Nv the narrow margin OF one point
uolyoke High school defeated Brat
tIeboro last Friday evening In a game
witnessed by the largest crowd OF the
season. Festival HAN was packed with
Rrattleboro supporters who hoped 10
see the redoubtable paper city school
boys bite the dust before the local y NJ
@. A, stars, but the contest proved TO
he n case OF almost but not quite.
The home team clearly outplayed the
visitors In the second half but us copy
work in the first period gave the au-
vantage TO the Holyoke lads VINO ihauo
the most of II. The Holyoke team
is the only one that has defeated Brat
tleboro on the local floor ana lts We
tory Friday evening was the second
having beaten the local team last sea-
son.
No players have ever appeared here
who possess the accuracy in goal
throwing of the Holyoke boys They
seem TO be able to find the basket from
nearly any part OF the hail, ana the
speed with which they get the pail
away Is truly remarkable, Their pas
sing also is wonderful for its speed
and accuracy while their blocking IN
phenomenal in its effectiveness IRE
ouently Brattleboro would Keep the
ball away from its opponents FOR sew
eral seconds at time, but as soon az
the leather began TO move IN the III
rection of the basket il would be snap
ned mn by a Holyoke man and whisked
TO the other end of the hall. Brattle-
boro was fairly beaten despite the
closeness of the score, and the VISITORS
are entitled to all the credit in bring
ing about the result Their style OF
NAV differed slightly from that used
here last season and the sensauonai
shots of McCorkindale, Holyoke's CEN
ter of last year, We're lacking, out
there is no doubt that the natlonai IN
terscholastic champions and the anna
teur champions of New England are
lust as formidable as ever.
Whiting started the scoring IN the
first half by a neat goal whlch was
followed by an electrifying one hand
shot from r. Snow and a well Gagged
basket by Wiley, making the score
60 in favor of the visitors. Ellis
then won applause by scoring Brat
tleboro's first points, and Howe addeu
another on a free try March was the
only other Brattleboro player to score
in this half, although for Holyoke,
Wilson and Cornell each made one
goal and Wiley converted free try
into one point, leaving the score when
the whistle blew II IS against Brattle-
boro. The second half was much more
exciting and the Y. NJ. c. A. players
acted like a different lot of men March
and Stolte got goal apiece, bringing
the score up to t1-9; then Wiley ana
Whiting tailed, and soon alter"a a,,a
another free try by Howe made the
standing Holyoke 10, Bratleboro 10.
The remainder of the game was des-
perate but unsuccessful attempt on the
mart OF the home team 10 get ahead.
Stolte brought Brattleboros score 10
IA hut Wiley jumped Holyoke to II
points; March scored again, putting
the home team within one of the visit
ors where it remained until the maj
whistle blew.
THE individual work of the players
needs little comment. In wilson the
veteran Howe found more than ms
match. which is testimonial enough LOT
the former. Stolte and March had
tbeir hands fun in taking care of
wiley and Whiting while Ellis ana
stafford had to keep on the move all
the time to get out of reach of Corn
nell and Snow Capt. Ferriter took
Ellis's place during the last few min
utes of play.
THE gvmns won the local contest
from Company / by score or 1917,
although handicapped by the loss OF
Riley, the fastest guard who mas play
ed on the former five. Clune, Trendall
and Langille were put out OF the game
for using their fists. and a portion OF
the second half was played with TOUR
men on a side. The summaries:
