Suggests Plan for Settling
State Football Championship

play this fall. Rutland had an excellent
team and is to be congratulated, but it
must be said, in fairness to others, that
the team did not meet any teams of i'm
portance except the Barre high school
and the Brattleboro high school Jeans.
The Rutland-Brattleboro contest was so
far below the caliber Of other football
games which / have seen this fall that
it could not figure as a championship
game, especially since BrattlebOro did
not meet any other Vermont teams.
Let us compare scores for a moment.
Rutland defeated Montpelier $40, Spauld-
ing defeated Montpelier 4l-0, st. Adams
defeated Montpelier $40. These scores
seem to indicate that these teams were of
about the same strength,
Spaulding had am excellent team which
played a long hard schedule, defeating
several of the strongest teams in the
state. Had the Spaulding-R Rutland game
been played later in the season no one
can tell what the outcome might have
been. Montpelier was far below it's usual
standard. The Burlington team, al
though weak in the early part of the
season, played a last game IN N9vem,
Der. Another year it will be one OF the
leading teams. The Winooski team was
one of the best in the state. 1t was slow
in getting started but played excellent
high school football. The Lyndon Insti-
tute team was fast and should not be
overlooked. The Brattleboro team had
been greatly o~ver-rated or had gone back
badly when it played Rutland. st. At
hans had one of the best teams in the
history of the school. 1t did not lose a
game this fall, but on account of the
heavy expense, could not arrange a game
with Brattleboro, aud was unable to
make arrangements to play Rutland,
probably on account of the smallpox epl-
II does not seem to me, as things stand
at present. that any team has a clear II,
tie to the state championship. 1t would
he much better for Barre to be given the
championship of central Vermont, Rut-
land the championship of southern Yer
mont, and st. Adams the championship
of northern Vermont. -

Editor of the Reformer:
1 did not intend to enter into any dis
cussion over the state Championship in
football. but the statement in the Sunday
edition Of the Boston Globe for Dec. 9th,
which reads as follows: The Rutland
high school football team, by its defeat OF
the Brattleboro high school last Satur-
day, has been awarded the Vermont
scholastic championship, etc, seems to
me to be misleading, especially to those
who are not acquainted with the eondI-
tons. | should like to know by whom
i'm authority the state championship has
been awarded? The Head Masters club
of Vermont has done nothing OF the KIND
nor has the athletic committee OF the
Head Masters club designated any cham
pionship team. Perhaps the award mas
been made by the Brattleboro high school
or by the same gentleman who presented
the loving cup, | cannot say. 1t has been
the practice for several years past Tor
S~mithville to say to Brownvllle, III you
defeat us you are the state champions,
if we defeat you we are the state cham
pions''. Such f~oolishness will not go
any longer.
1t has been suggested by one OF the
leading newspapers that a central board
or governing body have charge OF the
football games and announce the real
state championship team. . This has been
favorably commented upon by other pa,
ners and is an excellent idea. l should
like to suggest a plan. Let the athletic
committee Of the Head Masters club han
die the whole thing. Divide the state IN
to two leagues, for convenience, a nor

first blamed the British blockade, then American participation, for the defeat, but now takes the pre-arm- istice view, that the crumbling of the rock of civilian support, the climax of which was the November 8 outbreak, and not the fresh Amer ican army, overwhelming artillery and continued allied offensives was responsible for it.
 Recently I put the question to Field Marshal Hindenburg. At the very beginning of the interview he said, What shall I tell you? That we were defeated in the field is a question beyond doubt, but my men fought to the last day as bravely as ever, without losing courage or morale"
 What actually led to Germans defeat?" l asked.
 "Two things" replied Hinden- burg. First, 1t was impossible for us to win after 1918, on account of the British blockade, which de- spite our sharpest submarine war fare, failed to relieve our food re- | quirements. Second it was the ar rival of the American troops which broke the west front deadlock, add ed overwhelming power to the allies and made possible their winning the war. American attacks in the Ar gonne, our main line of retreat, when we were shortening the line in Belgium and Northern France actually won the war"
 Of course these facts are known in German military circles, but the general public is either ignorant of or does not want, to know about them. It is also a remarkable fact that the great Franco-American of fensives, planned for November + and IA, are not known about il Germany.
