THE ENTIRE TEAM
Spaulding High Piled Up a
Al to 0 Victory on
Lincoln Campus

lincoln campus was wet, muddy ana
slippery Saturday afternoon yet was
no hindrance for Spauldng high school
in scoring on Montpelier highs football
team, which it played then, for during
four periods of IL minutes each six
touchdowns and five goals were, scored
by Spauding, an overwhelming defeat
for Montpelier the score being 4l-0 in
Spaufding's favor.
Montpelier succeeded in making but
three downs in the entire game, accord
ing to official scoring, and one of them
came through l5-yard penalty on
Spaulding for holding The other two,
Jimmie Dobbs, Montpelier's former end
and speedy little halfback now, man
aged to get around ends. He played a
hard game throughout, made a number
of fine tackles when on the defense and
seemed to be the only man who could
stop Douglas, the Spaulding halfback,
who played in the place of Brown
As matter of fact, the game was
uninteresting despite the fact that
Montpelier was putting up a much
harder fight than was expected, yet
never threatened to score during the
entire four periods. Spaulding few
weeks before defeated this team on its
own grounds, 467, so was in no way APP
prehensive about results Saturday.
Spaulding scored the first touchdown
on an end pass from Smith to Dens-
more, pass of 25 yards that nested
safely in the arms of the end just
three yards from the goal.
Douglas, the Spaulding right half
back, who took the place of Brown
Saturday, because the latter suffered
an injured knee in scrimmage during
the week, made one of the cleverest
runs ever seen on Lincoln campus.
Montpelier had lost on downs, so punt
ed Douglas received the ball on the
Spaulding 20-yard line, ran several
yards into what seemed like sure
tackle, twisted away, ran across the
slippery wet field, lodging tacklers rs
he did so, and then ran down the 9th
err side of the field, which offered much
better footing. to complete an SO-yard
run for touchdown. When he reached
the goal line he seemed to be Just jog
ging along, but in reality was travel
ing as fast as his mud laden shoes
would allow him and as fast as neces
sary. His run, however, could not have
been made without the perfect inter.
ference supplied by his teammates, and
even when he crossd the line quarter
back Smith was at his side ready for
action. The other four touchdowns
came from straight line plunging or
around the ends.
After a substantial score had been
run up Sparlding players exercised lit
tie effort in the game, took macers
leisHely and were satisfied TO keep
their opponents from scoring.
Montpeier's line was noticeab'y
liz Ter than the Spaulding line. Time
and time again Montpeler's ptys,
were spoiled almost before they start
ed, the Spaulding linesmen tearing
through, seemingly at will.
A big asset to Montpelier was Sheri
dan, who, by his excellent pupting, put
Spauding TO harder tasks, The lad
kicks the ball high and far and made
several good punts during the game.
With their team ever losing, Mont
peIier high schools supporters never
fiinched in spirit, cheering and sing
ing for their team until the last whis
tie sounded. Such stpport Is praise
worthy Spaulding supporters were as
tonished at the large number that ac
companed the Montpelier team, 50
thoroughly defeated on their home
grounds.
