At that time a committee was appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to get some action on the matter A mass meet ing of citizens was held, and the pro jeef voted down. Though it was the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce directors and other leading citizens of the town that equalization of property values was thing desired, many mill workers cast their votes against it and brought about it's defeat.

Putnams score came at the begin ming of the second half when the lo= calls pulled surprise play, and Cody carried the ball sixty-five yards for touchdown. The extra point was not scored. Honors for the rest of the period remained about even. but in the second half. after Schoenfeldt had inc tercepted a Putnam pass, Webster started another march down the field A tumble and Putnam recovery mo- mentarily halted the progress, but an other series of plunges. runs and trick plays let Schocnfeldt over the last white line. Gadoury scored the extra point
 Tom Cody and Pritchard did the best work for Putnam. and F. Schoen- fedt and Hand for Webster Winslow was at quarterback for Putnam during the whole game. The only substitu- tions were two made in the Webster line.
