they are making up
in enthusiasm and ability to learn
quickly and, all that is necessary to
send them through a very successful
season is a continuation of the pre-
sent outburst of pep"
Wonders can be- worked with a
team that strives with all its might to
master the fine points of the game
and there is no question but what
Brother Connor will be able to do a
great deal with his limited amount Of
material He certainly has made a
grand start, if the exhibitions put up
at the Campus during practice this
week are a criterion of what the
youngsters intend to do when they
get into real scrimmage. The boys
seem to be pulling all one way-with
their coach and with this spirit exist
ing in the ranks, the boys are bound
to have success this year.
The boys have headed straight for
the Campus every day this week as
soon as theE were excused from
school and lot of stiff drill has been
executed on the field. The majority
of the players have never been in the
game before and everything is entire
ly new, but bv paying close atten-
ton to the instructions of their
coach, they have stored away consld-
cradle knowledge of the popular
pastime. There are only three letter
ed men on the team this year, but
with the present interest continuing,
Connor hopes to have a strong, but
light team within at least two weeks.
This is Connor's first year as coach
at the Academy and he seeks to make
it a successful one. The boys say
they will do their share.
There were two full teams on the
field on Wednesday afternoon. some
thing the Academy hasn't had IN
several years. The boys were drilled
especially in line work and end runs
on Wednesday while on Thursday the
principal thing on the program was
signal practice The boys were a'bit
slow in getting on to this phase of
the game, but after sticking right to
it for few hours they had it well
mastered.
Up to the present but few games
have been scheduled for the Academy

Eastern s. Exposition in SPRING

Championship or North Atlantic
States in demonstrates handicraft
work in competition with teams from
every state from Maine to Delaware
The citizens of St. Johnsburv should
take great pride in this signal victory
for its boys and the boys should be
encouraged in every way in the
work they are doing.
Leon H. Baxter, manual training
teacher in the Union School and To-
cal club leader, deserves considerable
credit for this victory, which has
been won by St. Johnsbury team
ever since the inception Of the
Springfield Exposition four years
ago. The team, which consists of
James Putfer, Ralph Harris and
Nathan Kicker, owes a great deal to
the careful teachin" of Mr. Baxter.
The winning team represented not
only their home town but the entire
state of Vermont and the grand old
Green Mountain state has justly
earned the title of "Handicraft
State Connecticut took second
place in the contest, while Massachu
setts came in third.
James Putfer, leader of the team,
demonstrated the mixing and casting
of concrete boat anchor, Ralph
Harris showed the method of jointing
up and glueing and clamping up two
boards and then made a wooden mix
ing spoon. Nathan Kicker made pa
tent jar lifters for lifting hot jars
from a Gamer and then skillfully
demonstrated whippir" of rope and
tieing variety of knots. The judge
of the demonstration gave young
Kicker the title Of Professor of Knot
ology.
1t is well to mention here that
while the st. Johnsbury boys aver
aged II years of age the members
of the other teams averaged from 16
to II years.

A soANDAL.MoNGEn CANDIDATE.

Governor Cox is daily proving himself to he
nothing but scandal -monger candidate. Each
day he makes a sensational charge then runs
away from It as fast as possible.
In Chicago Sunday he repeated "A mere rumor.

man OF character would permit himself to

As a character ASSASSIN James Cox's equal has
never been seon In American politics. The bare
possibility Of such man being elevated TO the
presidency is appalling,
Notwithstanding the fact that neither ne nor
his managers have placed before the senate
scintina OF evidence to Justify single Of his

stand that his audiences refuse TO hear him
speak and practically drive him of the plat
form, as at Milwaukee tho other evening.

faced. Tho ohio governor has become some
