The Vocational School won the

and running back ten yards, with
line plunges by McCrillis and
Christy. They were able to make
fist down only TO be penalized
for hurdlng This seemed to
be the spirit of the Vocational
school as they recovered the
yards lost by penalty and gained
five more by a pretty forward pass
from Christy to Mann. They Jhen
continued marching down to with

Academy

The green and white oval toss
en-, of st. Johnsbury Academy
came through with another victory
or the campus Saturday, when
they defeated Dow Academy of
Franconia, n. H., by the score of
3S to 0. Practically all Of the
breaks of the game came to the
st Johnsbuly team, but their
important gains came thru runs
and some completed passes
The game started with Dow
kicking to the Academy. Darling
ran the ball down to about the
center of the field, from whence
it was carried by one run after an
other to within 25 yards of the
goal Morrill, annexed territory
covering fifteen yards in the next
dash, and then Darling carried the
pigskin for the first touchdown
but failed to kick. For the re-
mainder of the first half Dow re-
ceivcd after each Of St. is touch
downs.
When Darling's long kickoff
settled toward BOWS end of the
field, there were several green-jer-
soycd tacklers waiting for one of
the visitors to catch it. Thus il
wa, that when Dow lost the ball
on her second four downs, the
town boys had but forty odd wards
90 carry it to a second touchdown.
"Buzza" again carried the oval
past the gate posts, but he again
failed to kick. Score, II to 0.
Morrill,, back in the position
which he made famous in st. J's
first two games of this season,
Spinted some ten or fifteen yards
for the third touchdown, and
"Buzza" backed him up by sue
cessfully kicking the goal. Bald

Darling, and scored the fourth six
points. The fifth touchdown was
chalked up by Darling.
1t was during the third quarter
that the visitors we're the most
dangerous. Parker, Dows 'uIl-

VALUABLE FARM
PROPERTY BURNED
AT SUTTON
Bert Percy's Big Barn
Filled With Crops and
Stock Destroyed

Early Saturday morning Bert
Percy's big barn on the South
Ridge was burned to the ground.
The fire started in some way
from the lantern which hung in
the stable.
The COWS and horses were saw
ed, but Guernsey bull, some
sheep and calves were burned. The
barn was well filled with hay and
other crops and Il large quantity OF
farm machinery was also in the
barn.
Mr.. Percy had just repaired his
stables and the barn contained a
milking machine and separator
which were a total loss.
This is big loss and was only
partly covered by insurance.
The barn was built bv Daniel L.
RuggleS at a cost Of over $4,000
when lumber and labor were both
cheap.
The house was saved by the good
work of neighbors who rushed to
Mr.. Percy's aid as soon as the
alarm was given. Once more SUIT
ton boys show what good firemen
they are.

For Montpelier, Twombly was
easily the most aggressive, never
failing to penetrate the Institute

following him closely was Davis

a more severe beating.
The game opened with the Sem

the ball went into play on the Sem

punt, Durgin receiving on his 20
