STATE SCHOOL
CHAMPIONSHIP
Four High School Teams
Are Claiming the Foot
ball Honors
RECORD APPARENTLY
FAVORS SPAULDING
st. Adams, Rutland and
Brattleboro Are the
Other Claimants

As the weather curtain begins to
drop to the winter notch to bring a
close to the 1920 football episode, dis
cussion among high schools OF the
state is diverted to the school entitled
to the championship of Vermont.
Strange to say, there are four lay
ing claim to the title this year, Spauld-
ing high school of Barre, st. Adams
high school, Rutland high school and
Brattleboro high school. True it is
that the session is not ended. and re-
naming games may eliminate entirely
some of these teams, yet most of them
have but one more game scheduled,
which will be played next Saturday.
Right here in Barre the anxiety to
see Spaulding get it is higher than seen
for some years. Many are talking
about it and believe the school is en-
titled to it,: Why? Because Spaulding
has played, with the exception of st.
Adams, the strongest teams in the
state, and in only one game was re
verse decision given, that with Rut-
land high; and in that case there re-
main an argument in the minds of many
who saw the game. The central board
on football handed down the decision
in Rutland's favor, however, and
Spaulding accepted the defeat 80, with
strong desire to play Rutland on its
home grounds.
st. Adams high seems to be the only
team that has got an argument on
the state championship, since it has
not lost game this season. st. AL
bans has played seven school games
during the season, but two of these
games We're with Plattsburg, n. Y, and
could hardly be considered in the sea
sons average for the Vermont cham
pionship. The remaining five games
were played with but three different
teams, none of which is of great
strength.
On the other hand, Spaulding has
figured in eight games, all Vermont
teams for opponents and representing
some of the largest high schools in the
state and from all parts of the state
and include five different school oppo-
nents.
A comparison of the two teams rec
ords for the season may be of inter.
est, The st. Adams record follows;

ll5

Thus, il is evident both in the com.
parison of opponents of the team and
in the total of points, though the latter
is rather poor factor TO determine a
championship team since substitute
players often fill the place of first
string men after the first string men
have secured a substantial and safe
lead that Spaulding has the better claim
to the title. Considering the teams oppo-
nents and you will see that the oppo-
nents of St Adams in seven game
scored almost double the points that
Spaulding opponents secured in eight
games.
In the first paragraph was mentioned
the fact that four teams were claim
ing the championship, but comparison
of records to an impartial mind elimi
mates Rutland and Brattleboro high.
Rutland high would doubtless have
been strong contender had not small
pox put damper on athletics in Rut-
land, and prevented the Rutland team
from continuing the schedule. This
team played but five games as fol-
lows.
