The Alumni of St Johnsbury: wentdown to defeaf before the varsity bya sc.ore of.? S-- 0 in a-j closely' contestedfootball game played pn . the campusSaturday afternoon. The touch downcame in the third quarter at thev endof a slow march' down, the field froma series of short gains on. end runsand tackle plays -- by -- academy.' backs.Cramton finally carried the ball overthrough tackle.
The varsity opened the game bykicking to the alumni defending thewest goal. The end of the firstquarter found the ball in mid-fiel- d inthe varsity's possession. -
In the second quarter on. a seriesof runs the varsity carried the ball tothe Alumni's one yard line. Backedup under their own goal posts , theformer St. J. A. stars stiffened theirdefense and held for downs. D. Farn-ha- m
relieved the "situation by gettingaway a long punt. Woods ran theball back ten yards before he wasdropped Neither side made any ap-preciable gains the, remainder of theperiod.- - ...
The third period found the varsityrunning their' plays off faster ' andpunching the ends . of the line withmore power. A few end runs sprink-led in resulted in short gains. Cram-to- n
finally marched through the linofor the only touchdown of the game.Unable, to. make gains through thevarsity's light but wiry line, Connorshifted the attack to end runs. Lateralpasses helped add a few yards, andhe and D. Farnham skirted the endsfor noticeable gains.The Alumni within easy striking
distance of the varsity goal lost theball on the two yard line, when an-other short rush would have put itover. It was their best and onlychance to score. The final whistleblew with the ball in the possessionof the Alumni. , . j
