 Football Team Disbantletl
 Failure of the players to attend practice sessions has caused the dis- banding of the high school football team, it was learned today. The boys were more than willing to DC present when there was regular game to be played. but on after- moons when practice sessions were to be held the attendance was very small the players showing a great dislike for this necessary work. Th's lack of spirit continued and the school authorities finally decided that il would be mo practice-no game" proposition, so they an- nounced that the season was at an end.
 PlainvilIe high won two games and lost three during it's abbreviated season. It made good showing in all of it's games, it's worst defeat being a 12-O licking from a team over which it later scored an aveng- ing victory. The lack of interest is attributed by many'to the fact that the school is a new one and has no background Of tradition to aid in building up school spirit. The school authorities are doing their best to create spirit but need the coopera- ton of the pupils themselves if they arc to succeed.
 First Real Snow
 Plainville last night had its first real snowfall of the season. tho brief storm coming during the evening and covering the ground with white particles which remained until the suns rays began to seek them out and melt them today.
