The Wildcats had a good ball club, no more than that.

But in comparison to the inept Green and Gold aggregation that staggered through the motions Saturday, the visitors looked like a national powerhouse. For Vermont, lacking In execution all semblance of tackling, blocking and organized team play, simply reeled under the flood of New Hampshire manpower, poise and presence gone. Joe Nathanson and Charlie Karazia. a pair of very talented backs, slashed the Vermont line and secondary to shreds all afternoon. This duo, aided and abetted by other sundries of more or less ability, romped around the ends, jaunted through tackle and.

when more orthodox means of transportation failed, used the airways with dazzling and destructive effect. The Wildcat line mowed down the Catamount defenses with scythe-like I ecision and. on the occasions when a man was missed, the carrier simply faked him, shot out a long stiff-arm and was away for gains ranging from 5 yards into infinity. It made no difference whom Coach Johnny Sabo sent into this maelstrom of touchdowns. The Vermont tackling was of the lovinar.

neck and head variety. If at all; blocking became a forgotten art and the offense was. badly put, a Joke. New Hampshire looked srood because Vermont Icoked bad. That tells a simple, little story of the worst defeat a Green and Gold team has received In Its home pasture within memory.

Cats Look Good For A Minute For a minute, believe it or not, Vermont looked like a ball club. Co-captains Bob Lawton and Austin Ross started in the line, Sunderland was In the backfield and the Catamounts, apparently back in stride after a season of injury losses, offered stubborn resistance. Jerry Quadras. New Hampshire quarter, fumbled Bedell's kick-off around the 15-yard stripe. finally picked it up and ran 35 yards before he was pushed out of bounds near mid-field.

But the Wildcat offense was immediately smothered. Three plays lost three yards and Giarla punted to the 19. After an exchange of punts. New Hampshire swung Into action on their own 48-yard line. Back went Giarla.

He ripped around right end, flung a lateral to Mirey and then Ross smashed Into the play. The ball jumped out of Mirey's hands. Cannon caught it in mid-air and legged 50 yards for a touchdown. The officials, conferring on the scene of the tragedy, decided that the whistle had been blown, called the play back and presented the melon, with apologies, to New Hampshire. First Touchdown Came the first forecast of impending doom.

Giarla and Karazia hit the Catamount line for no gain but, on a pointed play, Quadros threw a pass directly over the line which Tom Giarla snatched out of a group of six Vermont defenders and then lugged over the remaining few yards for the first touchdown. Giarla also booted the conversion from placement. Score: New Hampshire 7, Vermont 0. Second Touchdown New Hampshire kicked off to O'Neil, who fumbled the canteloupe on the 28 and, then, when Ross kicked weakly, Giarla carried it to the Vermont 20.

Line bucks and reverses netted a first down on the 7-yard tape and. when ground maneuvers were suddenly halted, Quadros merely tossed a pass to Charlie Karazia in the end. zone. It was as simple at that. Karazia taking the ball over Cannon's head for the second score.

The try failed. New Hampshire 13, Vermont 0. Third Touchdown Coach Christianson. handling the New Hampshire gridiron strategy this season, immediately poured his reserves into the combat and the Wildcats became a much more effective machine. Moving down the field with synchronized perfection, they amassed six first downs and when the Vermont wall stiffened on the 16 yard stripe.

Nathanson faded back, took aim. and tossed a pass to Home in the fiat for the third touchdown. Five passes, three touchdowns. Score: New Hampshire 19, Vermont. Fourth Touchdown Midway in the second period.

Vermont actually got its offense underway. Dave Jones, the only Catamount back that can run in an open field, slipped away with a Sunderland lateral for six yards which, aided by an offside penalty, was good for a first down. Seconds later he got free around end for eight more and another offside made two first downs. Two passes failed and Vermont kicked. After an interchange of punts, Joe Nathanson got underway on the Vermont 42.

broke into high and outran the entire Green eleven for the fourth touchdown. His converting kick was true, splitting the gallows. New Hampshire 26, Vermont 0. The half ended the march for some 15 minutes. Fifth Touchdown Opening the second half.

