tlebOro Keeps Home Team from Seor-
ing i'm Last Quarter.
With team, which averaged between
20 and % pounds heavier to a man than
did the Brattleboro high school team, the
Bellows Falls high school aggregation
smashed out a decisive victory over the
locals at Bellows Falls yesterday, the
score being 81 to o.
Although outplayed and, more import
ant still, tremendously outweighed, the
local team fought gamely on the defensive
and held their opponents scoreless in the
last quarter of the game. The Brattle-
borO offensive, however, was paralyzed
by the fact that Nixon was unable to
play, and that one side of the backline
/ was composed of green men who could
do nothing against the superb Bellows
Falls defensive play.
The breaks also went Bellows Falls
way, and an unlucky first tumble, which
| resulted in the first Bellows Falls score,
took lot of pep out of StolGes team.
In the last quarter the inOffensive Eu-
gene Moran was injured in the nose in
tistic mixup, when the Bellows Falls boys
started roughhouse without excuse.
After the game he was attended in the
hospital in Bellows Falls by DIR. Rud-
den. The extent of the injury TO his nose
: cannot be determined at present, although
none of the bones were broken. 1t is
thought that he win soon be back in
condition to play the rest of the seasons
games.
Gray kicked off to Brattleboro, and
Moran, who received the ball. was
downed on the 3O-yard line. Moran got
six yards around right end. Robbins
made first down. Winchester fumbled,
and Reynolds of the Bellows Falls war
riors scOOped up the elusive ball and
dashed 40 yards for touchdown. Gray
kicked the goal. This accident gave the
Bellows Falls boys the jump, and up to
the last quarter they kept the Brattle-
boro boys continuously on the run.
Gray again kicked to Brattleboro, and
Manley brought it back to the 30-yard
line Moran and Robbins again made
first down, but Brattleboro was penalized
five yards for offside, and lost the ball on
downs. Then Bellows Falls carried the
ball over again in an irresistible advance,
| and Gray again kicked the goal, bringing
| their total to ii to o.
Gray kicked off to Brattleboro and
Moran brought the ball back to the 30
yard line, when the whistle blew for
the end of the quarter.
After making one first down the Brat
tleborO team again lost the ball on
downs. Then the Bellows Falls team
again rushed the ball over for the third
touchdown. Gray kicked the goal, and
| Bellows Falls was in the lead 81 to O.
Again Gray kicked off to Brattleboro
and Moran brought the ball back to the
2S-yard line. Robbins and Moran gained
| two yards each through the line. Rob
bins got away a beautiful punt, which a
| Bellows Falls back muffied, and Captain
| Haywood fell on the ball for Brattle-
| bOro. Moran and Robbins made gains
and BrattleboTo was menacing the Bel
lows Falls goal1line as the whistle blew
to end the half.
| Robbins kicked off and Lawler brought
the ball back to the 40-yard line. None
| of the Brattleboro backs noticed Young
playing way out until it was too late.
and he received a pass with a clear field
before him, and went 10 yards for a
touchdown. Gray kicked the goal, bring
ing the total to 2S.
Following Gray's kick off, Moran
| brought the ball back to the 40-yard line.
| Robbins made five yards On the next
play there was a free tumble and Rob-
bins raced back 10 yards and fell on the
/ rolling pIgSkln. Moran made five yards,
and W. Haywood caught pass for II
more, making first down. The Bellows
| Falls defense then held and they received
the ball on downs. A completed pass
and several wide end runs brought an
other touchdown, Howard taking the ball
over. Gray missed the goal, so the score
STAYED at 81 to o.
Robb received the ball on Gray's kick
off and got back to the 30-yard line before
| being downed Moran gained IA yards
around the right end. Robbins punted,
but the ball was blocked and sailed high
in the air, Robbins recovering it. Bel
| lows Falls got the ball on downs. Bel
lows Falls fumbled and Daley recovered
| for Brattleboro. The next play resulted
| in a dispute in which the Bellows Falls
/ boys showed their lack of craftsmanship
when one of them struck Eugene Moran
| in the nose with his fist. For slugging
Bellows Falls was penalized one-half the
| distance to their own goal line. Bellows
Falls got the ball on downs, and Gray
punted to Brattleboro. Robbins gained
and Moran gained, as the whistle blew
| to end the game.
The crowd went wild, and even the
small boys and girls jeered and hooted at
the Brattleboro team and rooters. This
| animosity towards anyone from Brattle-
bOro crept out several times during the
game, and it was fortunate that the of
| iicials of the game did their work well,
| for it would have taken but little to in
cite the crowd to a fighting mood.
