Juniors Defeated by Milton

In its first game of the season, yesterday afternoon, the Junior eleven was defeated by Milton Academy by the score of 6 to 0. The Junior eleven showed good team play, considering the short time it has been practicing, but it could not gain through Milton's line, and was too slow to make long end runs possible. Evarts made the only substantial gain for the Juniors, running a punt back 45 yards. The Milton team, although largely composed of second-team men, played a hard game, but was not able to gain consistently on account of fumbling. It made its best gains by well-executed forward passes from R. Wigglesworth to Pratt. Milton's goal was threatened only once, after Evart's long run in the first half. In the second half, Milton scored by two long forward passes, Pratt making the touchdown. R. Wigglesworth kicked the goal. When time was called, Milton was again on the Juniors' 5-yard line. The teams lined up as follows:   1909.  MILTON. Dana, l.e.  r.e., White, Houston Page, l.t.  r.t., Martin Ford, l.g.  r.g., Felton Ware, c.  c., F. Wigglesworth Weeks, r.g.  l.g., Blake Murphy, r.t.  l.t., Tryon E. P. Field, r.e.  l.e., Holbrook, Pratt Evarts, q.b.  q.b. R.
