Special to The Spy.
Mllbury, Nov 9.-The basketball game
at Town Hall tonight was hot one from
start to finish. The Emmett Guards, or
rather the Father Mathews, as three of
their players were on the team, were de-
feated % to 16. Before the game and be-
tween the halves the Millbury Juniors
defeated the Sherwoods of Worcester q
to l.
Tom Wiseman of the home team was
the stellar light of the evening. He had
bat" Sullivan against him, and out
played him in every department of the
game. Tom scored four baskets from the
field and went around like a race horse.
Burt against Cullen scored three baskets
while Joe got four. Noonan and Paine
had hot tussle, with Noonan one basket
to the good. Paine did good work and
scored his first basket from the field in
two years. Quinn and Koran fought it
out, each scoring. Koran, however, did
the better work. Horne had picnic with
Mcclure, and played him to a standstil.
The $50 people yelled themselves hoarse
over the good plays, and groaned at the
fumbling, which was of character that
ought not be seen among fast players.
The game opened fast, and fouls were
called on Horne and Quinn in short order.
Horne missed and Quinn scored, and the
Emmets were in the lead. Quinn scored
a beauty from the floor, and the visitors
were three to the good, and the home
players were glum. Quinn fouled and
Horne scored the first point for Millbury.
Fast playing, with good passing, fol-
lowed. Wiseman scored a pretty basket,
and the crowd went wild with the score a
tie. The home team was never headed
after that. Rough playing was INDUCED

heap at one time Paine fouled and Quinn
missed. Wiseman scored again from the
field. Burt followed with another, jump
ing the score to 7 to 8. Horne kept up the
good work making it to g. Cullen scored
after a series of pretty passes, adding two
points to the Emmets' score. Sullivan
fouled and Horne missed Wiseman again
came back with beauty from the floor
and dropped another in minute making
the score 10 to 5.

try. Cullen scored from the floor, and the
first half ended 10 to in favor of Mill
bury.
The second half opened with all playing
like whirlwinds. Burt scored in a minute,

and Millbury had a lead Of 10 points
Paine fouled and Quinn added a single

threw goal over his head, and the score
was going the other way. Paine fouled
and Quinn missed. Noonan scored again,
bringing up the score to Millbury 49, EN-
NETS a. Koran scored being urged on by