Sabo sent his varsity, including cripples, for the first time this season. Little Paul Berry, who played a whirlwind game all afternoon at halfback, fought and twisted his way through the left side of the line for nine yards and Sunderland pounded through for a first down. Jones cut away for five yards but a pass was incomplete and Ross, slow in getting his kick away, had the punt blocked by Arnold Ro-gean. towering Wildcat end. Rogean picked up the loose melon in stride and carried it over for the fifth touchdown.

Quadros converted. Score: New Hampshire 33, Vermont 0. Sixth Touchdown After an exchange of kicks. Vermont fumbled on the 18 yard line and Ed Little, end, recovered at that spot. Nathanson and Karazia hit the line and skirted the ends, Karazia making a first down on the 6-yard line.

A shovel pass, Quadros to Karazia. carried the ball to the one foot line and Karazia plunged over the left side for the score. Nathanson converted. New Hampshire 40, Vermont 0. Seventh Touchdown Three plays after the kick-off.

Ross punted to Nathanson. who broke for the sidelines, faked the tacklers neatly and. using his stiff-arm to good advantage, tore 45 yards for a touchdown. He converted neatly. New Hampshire 47.

25. P) For the third straight week-end the East has had a new leading individual football scorer today, with Bill Pecora, fullback of the undefeated New York Aggies, taking over to end the shortlived reign of Fred King of Hobart. Just as King succeeded Mujwit of Western Maryland last week after a one-week run, Pecora posted a total of 45 points with seven touchdowns and three extra points to go in front. He climbed to the top with three touchdowns and an extra point in yesterday's victory over Hartwick. King sank to fourth place, behind a pair of ballcarriers from the unbeaten, United Cortland (N.

Teachers, Fullback Harry Brosius and Halfback Harold Stone, who deadlocked for second with 42 points each.

The baU bounced back down the field, where two Burlington players fell on it, but Referee Allen, apparently making up rules to fit the occasion, ruled it Rutland's ball on the 50-yard mark. While Burlington was still trying to figure out just what constitutes a fumble, Coates passed to the well-known Pye, who gathered the baU in for a 25-yard gain. Two more passes failed and then Marchacos intercepted one on his own ten-yard line. He lateralled it to Roberge, who came up to the 27. Burlington failed to gain and Moulton punted as the period ended.

Moulton, back' ing up the line, intercepted a Rut land pass and came back to his own 47. On second down Deneault swung wide around right end, tossing a lateral to Roberge who sprinted 30 yards along the side line before being forced out of bounds. Deneault tried the same play to the left, the lateral going to Marchacos, who scored after a 20-yard sprint. Deneault's drop-kick for the extra point was wild.

Pye returned the kick-off to his own 40 and Burlington gave Rutland 15 yards on a holding penalty. Time was fast waning as Rutland was twice offside and then fumbled. This time a Red player recovered, saving the referee -the bother of another annoying decison. Final Gallant Try Rutland finaUy punted and Marchacos started toward the right on his run-back. Hemmed in by tacklers, he reversed his field and aided by the best blocking Burlington has done all season dashed 45 yards up the left side pf the gridiron.

It looked like another touchdown as Deneault sent a lateral to Roberge for 25 yards and Labrecque seized a pass on the five-yard line. Three plunges by Wilbur should have scored. He made two yards on one attempt and then a lateral was called for. Just Who was supposed to receive it is uncertain, but the ball bounced off the back of a Burlington player and Lafossa recovered for Rutland. It was Burlington's last chance, Rutland holding the ball and gaining repeatedly until the whistle a few moments later.

With nine men finishing hand-in hand, the University of Vermont harriers drubbed Springfield College cross-country Saturday by the perfect score of 15 to 40. The Vermont Frosh also defeated the Vermont tate school of agriculture 24 to 31. The gymnasts furnished absolutely no opposition for Coach Post's experienced sqquad. Rollie Steele, ace Vermont runner and RusseU were way out in front at the halfway mark and finally eased up in the last mile to allow their teammates to finish with them.

