The Brattleboro high school football
team defeated the Amherst high school
team yesterday afternoon ut Pratt field
by score of 81 to Z. The locals played
in the best form they have shown this
wear. and the game was marked by long
end runs and smashing line plays. Both
teams played straight football and there
were few fumbles and fewer penalties
Can't. Manley. Mitiguy and l.. Hey
wood did the scoring for the locals, but
Deyo. playing his first game for b. II.
S. was the real star. He distinguished
himself especially on three occasions by
intercepting a forward pass, recovering a
tumble. and preventing an Amherst score
in the last quarter by tackllnS an Am
herst back after Il long run 10 Brattle-
boro's 15-yard-line. His defensive work
showed up well and his only weakness
seemed to he in getting down the held
after a kick.
Manley and L. Haywood made several
thrilling end runs for good gains and
AIitiguy did good work in his plunges
off tackle Many times. if the local in
reference became faulty, these players
used their heads and got through the
Amherst defense without any help. The
line PLAYED steadily. the visitors making
few yards through Robb or McGarrigle.
Dorsey, Fleury and FlebUt starred for
Amherst. The visitors hopes that their
trio of Negro lineSmen would bring them
victory did not materialize. Al of these

game and then recovered the ball after
about a minute of play on downs. The
locals worked the ball to the goal line
and Manley went over for the first

Fleury ran the ball back 30 yards before
he was downed. The visitors then
showed the best fight that they did during
the game. They carried the ball to the
10-yard line and then Flebut passed to
Dorsey in the end zone for Amherst's
only touchdown. Flebut added thcNeXtra
