WESTERLY sWAMPs ACADEMY
 IN LlSTLESsLY PLAYED GAME

Lacking any resemblance to a foot ball team the Norwich Academy eleven staggered through farce at Westerly Friday afternoon and were beaten easily by disgraceful score of 51 to 0, by the Westerly High School team. The old Academy fight ing spirit that has been manifested time and again on the gridiron was sadly lacking, and the indifferent way which the local boys played was heart breaking to followers of the school. At no time during the game did they threaten to make a score with the exception of once when the ball was brought to the 20-yard line and there was lost spelling any chance of preventing a ,shutout.
 Boynton, acting captain on account of Williams injuries, won the toss, and Westerly kicked to Spaulding who was downed in his tracks on the S0- yard line. Unable to gain on three downs Sparkling kicked to Bamford who ran for a twenty yard gain. The next down Mitchell dashed for a 1 touchdown. Stenhouse failed to kick 1 the goal
 Bamford of Westerly kicked to Fox who was tackled after gaining a few 1 yards. Unable to gain again, Spauld- l ing kicked to Stenhouse who fumbled and Fox jumped on the ball. It was at this stage of the game that the Academy played what might be called football. In the next scrimmage l Westerly was penalized 15 yards for rough playing. Then on the next | down McNamara lost five yards but 1 Boynton made them up on the next l down. Spa6lding then shot a forward to McNamara who was downed right l away, failing to make the necessary distance for first down. The ball went l to Westerly thus N. F. As only hope
 of scoring vanished. Westerly by end I runs brought the pigskin to the ffteeI l yard line. End of quarter.

The brotherhoods were ready yes
terday to wash their hands of the task,
believing they had failed, but they
! stepped out only for a short time.
B. NJ. Jewell, shopmen's leader,
made another peace proposition and
the brotherhoods, eager for settlement,

afternoon.
Twenty railroads are represented

through his shirt and grazed the outer
skin across his breast.
McClanahans version OF the shoot
ing was to the effect thatb just as he
was going toward the switchboard,
someone from without fired; the bull
let coming through window and
passed through his shirt. He immedi-
ately switched OF the lights, ran TO
the door and fired three shots In the
direction from which the bullet came.
