Drury Academy OF North Adams, After
winning - out Of 10 Games, Lost 20
BrattIsboro v. VI. &. A. 1aslO.
The famous Drury academy basket ball
team of North Adams, up 10 wednesday
night winner of IL out of 10 games played
this season, was vanqushed at The hands
of the BrattleborO Y. NJ. G. 4. 'eaU by a
score of 1910 in the most hotly-cont sted
game ever played on the srmory f1or.
Both teams held the lead at different times
during the game, and throughout most Of
the second half the score was tiel. Brat
tleboro's victory was due chiefly TO her SUI
perior work in passing, though the home
teams slight advantage in bel ht MAJ
have had something TO do With the result.
The North Adams boys, although more
accurate in throwing baskets, we're pre-
vented from showing their skill In this line
10 any great degree by the excellent defen.
sive work Of their opponents. On several
occasions a Drury man on the point OF
scoring rould find the bal suddenly
whisked from his hands and rushed to the
other end of The hall before he knew what
had happened. This trick was also worked
on the home team to some extent. although
II proved less successful when executed by
the visitors.
II cannot be denied that Drury academy
plays fast basket ball for the work, taken
as a whole, equalled that Of any team
which has ever played here, with the ex-
cepuOn Of Yale university. BrattlebOfo's
advantages of being on her own floor and
having the crowd with her, coupled with
her superior passing and team Nork, were
too great, however, to be overcome.
Several minutes elapsed In the first half
before either side secured goal, but Al
len finally brought the crowd 90 its feet by
throwing a basket from a distance nearly
the width Of the hall. Drury made things
look different a few minutes afterward
when Wall aud O'Hara each scored goal,
but theft lead was of short duration. Howe
added one point to the score o. his team
by a goal from a free throw and lien and
Cundff brought the total up 10 seven
O'Hara maze pretty basket few sec
onds before time was called The second
half was even more holly played than the
first and until within few minutes of the
end Of the game the score was 1910. The
three winning points were made by Howe
and Cundlff, the former on a free throw
and the latter by goal from the field
II is hard to pick out any man on either
side as having played the star game for il
was team work and not individual playing
that predomlnated. Perhaps the work OF
Howe at centre was the most noticeable
on the Brattleboro side, and that Of O Hara
at guard the most deserving of credit among
the Drury men. But this statement does
not detract in any way from the brilliant
work Of the other eight. The lineup: d.
