Rather than to have lt discovcred,
ln his shop, he grabbod a knlfe and

Norwich reforeo and a Burlington
Hlgh School umplro. Burlington won
tho toss up and Bullock shovcd tho
sphero 25 yards. Buck made a pretty
catch, but was downed by Thomas be
foro ho could go vory far.
Then started a gamo of stralght Hno
bucklng and end runs ln which but
one open play was nmdo and that ln
tho lattcr part ot tho second half.
Smlth was tho flrst to handle tho ball
behlnd the Hno for tho locals and
went through left tackla for three
yards. Hayden tested tho rlght tac
klo for another threo and Buck mado
a dash around end for tho dlstance
and flvo yards more. Hayden was
glvcn tho plgskln a second tlmo but
Palmer broko through and got hlm
beforo ho had falrly started. Cullen
trled a quarter back run but lost his
lntorferenco after a short galn of four
yards and tho slgnal was given to
Buck for a punt which netted 35
yards.
Burke recelved the sphcrold on Bur
llngton's 40-yard llne, but fumbled.
It was qulckly recovered by his team
mate, Hutchinson, who reeled off 15
yards Defore Toraassl downed hlm.
Burke then led off wlth a 10-yard
galn, Allen trled center but falled,
Thomas trled the end but came to the
ground for a loss and Burke punted
but was blocked ln brilliant shapo by
McNeal. Bullock then was given the
ball for W. Smlth's end but Buck got
by his Interferenco and nailed hlm
behlnd his llne. Allen was shoved
through center for a short dlstance,
but dld not mako good enough to en
courage them to rlsk loslng the blad
der on downs, so Burke was called
back and booted for a long galn, the
ball soarlng so hlgh that when Cul
len dld take It on the local's 10-yard
llne he had to tumble.
Wlth tho ball wlthln easy striklng
dlstance of the home tenm's gonl llne
and all dependlng on what could be
done in three downs, Hayden was giv
en the flrst chance and made good,
rlpplng 15 yards off before Allen laid
his hands on hlm. Wlth thls start
Buck and Smlth consecutlvely carrled
the team to tho center of the fleld be
fore Buck had to try his foot agaln,
and then sent it far into tho enemles
country to Thomas. Burlington dld not
hold lt long, however. Allen bucked
for four yards, Bullock found a hole
in tackle which netted flve, and then
Allen trled to do the Wright act and
sall over Pltkln, but Referee Slattery
brought hlm back 15 yards for hurd
llng. Thls brought tho ball to the
vlsltors' 40-yard llne so Burke punted,
Cullen golng 36 yards to recelve it.
The High School held posltion just
long enough for a fumble by Hayden
to Hamllton.
Wlth jusl a mlnute to play, ono of
tho prettlest plays of tho gamo was
pulled off and had it been trled more
tho result might have been dlfferent.
Thls was a delayed pass ln which Al
len carrled the plgskln through the
llno after the rest of tho team had
vanlshed around end. It worked per
fectly and resuTted ln a galn of 12
yards. Bullock started for tho end,
when the whlstle blew for the time.
The second half started wlth Burke
of Burlington klcklng off to Buck who
galned 15 yards. Smlth and Hayden
together woro ablo to reap but flve
yards and Buck booted to Burke who
was downed ln his tracks by Tomassl.
Bullard trled to clrclo tho left end but
was tackled by W. Smith so tho vlslt
tors sent the ball to tho homo team,
Cullen belng tho recelver. Then the
High School got what seemed to bo a
now leaso of llfo and went Into tho
contest ln earncst, every one of the
back fleld comlng in for a galn. Buck
made good end runs, Tomassl mado
good tackles and the team gave good
support, rushlng the sphero up to tho
center, past the center and into the
oncmlcs' torrltory wlthout once los
ing possesslon of the ball.
Flnally tho ball had to bo punted on
a second down, Burko catchlng lt but
was downed so hard that he was laid
put. He came to in a fow minutes and
his team matcs pushcd the spherold
back slowly untll it was lost on a
fumble, golng to tho 44-yard llno.
Thls was tho chanco which Captaln
Pltkln's team had been looklng for
nnd they took ndvantago of tho op
potunlty to advnnco wlthln 15 yards
of tho goal to try for a placo klck.
Buck booted tho ball whllo Cullen
hold lt but It was blocked by Allen
just enough to send lt to tho corner,
loslng for tho locals their last chanco
to tally and tho gamo was called wlth
