TOWN SHEND.
Basket Ball at Leland and Gray
Seminary.


Seminary.
V. A. Beaten at her own game. Town
shend Feb. 2ith.
In order that there may be no misun-
Outstanding about the basket ball game
played at Townshend, Feb. 2lst between
V. A. and Leland q Gray Seminary, l
take this opportunity to make an Off
cial report. V. A. started the game with
their substitute acting as umpire, which
is of course contrary to the rules of the
game but was allowed by i. & G., in
order that the game could be started.
The play was rough from the start on
the part of V. A. and their players
resorted to smuggling whenever occasion
presented itself; they were warned by
the officials but without effect.
The first half ended with a score of
4-3 in favor of the Seminary boys. In
the second half V. A. scored one goal
and two fouls, and the Seminary boys
scored one foul, but before the half was
many minutes old one of the " A. play
ers was caught deliberately smuggling one
OF the Seminary boys, he was promptly
disqualified and sent to the bench.
Now the V. a. captain wished to play
his umpire and have the disqualified
player act as umpire, but this was not
allowed by the official of the game and
v a. falling to present her team for
play within the limited time allowed by
the rules of the game, they thereby for
feited the game to the Seminary boys,
by a score of 20.
This was officially announced by the
referee, and remains the final decision.
