FARMINGTON HIGH AGAIN
TRIUMPHS OVER ST. VINCENT


ed football team, accompanied by
teachers Haldaman and Johns; Board
members w. B. Rariden, Ed Klein and
Dr.. John b. Graves, and large num-
ber of pupils and other enthusiastic
supporters, made the trip to Perry
vile last Friday, where the High
School team again defeated the husky
st. Vincent team in strenuously
contested game, the score being 80 to
Ia in favor Of Fafmington! st. Vim
cen. succeeded in doing what no other
team had done this year. They scored
on the local boys and repeated the per-
formance within the next few minutes,
furnishing thrills enough to satisfy
the most exacting foot ball fans.
Each team knew something of the
other teams spirit and style of play,
and each team had apparently been
coached in anticipation of just the
style of attack that was used. In
consequence, the playing was unusu-
ally vigorous and sometimes rough,
but spirit of good-fellowship pre-
vailed among the players of the two
teams.
st. Vincent kicked to Pennington
on her twenty yard line. Mckinney
received the ball and returned it thir-
ty yards. A line play here netted on
ly one yard, but an end run and off
tackle play made first down. The
ball is in st. Vincent's territory and
the rushes and tackling fierce, with
small gain on first down. Denman
makes pretty pass to Murphy who
receives perfectly for an eighteen
yard gain, then sprints through a
broken field for the first touchdown
before the first five minutes of play
have passed. Simms kicked goal,
making score 10 in favor of Farm
ington.
Denman then kicked off to Fenwick
in St. VS. ten yard line and Fenwick
returned the ball twenty yards before
he was downed. Three trials failed
to net any material gain and st. Vim
cent punted out of bounds on their
ffty-fve yard line. A line play re-
suited in no gain and Denman passed
to Simms. By interfering with
Simms as he received the pass, st. ".
drew fifteen yard penalty. On the
next play Denman punted out OF
bounds on st. Vincent's ten yard line.
st. V. Lost four yards. The Farming
ton line was breaking through and
stopping the plays before they got off.
st. V. then punted. making only twelve
yards against strong gust of wind.
Denman recovered for a bare two
yards. Pennington makes first down
and seems within striking distance OIL
goal. Two trials net small gains and
whistle stops play for end of first
quarter, leaving the ball in Farming
tons possession on st. VS. five yard
line. Score, Pennington Z, st. V. 0.
At the beginning of the second pc
riod, Pennington tried st. Vincent's
line but made only two yards. A
pass failed and the ball went to st.
Vincent on their three yard line.
Fenwick punted to the twenty-three
yard line where graves received the
punt. An end run failed; line play
netted three yards. A pretty forward
pass Denman to Mckinney was COM
pleted and Mckinney carried the ball
over for the second touchdown. Simms
missed the goal. Score, $50 in favor
of Pennington. On the next kickoff
Pennington soon recovered the ball
and by a series of rapid passes Den
man to Graves, and Deneman to Nc
Kinney, the ball was carried over for
the third touchdown. Simms missed
the goal, kicking against the wind.
Score, 1910 in favor Of Pennington.
On the next kickoff Fenwick received
the ball on his ten yard line and made
a fifteen yard return, In bewilder-
ing end run Fenwick ripped off thirty
one yards, carrying the ball to Farm
ington's "A yard line. Fenwick had
demonstrated again that he was a
dangerous backfield man liable to
change the progress of the game.
Garner was injured in trying to stop
Fenwick but remained in until the
end of the quarter.
During the first half St. Vincent
had made first down but twice, and
had failed to score or get within
