Spaulding high school easily defeat
ed Montpelier high on the National
Life field at Montpelier yesterday aft
ernoon by the score of As to Q. Mont
pelier lacked weight to stop the tear
ing, plnnging backfeld from Barre.
Captain Abbiati was the star OF the
game, his long runs being the sensa-
ton OF the afternoon. The Barre team
started fast, and before the first half
had ended ran up the score of Is to o.
Spaulding started the game, kicking
to Conf, who ran the ball back ID
wards. Spooner made seven yards and
on the next play was thrown for a
loss Of Ave yards. Montpelier FUN
bled and Cali recovered for Spauld-
ing. Straight line plunging by all the
backs on the Barre team brought the
ball within scoring distance and In
gram took it over for the first score.
Ericsson missed the goal. The second
score came few minutes later when
Cali intercepted forward pass and
raced thirty yards to the goal line
Watkins missed the goal
Montpelier was outclassed in every
department Of the game except punt
ing. Sheridan's kicks were long and
high His distance was splendid but
his teammates could not throw the
heavy Spaulding backs. In the second
quarter Abbiati carried the ball AZ
wards on one play, bringing the ball
to Montpelier's l2-yard line. Spauld-
ing brought the ball to Montpeliers
two yard line on three plays and Ab.
biati carried it over for the third
touchdown.
Kelley, the diminutive end on the
Montpelier outfit, who replaced Pero-
lini soon after the second quarter
started, was the star man on the
Montpelier defensive game. His tack
ling Of the dashing Abbiati when the
feet back had started on a long jaunt
down the field was the neatest bit of
tacklirg during the first half.
The Montpelier team started the
second half with determination
which staggered Spaulding. After
kicking off and recovering they made
two first downs in short time and it
looked like matter OF few seconds
before they would cross Spaulding's
line. But the Barre aggregation dug
in and held them twice for no gain.
ShAidan attempted drop kick from
the 20-yard line but the bail went
wide.
Spaulding then commenced another
march down the field only to lose the
ball when Spooner intercepted for
ward pass on his own 30-yard line.
Sheridan was forced to kick and Eric
son received on his own 25-yard line.
This time Spaulding began a march
down the field that was not to be
stopped and soon romped over for the
fourth score. Watkins kicked the ball
over the bar this time and put Spauld-
ing ahead by the score Of % to 0.
The next touchdown was featured
by Spaulding sprint by Ericsson, the
Spaulding back, of 80 yards and on
the next play he took it over the goal
line. Watkins again came through
with the extra point. Abbiati and Wat
kins again put over the next seven
points for the Barre boys.
The last touchdown was made with
only three regulars in the Spaulding
lineup. Montpelier also began to run
in subs at this time. The fashy CALI
carried the ball over the line, with
darkness fast approaching and a full
moon riding high over the field. Wat
kins kicked the goal from field but
it hit the cross-bar and a few min
utes later the game ended, with
Spaulding on the long end of IS to 0
score. The summary:
