JOHN Gotta FOUND
DEAD BY BRIDGE
SUNDAY MORNING
Aged Middlebury Man Met
Death In Town of
Shelburne
DEATH THOUGHT TO
BE ACCIDENTAL
Gotta Had Been Visiting His
Daughter, Mrs. Scott
In Burlington

John Gotta, sc year old Middlebury
man, was found dead by Shelburne of
ticials near the end of the Rutland
railroad bridge which crosses the La
plotte river. 1t is believed that he fell
from the bridge while walking toward
Middlebury His head was badly
crushed.
According to the authorities Gotta
had been dead for about "a hours when
his body was found. His body was
discovered Sunday morning.
One theory is that Gotta, who was
walking along the bridge, thinking he
was on firm ground, stepped off to get
out of the way of train, and, falling
from the bridge hit his head on the
stone abutment about 80 feet below.
II is thought that, after striking the
aoutment, he toppled off this and fell
to the ground, which is abuot 10 feet
further down The body was found
directly under the abutment, with one
leg caught on a barbed wired fence
The death is thought to be accidental
John Ready, a road commissioner in
Shelburne, said that he noticed par
ticularly on Friday night that train
- the southbound Rutland night eX-
press sounded its whistle several times
before crossing the railroad bridge. He
thought nothing of it at the time, but
when Gotta was found the theory was
that possibly the engineer
saw some one on the bridge, and blew
a series of short blasts with the whistle
as a warning If this was the case, it
is probable that Gotta, thinking he was
perfectly safe in stepping from the
track stepped off the bridge to his
death
Seloctmen Vaughn and Mitchell
stated that they did not believe there
was any foul play as they found in the
dead mans clothes a pocketbook CON
tanning $40, which would disprove any
theory of robbery Two hunting Ii
2enses were also found in the pockets
Both were issued to 'John Gotta OF
Middlcbury'.
Mr. Gotta had been making his home

MIDDLEBURY LANDS
ON CLARKSON FOR
TOTAL OF IA POINTS
Blue Uses Second T e a m
Lineup For First
Three Periods
BOTH TEAMS USE
FORWARD PASSES
Clarkson's Defensive Game
Good But Were I'm
able To Gain

Using second team men in the line
UP through most of the game, Middle
bury landed on the hard fighting Clark
son team Saturday afternoon on Por-
ter Field for total of IA points.
Clarkson was unable to score, but they
exhibited considerable strength of the
defensive variety on account of their
superior weight. They also completed
some very pretty forward passes, but
when it came to pounding the holes i'll
the Blue line, necessary for a touch
dwon, they were not there.
Middlebury'S two touchdowns were
secured in the first and last periods
In the first quarter Clarkson's punt
was blocked, Middlebury capturing the
ball, but Clarkson, putting up their
strong defense, held for downs. Set
back for Is yards on a penalty, the
Tech lads again pUnted Papke started
the mischief right of, going through
the Clarkson line for ten yards. A
perfect forward pass did the trick for
Middlebury, Klevenow scoring the
touchdown
In the second quarter the Blue ser
ously threatened the enemy's goal the
half ending with the ball on Clarksou's
eight yard line. Clarkson opened the
period with a passing game, but Mo
rey's team soon had the ball on downs
Clarkson being thrown back for a five
yard loss DAILY punted for 25 yards
into the wind and Clarkson tried an
other forward pass which Hollqust in
tercepted. Middlebury after vainly
trying to punch holes i'll Clarksons
heavy line, put across another perfect
pass for 30 yards, straight into the
wind, landing the ball on Clarkson's |
ten yard line. Jackway came through |
for five yards and then the bluf was
penalized five yards for offside Sue
cessful plunges for short gains into
Clarkson's line seemed sure for another
touchdown for Moreys lads when the
half ended with the ball on the eight /
ward line.
The second half opened with Middle
bury kicking off to the 40 yard line
Clarkson started in strong by quickly
making first down, then after complet-
ing a forward pass for a short gain lost
the ball on a tumble Again Middle
bury was unable to gain, Clarkson
holding well, and punted Clarkson
tumbled the ball and Klevenow recov-
cred, and the quarter ended with a
punt for 10 yards from the middle of
the field.

MIDDLEBURY TEAM
CRIPPLED BY LOSS
OF STAR PLAYERS

Middlebury's strong footb all
team, which has established such
an enviable record this year, is
meeting with little luck of the
"jinx" variety just before the
championship game with Vermont.
But the ardor Of the team and the
confidence of Coach Morey AMI the
students is in no way dampened
or shaken, local followers looking
forward to a victory tomorrow,
Moynihan, star center for the
Blue, was operated on at the Mary
Fletcher hospital Tuesday for a
mastoid abscess. The operation
was successful and the plucky grid
star is reported as rapidly recover
ing Coach Morey will probably
work Kalin, a seasoned player, at
center, and will start either Ian
pher or Reigelman at Kalin's old
position at left guard. 1t is also
possible that Quackenbush IN ay
not be able to take his place at
quarter, so an eleventh hour an
nouncement states, The pucky
general sprained a tendon in his
shoulder in the Clarkson game last
Saturday and an X-ray examina-
tion in Burlington this week makes
it look very doubtful whether he
can appear in his position tomor-
row In the event he is not able to
play Papke will start in his place.
With the exception of Moynihan
and Quackenbush, the team came
out of the Clarkson game in good
shape, and are ready for he
ChamD contest tomorrow.
