In a finish which set the crowd howl
ing with delight Brattleboro Y NJ. c. A.

heretofore unbcaten here. on Wednes-
day night. The first half was all IIol-
yoke's way. and when the ten young
athletes trottcd Off the floor at the end
or 20 minutes playing with the score 9
To in favor of the visitors confidence
was at ebb and the feeling was general
that the school boy champions would
make their record three straight wins In
this half Holyoke played snappier and
win better judgment than the locals
me second half had hardly begun when
Whiting tossed another basket and the
standing was ll-5. March and Stolte
started the enthusiasm with basket
each, Whiting got a single tally on trial
from free throw, and for some time the
score hung 1873. This was the situation
only four minutes from the finish when
March unreeled another into the cage
ana the crowd let loose with cheers
Every man was now playing to the limit
ana the covering was so close that most
OF the tries for goals were on long throws
| Finally Stolte had an opening, and when
the ball slipped into the net and Brattle-
boro had the lead for the first time it
was a case of everybody yell. The lead
was 81 iidllpN, however, tnHt victory
was by no means certain. and nerves
were at high tension. Holyoke PLAYED
desperately, but Stolte duplicated his pre-
! rious performance and clinched the game
with the score 10 to 10.
In the first half Brattleboro seemed to
| nave hald luck in shooting and in the
second half the spell came over the other
fellows Both teams in the entire even
iugs play had many close calls for bas-
/ kctS
The playing WIS so speedy individually
and collectively. that there is no reason
| for particulariz!ng. While the basket
/ throwing was largely the work of Stolte
March and Whiting. the other players
were in the game every minute. Ferriter
and McCorkindale getting into many of
| the plays.
The Catholic Union sprang a surprise
in the local league game. The first half
ended 10 to against them. but in the
second half the Union lads went at their
| bigger opponents in lively style and won
out IA to 10 1t was unfortunate that the
last score bf the Union was made on
free try after a foul had been called when
there had been no fouling The referee
called the foul when the ball was not in
play and was being dribbled back to the
place where it belonged out of bounds
But for this mistake the score would have
been tie at the end of the regular period
of play.
