2 THE BLUE AND WHITE. Proctor Y. M. C. A. vs. V. H. S. IN VERGENNES. Vergennes’ second game with Proctor Y M. C. A. was a very hard fought game. Proctor could only gain by hard work. Once during the game did Proctor come within five yards of the home team’s goal, but were soon driven back. V. II. S.’s series plays worked to perfection, and it was by this that they scored a touchdown in the first half. Barret as full back for Proctor did fine work hitting the line. McGinnis and LeBoeuf, halves for V. II. S., made long end runs. Teams lined up as follows: PROCTOR, 0. VERGENNES, 5. H. Moore, 1. e. r. e., Daniels C. Moore, 1. t. r. t., Willis Brush, 1. g. r. g., Gee Harvey, c. e., Young Loveland, r. g. 1. g., Carter Noyers, r. t. 1.1., Davies and Woodman Dodge, r. e. 1. e., Hanneman Sawyer, q. b, q. b., Stone Preedom, 1. h. r. h., LeBoeuf Hatch, r. h. 1. h., McGinnis Barret, f. b. f. b., Slack Touchdowns, LeBoeuf; umpire, McCuen; time, 15 and 18 minute halves. Middlebury College 2d vs. V. H. S. IN VERGENNES. This was a good, clean game from start to finish. After a few minutes of playing it was evident that it was only a case of time how big a score our team would run up. Although the visitors had weight they lacked team work. Following is the line up: VERGENNES, 22. Daniels, r. e. Newton, r. t. Gee and Willard, r. g. MIDDLEBURY, 0. r. e., Bristol r. t., Robinson r. g., Shea Young and Gee, c. Willis, 1. g. Carter, 1.1. Woodman, 1. e. Stone, q. McGinnis, 1. h. LeBoeuf, r. h. Slack, f. e., Acton 1. g., Sanford 1.1., Rye 1. e., Carlson q., Iladley 1. h., Coleman r. h., Johnson f., L. Chase Touchdowns, LeBoeuf 3, McGinnis 1; goals, LeBoeuf 2; referee, McCuen: umpires, Prof. Rogers and Pratt; time, 10 and 12 minute halves. Middlebury H. S. vs. V. H. S. IN MIDDLEBURY. Second game with M. II. S. was at Middlebury. V. H. S. received the kick and by steady work advanced the ball almost to their opponents’ goal, but lost the ball on a fumble. The tables turned and M. II. S. had the ball most of the half but were unable to score. Middlebury saw that it was necessary to put Fisher in the second half. By his repeatedly hitting our line they scored two touchdowns. Failing to kick goal the score stood 10 to 0. V. Hv S. had good team work in this game. Score M. II. S., 10, V. II. S., 0; touchdowns, Fisher 2; umpire, Spies; referee, Hutchinson; time, 15 and 10 minute halves. Winooski H. S. vs. V. H. S. IN VERGENNES. The game with Winooski High did not prove a close one. Both sides punted a good deal the first half. Near the end of this half LeBoeuf, by a double pass, scored a touchdown. Vergennes braced up the second half and Slack, by some fine line bucking made a touchdown, also Woodman by his speedy straightaways scored another. With only a few minutes to play, a triple

Football Review. The Season’s Football Results. V. H. S. vs. Proctor Y. M. C. A. IN PROCTOR. The first scheduled game was played with Proctor Y. M. C. A. at Proctor. As we had not seen our team play we expected they would be beaten but had a happy surprise as the game turned out V. H. S. 6, Proctor 5. The game was a very close one. Proctor by hard work scored a touchdown in the first half. For a long time in the second neither team seemed able to gain much ground. With only 30 more seconds to play Proctor tried a place kick; it was blocked; LeBeouf got the ball and ran nearly the whole length of the field for a touchdown. He succeeded in kicking a very difficult goal. When school opened early in September naturally the most talked of subject among the fellows was foot-ball. Capt. LeBoeuf soon issued a call for candidates. Four of last year’s team responded and later Sinon, leaving six places to be filled. On account of the interest taken by the boys a good team was soon rounded into shape. Not least among the causes for a successful season was the work of the second team. Financially the season was a successful one. Received from taxes - 818.00 Left from base ball,...........................34.15 Subscription, ... . . . 14.00 Gate receipts, etc.,............................87.10 Total,.............................$158.25 Expenses,................................ 144.20 Balance left, to be given to base ball, 89.05 Future managers may well profit by the record of the season just ended; for by the general public a team’s success is thought to be determined by the number of games won. This year’s schedule shows an absence of a succession of big games like what constituted last year’s schedule. Consequently the light, fast team of 1905 made a good showing. It won 7, lost 2, tied 1. - Middlcbury H. S. vs. V. H. S. IN VERGENNES. The first home game resulted in a defeat at the hands of our old rivals, M. II. S. This is the first time in years that we have lost to M. II. S. on our own grounds. Fisher of the Middlebury college eleven was individually responsible for both touchdowns, one in each half. M. H. S. was heavier and Yergennes did well to hold the score at 11 to 0. Following is the line up: MIDDLEBl'RY, 11. I.. Hope, 1. e. Bosley, 1.1. Ellis, 1. g. li. Hope, c. Stowe, r. g. Smith, r. t.

Burlington kicked and soon succeeded in getting a touchdown. Vergennes got busy and carried the visitors over for a safety. In the second half V. II. S. by line work made a touchdown. This made the score V. II. S. 8, B. II. S. 6. The team work and Slack’s line bucking were the best in this game of any game of the season. The summary: Touchdows, Larner and Slack; goals, V. II. S., 1, B. H. S., 1; safety on Burlington ; officials, MeCuen and Pattison; linesmen, Meuiller and McKenzie; timekeepers, McGinnis and Day; time of periods, 15 and 18 minutes. St. Michael’s College vs. V. H. S. IN VERGENNES. St. Michael’s College vs. V. H. S. AT WINOOSKI. Being a college they were a little out of our class in age and size; but V. II. S. team work and trick plays were too fast for them. LeBoeuf started the score by making a place kick from the 25 yard line. Woodman’s straightaways gained lots of ground, also Slack did good work through the line. st. Michael’s, 0. VERGENNES, 16. Casey, r. e. T. McMahon, r. t. Hagan, r. g. Limoges, c. O’Brien, 1. g. Quinn, 1. t. Ryan, 1. e. Pellerin, q. b. Lynch, r. h. Galipeau, 1. h. B. McMahon, f. b. 1. e., Davies 1. t., Carter 1. g., Willis c.. Gee r. g., Sinon r. t., Willard r. e., Daniels q. b., Stone r. h., LeBoeuf 1. h., Woodman f. b., Slack Umpire, Pratt; referee, January; time, 15 minute halves. The last out of town game was with St Michael’s at Winooski. The Vergennes players were all very much surprised at the remarkable increase in size and weight of their opponents. They had good reason to believe that recruits had been called in from unknown (?) sources. This game was the fiercest and roughest that our team has played this season. All the recompense they gained from their gritty struggle on the sandy gridiron was an empty goose-egg, but they had the satisfaction of seeing their opponents served the same fare. Class Game. Although there was three inches of snow on the ground and still snowing the class game was played just the same. On account of these condi-, tions two of the Junior team, both first team men, were unable to play. In the first half the Juniors were a good deal the stronger and gained the most ground, coming once