12-0 Junior College Gives a Striking Display of Power In Winning Its Third Victory Freshmen Fail, to Make a First Down (Special to the Free Press) POULTNEY, Oct. strong Green Mountain Junior College added another victim to its list here yesterday by overpowering the University freshmen 12 to in a striking display of power. Midway in the first period the Greenies recovered a Vermont fumble of a kick on the 38 yard stripe. Chorn-yak passed to Kanna for a 15 yard gain and the big end lugged it to the 20-yard stripe. Chornyak immediately dashed around end for 15 yards and then Sennett bucked the line twee for the score.

Phillips' placement failed. In the third period Chornyak and Sennett alternated off tackle and around end to bring the ball to the 30 yard line. Here Chornyak passed 15 yards to Hoey and on the next play Hoey swept over the line on the antiquated end-around play for the second touchdown. A pass for the extra point failed. The triumph was the third for the Greenies in four starts.

(iP) College football's casualty list, sparing no particular section or reputation, shaped up today as the most shocking so this season along the front lines of combat. Ten additional teams in the so-called "major league" ranks were either beaten or tied for the first time during a week-end marked by wholesale form reversals, contrasting sharply with the conquering rush of Minnesota's unconquerables and the explosive return to power of the Pittsburgh Panthers.

Chief Among Victims Chief among the victims as the campaign reached the half way 6tage were 1) Duquesne, toppled by West Virginia Wesleyan Friday night, less than a week after whipping mighty Pittsburgh and-(2) Duke, sand-bagged by Tennessee after being put forward as the south's No. 1 Rose BowlJ candidate and rated second only to Minnesota last week in a nation-wide Associated Press poll of sports experts. Yesterday's most startling upset saw Wallace Wade's powerful Blue Devils frustrated repeatedly near the Tennessee goal line and finally beaten, 15 to 13, by the exploits of youthful "Red" Harp, who gathered in one of Ace Parker's long punts late in the final period and ran 70 yards for the winning score. Any slight hesitation in ranking Minnesota as the country's No. 1 team again has been completely removed for the time being as a consequence of the 30-0 rout of Purdue by the galloping Gophers.

Notre Dame had the misfortune to catch Pittsburgh on the rebound. The Irish took a 26-0 drubbing, as a consequence, while more than 70,000 spectators wondered how it had been possible for such a Panther powerhouse to lose to Duquesne the week before on the same field. It was all the more puzzling in view of Friday's rude awakening for the neighboring "Dukes," who yielded by a 2-0 score to West Virginia Wesleyan in tumbling from football's merry-go-round. The Panthers will! have a chance next Saturday to consolidate their claims to a top eastern rating by taking on Fordham, conqueror of St. Mary's Gaels yesterday and one of the few remaining unbeaten-untied combinations in the seaboard sector.

St. Mary's Lose By Tolnt St. Mary's dropped from the unbeaten ranks by a one-point margin. 7-6, as Fordham's stout-hearted defense proved more than a match for the Galloping Gaels from the west coast Ohio State gained its first big ten victory and first triumph in three straight matches by downing Indiana, 7 to 0, while Michigan ended its losing streak at the expense of the Columbia Lions. The Wolverines upset their eastern rivals, 13 to 0, for the second straight year and administered a blow to the "Ivy League's" bid for inter-sectional prestige.

Along the eastern front, Yale. Army. Holy Cross and Villanova joined Fordham in keeping their slates clean. Holy Cross came through another rugged test to beat Carnegie, 7 to 0. Yale tuned up for Dartmouth by trimming Rutgers.

28 to 0, while the Indians from Hanover scalped Harvard, 26 to 7. Army rolled back Springfield. 33 to 0, and moves next against Colgate, which clicked for the first time this season in walloping Lafayette, 41 to 0. Princeton Beats Navy Princeton pulled a hidden ball play from its bag of tricks to turn back the Navy, 7 to 0, and recover some of the prestige lost the week before. The Tigers tackle Harvard this week.

Cornell's youthful team out-scored penn State, 13 to 7, for its third triumph in four starts, and now challenges Columbia. Duke's downfall in the south projects Tulane and Louisiana State as rivals for Dixie's top ranking this week. Tulane knocked North Carolina's Tarheels from the unbeaten class with another impressive victory, 21 to 7. Louisiana State whipped Arkansas, 19 to 7. Mississippi turned in an inter-sectional conquest at the expense of another previously unbeaten team, Catholic University of Washington, D.

