ON LINCOLN CAMPUS
With Skill of Legion Boys
Standing Out Prom
inently

The Barre Legion post kept up its
winning streak Saturday afternoon at
Lincoln campus by pinning a 20 to 0
defeat ON the 7th field artillery eleven
from Fort Ethan Allen. The fort line
was considerably heavier than that of
the local team and the end had a good
style Of tackling the Legion backfeld
for a loss but when it came to the Of
fensiye game they were sadly deficient
and after four long periods of rough
football they stood scoreless.
The Legion boys started the game
with the kickoff, Brown booting it out
TO Harris who recovered it on the 20
yard line and carried it to the 42-yari
marker. Blaze plunged through center
for an eight yard gain and Wilson
downed Mccormack after the latter
had made another two yards. Harris
plugged through for five yards and the
first down. Johnson made three more
yards for the fort, ending the squirt.
Brown of the Legion took the ball on
a pass from the W-yaTd line for the
first touchdown with the interference
working nicely. Giacherio dropped
Johnson the nearest man to Brown so
hard that ii was necessary to hold up
the game for a short time. Wilson's
try at a kick was spoiled.
Brown kicked off again to McCor-
mack, who ran the ball back to the
4O-yard line. Blaze and johnson tried
rushing the ball and only a six-yard
gain resulted so Mccormack took the
safer course of punting. Laird received
the ball and brought it to the 26-yard
line where Blaze dropped him. Penal
ties for off sides started at this point
and continued during the remainder OF
the game. Brown took the bali around
the end for a 25~yard gain before Me-
cormack stopped his burst of speed.
Donnelly made a nice eight-yard gain
through tackle and two cross bucks
netted the Legion six yards more, with
Laird and Donnelly plunging. A pass,
Brown to Lundholm, Melted Is yards
more and brought the ball to the five
yard line where the soldiers line held
for a moment until a pass. Laird to
Lundholm. brought the ball across.
Wilson made good the kick.
Laird kicked off to Mccormack. who
received the ball on the 20-yard line
end ran it back to the 4l-yard section,
Wilson tackling. A five-yard gain by
Maze and a fve-yard penalty proved a
hos loo and no more gains could be
made. so Mccormack punted to Lairl
ON the 2o-yard line as the quarter
ended.
Brown started The second quarter !
with a rush. carrying the hall 20 yards
on a pass from Laird, Poore tackline. !
Bartlett plunged through center for
FIVE yards and Laird followed with a
run through tackle which netted a Is
yard advance. The next pass failed and
after a three yard loss by Bartlett on
an end run, Laird kicked to McCor-
mack on the 20-yard line and stopped
him after a six-yard gain. Poi1i stopped
Blaze's end run for no gain, McCpr-
mack, who starred for the fort, plowed
a l0-yard furrow through the Legion
line and gained five yards more on a
Legion penalty. Several more small
gains were made and then Cuba took
McCormack's pass for a six-yard gain
only to tumble. losing the ball to the
Legion. He evidently forgot that the
Spanish American war was over and
tried to start another instruction at
this point by quarreling with every
body in sight.
Laird took the ball through the forts
first line trenches for a five-yard gain
and then Brown conducted a rsidin4
party around the enemies right flank
which gained 27 yards. The artillery, |
however, came back strong as the pc
riod ended, throwing the ex-bucks for
several good losses. Score, Legion IL,
Fort Ethan Allen 0.
The Second Half Closer.
Bartlett kicked off for the Legion at
the opening Of the second half, McCcr-
mack recovering it on the 25-yard line
and running it back to the 40-yard
mark before Barrett tackled him. Blaze
made two yards on a plunge and Me-
.ormack followed with eight yards
more on a cross buck for the first
down. Line pluhging proved a poor
means of gaining, so after OfKeefe had
