Kingsland left Saturday for New Orleans, where he goes as a delegate from the Alpha Lambda chapter of Kappa Sigma in Burling ton. This society is the third largest of the college fraternities, with 50 chapters.

It was started in the University of Virginia and is especially strong in the west and south. The little incident in' the second half of the football game, when the crowd tried to take a hand in the game, was nothing creditable "to the town, and the players and Referee Hindes are to be complimented on their prompt action in clearing the field and preventing further Hard Fought Game Results In Victory for I Vergennes, 17 too. Tbefootball game asked for by the Bristol team came off in Vergennes Thursday, Nov. 20th, when the newly orgauized team of the Ancient City defeated the Bristol veterans by a decisive score of IT to 0. Before this game Bristol had claimed the chftm pionship of Addison county, so that Vergennes might now properly lay claim to the same.

The game was won by Vergennes on better all-round rbotbali. Hawley and Casey, who had been depended upon for the left side of the Vergennes line, were unable to play, but Gee and Lar- row did excellent work, while Kings-land at center and tackle was a hard proposition for the visitors. January and Hanueman tackled hard and low, theirwork being in decided contrast to that of the visitors, who invariably throttled the runner round the neck. Mack ran the team with good judgement and passed the ball well. Hind-ley and Aunchman held their men well and got into the plays with good, hard shoving and dragging that counted for distance.

For the visitors Hill and Miles rushed the ball well, but the plays were slow in starting and the line was powerless against straight or cross bucking. Vergennes simply swept the visitors off their feet and finished strong, while Bristol's defence crumpled up and the men finished tired and winded from the fast work of the home team and the steady hammering of McCuen, Gillette and Gowett Barring a few moments in the second half, when the crowd undertook to play the game, there was no slugging or dirty work and the visitors expressed themselves as satisfied with their treatment. 1 THE GAME IX DETAIL. Captain McCuen won the toss and chose to defend the north goal, giving Bristol the kick-off. The whistle sounded at three o'clock and Miles kicked off to Aunchman on the 30 yard line, who advanced the ball 10 yds.

Gowett bucked left guard for i yds. On a fake buck with tackle back Gowett made 5 yds. through the other side of the line. Gillette went outside of right tackle for ten yds. Gowett made a yard at center but Mc Cuen failed to gain around Gove and punted on the next line up to Bristol's 40 yd line.

McCuen went down fast on the kick and put his men on side, Larrow falling on the ball for Ver-; gennes: The local boys now got into the game in great shape and the Bristol line was unable to hold the terrific plunges of the Vergennes backs. Gowett hit left guard for 3 yds and Gillette made it first down outside of left tackle. McCuen went through McGee for 12 yds and on the next play got around Gove for five. Gowett went through center for 3 yds and Mc Cuen tore off 5 yds outside of right tackle Gillette made 5 yds in the same place and on the next play Gowett was shoved over for a touchdown after five minutes of playing. McCuen kicked the goal.

Score: yergennes Bristol 0. Miles kicked off to McCuen who brought it back to Vergennes 50 yd line. By line plunges Vergennes ad vanced the ball to the center of the field, here McCuen punted to Bristol's 35 yd line. Hill received the kick and was downed in his tracks by Han- neman. Bristol, by line bucking and occasional end runs, carried the ball to the center of the field, where Ver gennes held lor downs.

ergennes again started the ball towards Bristol's goal and had covered twenty yards- of the distance when they fumbled and a Bristol man fell on the ball. Bristol carried the ball from their own 30 yd line to Vergennes' 50 yd line, using tackle back plays to good advantage. Right here Vergennes showed that they had a defence and proceeded to hold Bristol for downs. Kingsland stopped a tandem play aimed at him without gain and Gee threw Hill for a loss. Hill tried Hindley but was stopped for a loss.

The whistle for the close of the half sounded just as Vergennes was about to get ball. Score: Vergennes Bristol 0. SECOND HALF. McCuen kicked off for Vergennes to Hill, who was nailed by Kingsland, after he had brought the ball back ten yards. Bristol tried Hannemau's end, but Billy smashed the interference and nailed the man for a four yard loss.

Bristol failed to gain on the next two plays and the ball went to Vereennes on downs, uowett went through a hole made by Hindley for 3 yds and made it first down on the other side of the line. McCuen went outside of tackle for 8 yds and Gillette made five through the same place. The ball was now on Bristol five yard line. January failed to gain around the opposite end and Bristol got the ball on a fumble on the next play, ma leu oacK tor a punt nut kingsland and McCuen went through like a Hash and blocked the kick McCuen securing the ball on Bristol's two yard line. On the next line Me-1 Cuen was pushed over for a touchdown, but missed the goal.

Miles kicked on to Kingsland, who ran the ball in 20 yards, covering the last five with half the Bristol team on his back, Vergennes now showed her best offensive work of the day, taking the ball from her own 40 yard, line straight down the field for a touch- Vergennes Hanueman, Gee Larrow, Hindley, Aunchman, January, Mack, McCuen, Gillette, Gowett, Touchdowns, Gowett 2, McCuen 1.

Three stores along Main street, Vergennes, were entered and robbed last Thursday night, the entrance being effected in the same manner in each case by removing the glass in rear doors and then opening the doors. It is likely that the burglaries were committed between two and three o'tock in the morning, as parties on the street at that time report having seen two men in one.case and three men in another, who seemed to have business that took them away, from Main street. The stores of C.

S. Haven, W. R. Waruer and N. J.

McCuen were the victims of the burglars, and, in each of these places, small sums, varying from three to six dollars, were "taken from cash drawers and cash registers, the receptacles in every case being opened in the ordinary manner. Attempts were also made on the stores of Jubie Daniels, O. C. Dalrymple Sou, Main street, and C. A.

Booth's Son In the two first cases, heavy wooden shutters foiled" the robbers. In the latter, it is believed they were frightened away. At Warner's, the safe, which is never locked, was opened and the contents systematically ransacked, papers being gone through and strewed on the floor, both from there and the desk. The whole inside of the safe was pulled out bodily. It is possible that small articles from this store may also be missing.

In McCuen's various articles have already been missed, be side the small sum of money secured from the cash drawer. It seems strange that the robbers knew so accurately where tills cash drawers were located and that the attempt should have been made on ''turkey da" when a good volume of trading had been done. No attempt was made on Haven's safe, which might have repaid investigation had it been forced. Certain facts like these rather discredit the notion of professionals, who would have been likely to make some kind'of an attempt on a locked safe. In fact, there is a very general feeling growing up that parties right here in town may have had something to do with the affair.

On the other hand the neatness with which the glass was removed from the doors, the familiarity of the burglars with cash drawers and cash registers and the boldness, system and secrecy of the whole matter point to the professional theory. BRIDPORT. A. C. Preble and S.
