the 20 points against st. Johnsbur,
academy team Saturday afternoon a
Lincoln campus Coach Ross began Il
substitute second string men and ever
then the visitors could not stop thu
| Spaulding dashes and consequently
were defeated 20 to 0 in four l2minut,
periods.
After the first quarter the game lost
interest for it was evident the loca
team was superior to st. J's club. Only
| four minutes elapsed from the start oil
the game to the time when Capt. Smitl
/ received bounding punt near the 40
| yard line and with excellent interior
ence protecting him by Fullback Riv
ers, dashed down the field and across
the goal line for the first touchdown
Smith kicked the goal.
st. Johnsbury had won on the toss
up and chose to receive. A long kick
off by Smith prevented st. Johnsbury
from going beyond the 2s-yard line,
and at the second attempt at first
down a free tumble was recovered by
spauldings right tackle, Abbiatti,
Brown, on the very first play after
recovery, was given the ball and car.
ried it 20 yards down the field. Here
again was another instance of i'm
proved interference work Of the
Spaulding team, so much better than
the week previous against Rutland
high. On the next play Rivers was
picked to "hit the line" doing so with
effect but losing the ball to st. Johns
bury, when he fumbled
St Johnsbury found the Spaulding
line Just as several other teams have
found it, hard one to buck; and
it was here that Quarterback Barrett
punted to Smith for the resulting long
run and first touchdown.
St. Johnsbury again received but
couldn't make 10 yards from the So
yard line. so Spaulding once more was
i'm possession. Foster Slayten had
been shifted from right tackle 10 left
hslfback. and his presence in the back
field showed its effects Saturday. Sev
eral times during the game he made
good gains through the lines, six and
eight yards at time, his first sue
cess being on this recovery in men
ton. From then on till the first quar-
ter closed Spaulding's eleven was grad
ually working towards the goal and
the ball was on the six-ysrd line in st
territory when the whistle
ended the period.
The very first play in the second |
was criss cross whereby Brown re
reiyed and carried the ball for the
second touchdown. Smith failed on the
second goal kick.
Coach Ross now began to enter sub
stitute players, Douglas and O'Leary
taking the places of Brown and Stay
on at half back berths. The rest of
he first half was uneventful, Spauld
ng continually gaining seemingly
without much exertion. when on the
offensive and effectually stopping st.
