playing a few weeks ago by hanging q
trimming on the fast Winooski eleven.

feated in two years but had not been
scored on. The Legion warriors took
the scalp Of the champs in regular
fashion. Goddard has built up repu-
tation this year that viii be long
time standing. All first string men will
be eligible including the four who were
barred from the Spanlding game by the
rules forbidding man over q years
OF age from taking part.
The dance, which will be at Rowland
hall in the evening. can be nothing but
the huge success Legion dances always
are. Arrangements have been made for
the accommodation Of big crowd and
az it's the Legions night and the Le-
gion's dance-nuf isn't itl
