NEITHER SIDE
COULD SCORE
Goddard and Spaulding
Battled Without De-
cision Saturday
IN SPLENDID
TEST OF SKILL
Big Crowd Was in a Fren-
zy on Lincoln
Campus

The fOotpail tltle OF DdT1e ~ sun
without home, for Spaulding and
Goddard battled to scoreless tie Sat
urday afternoon in the greatest game
seen here for years. Both schools look
upon the game as the most important
on the schedule from local stand
point and classic was, therefore, as
sured, but no one in the 100 or 1900
odd fans who were present dared hope
for any such rare treat as was served
UP. From the whistle for the kickoff
in the first period to the call OF the
timer for the end of the game the big
crowd at Lincoln campus was in a
frenzy and the players were at the
top notch OF exertion.
Spaulding proved more Of an enigma
than ever, playing game way out
of the class shown so far this year.
A game such as Spaulding put up on
Saturday would have swept st. Adams,
Rutland, Manfreda or anything else
in the high school class in Vermont
into Lake Champlain. Yet Spaulding
took decisive defeats from these, mel
Their of which would have the proven
bal Oriental's chance against the team
Goddard had on the field. All in all,
it must be said Spaulding played a
wonderful game, and looked more like
a high class prep school or college
freshman machine than high school.
Goddard was weakened by the loss
Of four Of the regulars who were made
ineligible by the school masters rule.
However, Crimmins, Golan, Crowen
and Driscoll, who flied these vacan-
cies, acquitted themselves admirably
and none of them showed that they
had had but a short week of practice
in their position. In fact, Driscoll
shone as one of Goddard's stars, tear
ing through for great gains every time
he got the ball. His work soon
brought upon him the weight of
Spaulding but though he was battered
and bumped more than any man on
the field he was in there fighting hard
er than ever when the game ended.
The name of Driscoll will shine in
Goddard football history for a long
time To come.
Unless memory has fed. once upon
a time the illegal substitution OF a
player called for the suspension of the
player and the imposition of penalty
upon his team Of half the distance
from the down, in which he is substi-
tuted, to the goal The substitution
of Trial by Spaulding in the third PEI
Rod was declared illegal by Referee
Williams, after it had been called to
his attention by Goddard player, but
no penalty was imposed. However,
when tiny Wall, the Goddard fash,
started q hurl at a Spaulding end a
fraction Of second before the ball
was snapped, Goddard received a five
ward setback for offside. Goddard faced
such official vigilance during the en-
tire game.
Every man on Spaulding played an
air-tight game. OLeary at quarter
back directed his men with the strate-
gv. of field marshal and every one
responded Not one mistake was made.
1t was OfLeary also who threw the
only completed pass made in the game
OTeary reminds one OF an old vim
tage, becoming better with timt. FL
lenwood, CALI, Abiatti and Nicora
brought up plays with remarkable
abandon. II seemed as though moth
ing could get by them Ericsson showed
himself the possessor Of as feet pair
OF feet and as level a head as any
man in the game and Slayton and
Trial played their usual slashing game.
Capt. Finn and Wall OF Goddard
were at their best. They were every
where and handled their men like
pawns. Finn and Wall II was who
kept Goddard battling every minute
and both played stellar football Mort
arty was injured and put out of the
game early but Wilson filed his place
we'll Mullens putting was an educa-
ton and thaibig boy was also noun
tain Spaulding took pains TO skirt
at all times. Vonatti played fun like
collegian.
Spaulding Received Kick-oh.
Mullen's kickoff started the game.
Bradley caught the ball and went
down on his s0-yard line. On the third
down, OLeary went through left cen
ter for 10 yards and on the next down
Slayton went through the same place
for FIVE. Spaulding then plunaed
through right and left center TO God
dard's l0-yard line, where Goddard
took the ball. However. on the first
play. OIeary received a Goddard
tumble. oLeary tried a pass on the
first down but Finn got it and brought
il back to the 30-yard line. Here the
battle surged back and forth for the
remaining few minutes Of the period,
spaulding taking the ball shortly be-
fore the whistle.
The whistlF for the second period
started Spaulding on a right and left
center march down the field to the 10
ward line but Il was again GOddard's
BAN. Mitchell snapped the ball back
out of Walls reach and the wee quar-
ter was forced to chase it. He managed
10 bring Il back 10 the l0-yard line,
however. where he was downed. God
dard was then penalized FIVE yards
for onside and on the next down Null
len punted 20 the 5O-yard mark, where
Spaulding took the ball.
SpAuldif. then made two short
gains. ON the next down o1.eary