C. 14 to 0. One of the day's main surprises was the "moral triumph" for Vanderbilt in holding Georgia Tech to a scoreless tie. Sectional leaders otherwise include Nebraska in the Big Six, Washington on the Pacific coast, and Utah State In the Rocky Mountain Conference. A notable coincidence here Is that two of the trio, Washington and Nebraska, have been beaten only by Minnesota.

Quality Clothiers Established 1897 (Special to the Tree Press) ST. ALBANS, Oct. 25.

For three consecutive Saturdays this fall Coach Neil Brown's ironmen of Bellows Free Academy have played scoreless tie games with their opponents. The new football playing field on Coote Athletic Park seems to hold a- jinx against teams scoring as the game, last Thurs day afternoon between St. Mary's High school and Vermont Junior College of Montpelier resulted with no scores for either team. It appears that most of the elevens playing here so far this season have built up practically impenetrable defenses while their offensive has been sadly neglected. Whatever the case, the fact remains that yesterday afternoon for the fourth time this fall elevens emerged from the fray without scoring one point.

When the crucial moments arrives for the big punch that is necessary to score the players appear bewildered and dazed and attempt to execute plays that fail to function. Bellows Free Academy and Montpelier High school battled for 48 minutes without result. Each got to a few yards from opponents' goal line on several occasions but neither team produced the momentum to shove the ball across. The game did not furnish much of the spectacular for the hundreds of fans who witnessed two evenly matched teams work back and fourth from one -end of the field to the other. The only time B.

F. A. made any substantial gains was in the second period by straight football. Guyette, who did not start the game because of 'a lame leg, was sent into the game to replace Horton at fullback. Francis, Montpelier's fullback, had just punted to B.

P. eight-yard line. Guyette, Thibault and Menard charged through Montpelier's line after their interference had ripped open Coach Coan's forward defense for five first downs, bringing the ball to Montpelier's 31-yard line where the Green and Gold offensive came to a disastrous end when Guyette fumbled, Montpelier recovering. This was the only time during the game with the exception of a couple of successful and well executed passes that the Green and Gold demonstrated any semblance of good offensive football. The loss of McDonald, who is ineligible because of the age limit, was keenly felt.

Hodges and Cioffl alternated at quarterback in place of McDonald. The boys worked exceedingly hard but apparently need more experience in running a team. On the line Dumont was outstanding. Time and time again he would break through the Montpelier forward wall and nail the ball carrier for big losses. For Montpelier Francis and Magna starred.

Francis especially tore around right and left ends for long gains. Lewis also did some good work during the afternoon, both on the offense and defensive. Yates and Mc- jjuwcu, iuc vioniua cuu up man. 1f.no.V many of Guyette's and Menard's dashes for open territory. First Period B.

B. P. A. was penalized five yards for offside and then another penalty for a similar offense. DeForge then drove through for a first down.

Francis, with good interference, scooted around right en for 20 yards to the B. F. -A. 48-yard 'line and another first down. Dumont broke through Montpelier's defense and threw Lewis for a big loss.

Francis then completed a forward pass to Yates for 20 yards and a first down. Coach Coan's boys were driving near the B. F. A. goal line.

A tackle back of the line and Montpelier lost 10 yards. An incomplete pass was followed by another attempted forward pass. Francis fumbled and was tackled while recovering the ball and lost 15 yards, thus losing the ball to B. F. A.

on the Green and Gold's 35-yard line. Menard punted, the ball rolling to Montpelier's 38- yard line. Francis skirted right end for 13 yards and a first down, but B. F. A.

The period ended with Montpelier in possession of the ball at midfield on fourth down. In this quarter Montpelier made four first downs and B. F. A. none.

Second Period Montpelier punted when the second period opened, the ball being retrieved on the Green and Gold's 24-yard line, Francis, playing close to the line, broke through the Green and Gold wall and nailed Menard for a big loss. Menard punted to mid-field. Montpelier fumbled. B. F.

A. recovered. An attempted forward pass was intercepted by Rafus. With a third down and 14 yards to go Francis dashed around right end for 10 yards, not enough for a 'first down, so he punted. Both teams were offside so Francis again, this time to the Green and '8-yard stripe.

