The members of the high school and
other football fans Ionged last Saturday
TO see the high school team in action and
are glad that next Friday the team will
clash against their old rivals, Amherst
high. Since the last game Coach StOlte
has been putting his men through hard
practice, every day. This will be not only
the last home game Of the season, but
probably the best. That it will be a we'll
matched contest is proved by comparing
BrattleboroS score against Greenfield,
$50. with Amherst's of 2S-0. Every fan
should see this game and hear again this
seasons songs and yells.
If by any chance the weather continues
favorable, after the football season Coach
Stolte plans to have track practice this
fall.
