Presumably Mr. Cade saw that editorial in the school paper, but if he did he didn’t allow it to affect his policy in the least. On Saturday he began sprinkling his first and second substitutes through the team soon after the third period started. The score was then 14 to 10 in Alton’s favor, New Falmouth having proved rather better than expected. To be sure, the latter’s first score came as the result of a fumble by Ness, but the youth who had recovered the ball on the home team’s forty-three yards deserved his touchdown, for he skillfully eluded three of the enemy and fairly snatched himself from the grasp of Hop Meecham, who had made a gallant chase and who tackled just short of the five-yard line. New Falmouth added a point to that touchdown and subsequently dropped a goal from Alton’s twenty-eight yards. Alton’s own scores came as the result of a considerably better offense than she had shown heretofore. The backs worked well together and the line was charged hard and fast. Galvin shot through for Alton’s first score some six minutes after the kick-off and Nip Storer ran the visitor’s left wing for the second just before the half ended. Nip also kicked both goals. A third score almost resulted when, in the second quarter, the New Falmouth quarter fumbled a punt and Chick fell on it near the fifteen-yard line. Two attacks at the line, however, gained but four yards and Ted Ball’s heave to Chick grounded. On a kick formation Nip Storer threw straight across center, but Joe Tate was not in position and the ball went to the enemy. Alton impressed the spectators as at least thirty per cent better than New Falmouth, even if results didn’t prove it. There was still something lacking in Alton’s attack; perhaps several things; but the power appeared to be there. The left of the line was weak and New Falmouth romped through Meecham and Dozier several times. The latter, at tackle, was a comparatively easy problem for the opposing backs. The balance of the line showed well on defense, Lum Patten, at center, being an especially bright spot. Joe Tate and Chick Burton were both fast under punts and were generally on hand when the ball was caught. Chick, however, still showed uncertainty in the matter of tackling, and more than once an enemy wriggled away and made yardage after Chick reached him.
