School Loses 10 Southbridge
 The football team of Putnam High school played well in the first half, but lost it's snap in the second. and Wells Eigh of Southbridge won i9 to 6 on Monday afternoon at Putnam. Putnam scored the first touchdown, and Wells evened 1t up. the score standing 6 to at the end of the first half. In the second half the visitors got two more touehdowns. and the ex- tra point after one of them.
 Prifehard kicked of to South bridge. 4 tumble a few plays later gave Putnam the ball in midfield Pritehard and Arnold failed to make ten yards, and the ball went back to Southbridge Fitzgerald punted on third down for Wells, since they were unable to gain through the Putnam line. Pritchard returned the kick, gaining nearly twenty yards on the exchange After Hall had gained twenty yards round end for them, Southbridge was held and kicked to near the Putnam goal. Things looked blue for Putnam until Ed. Arnold in- tercepted a Sonthbridge pass on his own twenty yard line and ran to mid field. Cartier then made twenty yards round end and the Southbridge goal line was only thirty yards away. 4 line play gained five of this. and then a forward pass thrown by Prit- chard which Cartier just caught, re- suited in the score. Southbridge got their first touchdown when Tabor intercepted a forward pass and ran eighty yards in clear field. The half L.F s4st hus- fas. truf n n attack under way again.
 The third quarter found Pritehard throwing forward passes all over the place, since Putnam could not gain much through the line. A few passes were completed, few were intercept ed, but most of them grounded. At the end of the quarter, Southbridge, pass ing with better accuracy, and by gains by Hall and Tabor. had brought the ball within a few yards of the goal, and early in the last quarter Hall took it across. The extra point was by pass to Tessier. The last touchdown came q few minutes later. Tabor SCOT ing it The final score was ig to 6. Hall. the quarterback, and Tabor were the stars for the winners, while Prit- chard. Cartier. Arnold, Thayer and Valentine did the best for Putnam.
 One of Putnam's weaknesses seems to be the inability to back up passes. Several passes have been intercepted in different games. and a few of these have resulted diretly in tonchdowns.
 Pomfre, Boy Stars
 Boston papers carried news stories Sunday of the victory of Norwich University freshmen over the fresh men Of Middlebury College. In this victory, very close. Norwich having II points to it's opponents l3, Mike Maher, late of Putnam High school, was the star. Mike scored both touch downs. and after each kicked a drop kick for the extra point. Pretty good for him. we say.
 Those familiar with the whirlwind game which he put up on the Putnam team last year and the year before are not surprised at his success at Nor wich.
 He plays half back on the Norwich team, and is also captain Mike also plays basket balls. hockey and base bali. and no doubt will shine in some of these sports as well as in football at the Vermont college.
 inJures fIs Ankle
 Another college freshman who is his mark in football Is Chan Morse at Amherst. Chan was a regu lar al either half back or end on the Amherst frosh team until he turned his ankle recently and had to be out for short time. He has a good chance of playing in the game with Williams freshmen tomorrow.
