THE CRIMSON AND GRAY The Palmer High School eleven defeated the Southbridge local schoolboys on Wells- worth Field, 16 to 6, before a crowd of 400 enthusiastic fans, who cheered their favor- ites to the echo and clearly showed their in- terest in the game. The visitors were much heavier than the Southbridge boys, out- weighing them fully 30 pounds to a man, but the Southbridge players stuck pluckily to their work, and although handicapped by the slippery condition of the field, put up a creditable exhibition. Southbridge won the toss and chose the south goal, which gave them the advantage of the stiff wind. Palmer kicked off and the home team, by repeated line plunging, and aided by a successfully executed forward pass, brought the ball to their opponents ' 12-yard line, from where Duclos, the plucky Southbridge quarter, carried the oval across the goal line for the first score of the game. Although frequently penalized for offside play, the heavy Palmer backs tore through the light opposing line for substantial gains, Chamberlain, the husky fullback, crossing the line for three successive touchdowns, though all attempts to kick goals were fail- ures. Blair, the giant tackle, who weighed well over 200 pounds, penetrated the South- bridge line at will, and nailed the backs be- fore they could get started on the wet field, while Chamberlain at fullback also played an excellent game. Duclos, at quarterback, was easily the star of the home team, doing especially effective work as defensive full- back and making several sensational tackles. At a meeting of all the football candidates Saturday, November 22, Lemmelin, the husky fullback, was elected captain.
