There was a football game in Ver-gonnes Thanksgiving that was not regularly scheduled. 'It was arranged in a hurry, played in a hurry and every one hurried home to supper afterwards.

It was between the warriors from the west side of Otter Creek and the tigers of the high school team. There was a small audience to witness the efforts of the teams. Considerable delay was experienced in waiting for the west side contingent to arrive, with the result that the latter part of the game was played in semi-darkness. When the teams finally lined up, the west sides were shy three or four men, but their superior weight proved a hard proposition for the livelier high school players to solve. Leo Larrow acted as captain of the west sides and his strength and aggressiveness made scoring a difficult matter.

The high school played quickly and aggressively, but were unable to gain much ground, the ball changing hands ten or a dozen times in a territory or about fifteen yards. Finally Larrow began to punt, which soon brought the ball close to the high school goal, where he finally carried it over, score 5 to 0. lie failed to kick the goal, as the ball was touched to the ground and Seiple fell on it. For the high school, Seiple, Yattaw, Woodman and Carter played a good game, but were badly handicapped by lack of team work and the weight of their opponents. There was a ereat deal of fumbling on both sides.

rover Gowett and Pierre Miner acted as umpire and referee. The Bristol Version. The Bristol Herald had the following last week in regard to the recent football game: The Bristol football team went to Vergennes last Thursday and went up against too much beef. Kern' Vergennes 17, Bristol 0. The Vergennes team put up a good game, winning fairly.

This team was much heavier than the Bristols, but the latter fought hard. The rowdy element and every town is inflicted with too many of that class was much in evidence at the game. This class of ignorant people do not know how to treat visitors decent. They are not sportsmen and know nothing of fair play and their presence at any game is one of the features that all fair minded people would like to see eliminated. The Bristol team speak in high terms of the gentlemanly treatment they received at the hands of the Vergennes players, all of vhom are real Frank L.
