WITH SPIRIT
Spaulding Candidates Co
ing Into the Game
With a Will
SOME NEW MEN
SHOW UP WELL
Coach Lundholm Has the
Youngsters Up On Their
Toes

The climate up on Lincoln campus
this week hasn't been just what might
be called frigid, by piano to penny
shot. In fact, it's been such that the
stranger arriving for the first time'
stoned, took one Whit of what littie
air there was and gazed persplrlngiy
az the woods at the farther end ex-
Meeting to see hula hula hordes in all
their shredded wheated glory come
dancing out to greet him. Callente
Beaucoup! Beacoup! And then some
Yet. right out there under the al
most whitening sun, in the real ola
xephyrs, clad in heavy, weh-padded
pants and sweaters and sweat'shirts
one of the best football teams seen at
Spaulding for years has been round
ing.int shape in collegiate style
But the boys haven't had time to
notice the weather, they've been 700
busy soaking up football dope ana
Coach Carl Lundholm has seen TO IL
that there has been no. dearth OF ma,
terial for this process. Blackboard
talks, intensive drilling and practice
with two scrimmages have Kept me
lads on the hop and the think all tue
time outside of their study hours and
the effect is already becoming appar-
ent.
Youngsters who responded to the
first call for candidates with the rip
and roar of a toe-dancer now tear
down the field head down and shodi-
ders hunched, making life miserable
for those in the unhappy assumed po-
sitions of opponents. And the laas
who ducked in haste when the fellow
with the ball happened to be dashing
down their way, now throw them
selves into the thing with the glee
of experienced gridiron warriors.
Pride in Spaulding set aside, how
ever. it must be admitted that the
two dozen men, who are working ike
troians to make the first eleven, GER
t.inly do look like corners. It's a
pretty broad statement to make, but
nevertheless, it's true that every man
in the squad is a bright prospect:
Therefore, imagine what the cream OF
the crowd, the frst-string outfit, VIII
look like when it takes the tield.
They all look so good it's pretty
tough proposition to pick out any
that NAV be bit further along than
the rest, But take this Nicora, he OF
baseball fame. Never played football
before and never took very deep
interest in it until this year. An
swered the call, showed that rare as
set--a desire to learn, was taken INTO
hand by Coach Lundholm, and Is now
RAPIDLY becoming a whirlwind OF an
end. He's shown a lot of little rea-
sons WHY he's bound to be good
football man, principal among which
have been his clean living and clean
mouth. Nieora, all declare to be the
find of the year, and don't be sur
prised if he appears permanently on
one of the ends.
Then there's CALI, another new man.
Coach Lundholm has found he also
has an earnest desire to learn and mas
been using him quite good deal as
a tackle and at center. He's showing
The right spirit and stuff and at pres
crt appears assured of a place on the
first team. The veterans are all conf
ing back strong and practically all
will be in this years lineup. Abblatti,
? Fleetwood, Bradley, Slayton and
OTeary are all fighting hard to hold
their old places and may be expected
to figure disastrously to the other tel
lows this year. But the thing mai
stands out on the whole bunch like a
satisfied taxpayer at a meeting of the
board of civil authority il the fact
that they're all trying. That's what
counts and that's what viii carry
Spaulding to football triumph again
The schedule is nearly completed
The first game so far, however, IS down
for Oct. Is, and Rutland will be the
opponent. The game will be played
in Rutland. Oct. and s were still
open last night, but Principal J.. {.
Hunt believed that both dates would
be filled from Montpelier seminary
Middleburv freshmen or Newport high
school, with a possibility of a game
being arranged with Norwich fresh
men. No prospect of a game before
Oct. was in sight, however. The
remainder of the schedule so far ar
ranged is as follows Oct. p, 81
Johnsburv in Barre: Oct 20 Brattle'
boro in Barre; Nov. ), Lyndon insti.
tute at Lvndonville; Nov. IL. Mont
pelier high at Montpelier; Nov. 10
Goddard in Barre.
Mr.. Hunt has had difficulty arrang
ing games for the start of the seized
ule. as all teams appeared TO wish
more time TO prepare for the Spauld
ing clash. Burlington and st. Albanl
both wish games but they want tail
end dates. Mr. Hunt has set Nov. q
as tentative date for either of them
but has been unable to arrange for Tx
other. 1t is probable that Burlington
will be the team TO take the game
of that date. while chances of game
with st. Adams look rather dubious
at present.
