FOOTBALL
' ' SEASON
Opcned With A Tic Savc Last
Saturday.
WEIGHT'DIDN'T WIN.
Bennington Has Good Material Out It Muit
Be Worked Over Into
Shape.
Tlie newly organized local football
team played its first ganio Saturday
againstthe Y. M. C. A. team of North
Adams on thenew athlotlc ileld. T,he
scoro was a tle, 0 to 0, eaeh team raak
ing a touchdown and jacking goal.
Whllo-tho Bennington team did not
win and in some rospects mado a rathor
sirry exhlbltlon it showed that it ls
made up of good materinl and neods
only good hard practice aud teamwork
to raako it one of tho best eleven that
Bennington ever put on tho gridiron.
Ono disagreeable featuro of the gamo
was tho action of tlie crowd in push-
ing over tho ropos into tho lleld, shutt
ing out tho view of those who observ-
ed the laws of deconcy and interfering
with the players as well. The grpunds
should be better poltcetl. .
Arthur Cushman of North Benning
ton has beon electedcaptain oflhe team.
The lessons from the game last Sat
urday are mainly these: The line is
practically imprognable; the left ond
of tlie line proved theniselves to be
steady and reliable and witb their ex'
traordinary qulek backs, the Adams
team was unable to hardly start a
forination toward the left before it was
broken up and the runner downed.
At the right end were made the only
gains which matorialiMd" rhroughout
the game for th Adams team. It is
ootewort thafc Vhe Bennington backs
wore not'only exlwniely slow in get-
ting started and failed to findtftfioles
E" ' h wjBre gpenad uptlnuajfajf for
by tjtte maa isutf j&W, btfl ther
bSWitKiKl Very pafptttffftmit
costly errors In furabllng.
It was because of a bad fumble that
the only score was made by the Adams
team, and in at loastthree insktnces
in the first half, a funiule prevented a
sure touchdown by the home team.
All the faults of the Bennington team
were mainly due to lack of practice
and a proper amount of coachlng.
We prosunio to say that those who
have the pleasure of seetng Benning
ton play this week Saturday will not
bellevo it to be the same team that
played last Saturday. Caroftll prac
tice and consciontious work vill make
a fine team for Bennington, as tho
raaterial and abllitv is excellont.
BURR AND BURTON.
Defoati the Y. M. C A. Team at Manchester
Saturday, Score 22 to 0,
Tho Y. M. C. A. football team went
to Manchester Saturday and was de
feated by iSscoro of 22 to 0.
The two teams in tho lirst half were
well matchod, although tho Burr and
Burton boys showed tho rosult of
more practice in their excellent team
work. The score at the end of the
first half was 5 to 0. f
In the second half Burr and Burton
put in one of their Instructors as hal
back and the remainder of the gamo
was simply a serles of rushes through
Bennlngton's line for gains of from
flve to fiftcen yards until tlme was
called. The Burr and Burton made
threo touch downs during this half,
but failed to kick one goal.
A return gamo will be played here

Yet when some years ago I preachod
them and parried a resolution into
viitage meeting catiing lor them on
Main street as a starter, the idea and
the resolution were rejeoted almost
unanimously. A number of sermons
upon the sanio subject and another
resolution at a subsequent meeting
finally met approval. Prior to this,
however, it took yoars to oonvince the
peoplo of the dosirabillty of a grade
survey, but after it came who regret-
ted it? 1
For several years I fought strenu
ously against the use of the1 quartsite
hardhead, holding that it was entirely
unsuited for road bullding, but so per-
sistant were tlie advocates of this
niaterlal that use finally ended in
the absolute destruction of nearly all
tho streets. Indeed, at the opening of
tho current year it was generally ad
muteu tnat tlie streets were in poorer
condltion than for twonty years prior,
notwithstandlng tlie fact that nore
than $100,000 had been oxpended upon
them during that time
There is today hardly a rod of street
niacudamized with quartzite that is in
good condition, whlle the only street
laid down properly with bluo lime
stone is in good condition aftor eight
years' uso.
It matters loss, howovtr, what sort
of material ls used lf It is proporly
used. Road bullding is a soience ro
quiring study"and obsorvation and ex
perienco. I havo always been a stick
ler for good roads, and so intorested
in tho subject did I becorne that' I took
up the study, laid in technical and
practical books, went about and ob
served, and the past year put to a
partial test the frults of these studies.
With the exception of a little patch of
street 121 feet long on North street,
which I personally took In hand, my
duties have been, as chairman of tho
treet commlttoo, largoly advisory.
But It is not denied that a bettor
showlng was made this year In tho
street dopartment than In any prevlous
ear, since thero wero laid down 2478
feet of stono street, requiring over a
tbousand Ioads of metal, and 5253 feet
of graveled street, requiring noarly
3000 louds of material. These streets
wero put down to stay for a cousldor
ablo time. Tho stono streets especl
ally, with Intelllgent care, are good
for ten years.
I may add, however, that lf given a
good blue stone quarry, a steam drill
(costing loss than 1200 and dolng tho
work of 30 men) and tho tools wo al
roady own, nearly or quito doublo thq
stone work of tho past year could havo
been dono in a better and more lasting
way.
Still, it is not onough to build a,
street well whon built; . it should bo
taken caro of. Wator is tho groat on
erayofthe road bed. If a streot is
not laid down and compacted inlayors,
orowned .well as to foundatlon and
surfaco, and then kopt clean It will
soon go to decay.
If horse dropplngs and othor rofuse
are Wt on the mirfacp. and these kept
wot lth the treet sprinklei and tho
rains, a disintegrating olemont is al
ways prosent. A good street re
minds one of a good Pet of teeth. If
kept clean and occasionally repaired
the teeth will endure well into age.
As u practical doraonstration of
sovoral thlngs,- the little patch on
North street, abuttlng Maln, was laid
down of Inferior material in a super
ior way, and then cared for. When it
had stood for a tlrae to getwell settled
and dried out, it was scraped of its
top drassing to the bare stone. It was
found to be as smooth as asphalt and
as hard as a rock.
Of tho sevon Ioads of stono dust
lluslied into the top layer 10 1111 the
voids and bind the surfaco, loss than
a lond was scraped olT. Hereafter, by
contributlons from abuttlng business
Urms, lt is to be hand swopt twico a
week. This is to demonstrato tho
practical uee of a street swceper, tho
utllity of keoping cloan, and tho woar
Ing qualltlos of a streot proporly laid
down and Intelllgontly cared for.