Rutland High's Red Raiders carved out an 18 to 6 victory over Burlington High here Saturday afternoon, scoring all their points in the first half of the game. The victors mixed reverses, cut-backs, and forward passes with devastating effect and Burlington never had a chance until the final quarter when the Sea Horses came to life and swept 48 yards on two lateral plays to tally their lone touchdown.

Rutland piled up an enormous advantage in yardage, making one touchdown march of 81 yards on more or less straight football and traveling 65 yards for another tally on mixed runs and passes. Burlington was out-rushed 146 yards to 10 in the first half alone. Burlington backs being thrown for losses while Rutland ball carriers were getting away for gains of 15 or 20 yards on single plays.

The locals scored from mid-field on De-neault's laterals to Robergc and Mar-chacos, the latter gaining the six points. A few plays later Marcha-cos ran a punt back 45 yards and another lateral from Deneault to Ro-berge carried to the 15-yard line. A pass to Labrecque gave Burlington a first down on the Rutland five-yard line and Wilbur plunged to the three before Burlington lost the ball on a wildly-thrown lateral.

Two more line plunges at this point would probably have given Burlington a second touchdown. Rutland Loses No Time Rutland showed her intentions at an early hour. The Raiders took the first kick-off on their own 19-yard line and never relinquished the ball until Trombley had plunged for the first touchdown nine plays later. Cor-sonnes did the bulk of the carrying in this march, getting off one 20-yard sprint. Burlington tacklers allowed the hard-driving Rutlanders to plow through unmolested, slowing them only temporarily inside the 25-yard line.

From the 15 Guynup cut around left end to the two-yard stripe and Trombley plunged for the touchdown. His kick for the point went wide, as did all extra point tries during the after- noon. Second Rutland Touchdown Burlington, apparently badly upset by the sudden scoring, took Rutland's kick-off, lost four yards on two plays, and punted to midfield. Rutland used passes in her march this time, making the play more sensa tional and going from the 45-yard line to the second touchdown in just four plays. Trombley, a good passer throughout the game, threw one to Dorion for 17 yards and then cut through under his own power for a single-handed first down.

The Raiders lost three yards on the next play but Trombley passed down the center to Pye who scored in the far corner of the field. The pass and run together covered 19 yards. Burlington showed her best drive of the first half when Freeman returned Rutland's kick-off. 25 yards and the Sea Horses ran off two first downs in succession. Marchacos and Freeman charged for the first one and the second came on a pass from Simonson to Marchacos, bringing the ball to Rutland's 23 as the quarter ended.

The Burlington attack failed as the second quarter started, line charges missing and passes being grounded. Simonson punted into the end zone and Rutland gained possession on the 20 yard line. Corsonnes went 34 yards on the first play, a reverse that carried him wide around right end behind splendid interference. Rutland fumbled on the next play, Ritchie and Prim recovering for Burlington. Burlington lost six yards and kicked short to the Rutland 35.

The Raiders' March Again The Raiders started their third march at this point, the inevitable Mr, Pye being largely instrumental in the drive. He took two passes from Trombley that totaled 30 yards, the Burlington secondary seeming "unable to cover him properly. Trombley made most of the remaining distance to the goal line himself and scored the touchdown on a seven-yard plunge. He dropped the ball as he attempted to, kick the extra point and tried to run the point over. just missing as he was forced out at the corner of the field.

Burlington received Rutland's kick- off, came back to the 33, and kicked. Deneault intercepted a Trombley pass on the first Rutland play and then threw to Marchacos on second down for a 17 yard gain as the half ended. Burlington came back savagely and threw Rutland ball carriers for two seven-yard losses as the second half opened. getting through for the tackles. These losses were discounted by Corsonnes who got away for another Ion; 19-yard jaunt, but Rutland soon punted to Burlington's eight.

Moulton immediately returned the kick to Burlington's 42. Roberge recovered a Rutland fum ble and then was thrown for a five-yard loss. Passes failed and Bur- Middlebury High Swamps Bellows Falls High 55-0 Team from Southern Part of State Exhibits Little In Way of Attack or Defense In Contest Played at Middlebury Special to the Free Press) MIDDLEBURY, Oct. 25.
