land high at football on Centennial field
yesterday afternoon by a score of 26 to
6, thus inflicting the first defeat on the
Marble City team in more than two years.
The game was played on a muddy field,
which did something to prevent fast play,
but it was evident from the start that
Burlington was to excel in every depart
ment of the game. The victory Of Bur
lington leaves but two indicated teams
in the state. st. Adams and Lyndon.
Burlington ran the ball back 40 yards
on the kickoff and then made five success
aive first downs. Almost on the goal line
Rutland rallied and held for two downs,
but the ball was then carried across the
line on a plunge through the line by Cap
tain Beaulieu.
AIanfreda of Rutland made the prettiest
play of the game in the second period
when he started off around the left wing
He was tackled after he had gone short
distance. but twisted in his tracks and
got away for 20 yards more. On the next
play he took the ball down the field for a
2J-yard run which was halted only after
he had crossed the goal line. Beaulieu
soon afterward got the ball over the line
for Burlington and Goss kicked goal.

But good losers. nevertheless.
Now for a whacL at unbeatable" Rut-

Let's hope the snow holds off till next
Saturday.
And that the field for the Rutland
game is securely roped off.
-Four trucks and about 20 private cars
brought the Keene crowd to Brattleboro
and took them home.
To watch Brattleboro's play one never
would have guessed that Wells. star back
field man. and Robb, a line regular. were
both out of the game.
Here's a bit of advice for the lads who
compose the local football squad. offered
with full recognition of the fine work they
did Yesterday: Don't get chesty over
that victory. You're going up against a
much harder proposition next Saturday,
and the only way you can help atone for
that $40 defeat of year ago is by Civ
ing the best you've got. You've got a
great opportnuity-if you take advantage
OF 1t. Don't skip Il single practice next
week. There are plenty of former grad
yates and others with experience in the
game who are willing to help in the
coaching, but you cannst expect them t.
take interest if YOU don't take interest
yourselves. BE on hand every afternoon !:
absorb all the advice you can. Prove that
YOU are doing your best for the honor of
the school. And then. whatever the out
come Nov. 10 the whole town will be
back of you.
