Co. D met their first defeat OF the sea-
son Saturday evening when the Man
chester team of the New England league
played here. Manchester undoubtedly
has the fastest team in New England and
the excellent game that Co. D played is
very pleasing to their supporters. In
the first period Co. D scored Z points
while Manchester scored but 3, but as
Manchester had not played under
Spauldings rules the result was not sur
prising.
In the second period the game was fast
and furious, both teams getting in rapid
work and the fast dribblipg and sklltul
passing OF the Manchester team was a
revelation to the local enthusiasts. Co..
D play ed plucky game and made Man
chester work hard Tor every point. The

style that the professionals did, but they
kept the score down and demonstrated
they could play basket ball and that
they have one of the fastest if not the
fastest basket ball team in the state.
The crowd was thoroughly appreciative
OF good plays and wildly cheered Com
pany D when basket was thrown.
For Manchester Donnelly, Lynch and
Healey played the best game while all OF
Company D boys played their usual eX-
ceIlent game. Smith of Co. d did not
allow Reagan, the Manchester star,
to forward basket from the floor.
