Basket Ball.

Those who were not satisfied with the
result with the FIRST Norwich game are
satisfied now, for Company D has hown
that they can defeat Norwich wheu they
play half a game. The game opened
rough from the first blow of the whistle
and continued throughout the entire
game both teams doing about equal
work in that direction. 1t was probably
the toughest game seen here this winter
and many OF the plays that bordered on
rough house playing were entirely uncall-
ed Tor. Considerable dissatisfaction was
found in the refereeiug OF hampton, and
at one time it seemed as il be was doing
his best to give Norwich the game. Even
il that were so, there was no call TOR
so much hootipg. hampton actually
robbed Company D by allowing a goal
by Norwich to be counted 80 seconds
after be had blown his whistle Tor play
to cease. The game opened with bas-
ket by McGovern and the period closed
with the score 4 to ] in favor OF the home
team. Nothing unusual happened In
this period except that Norwich played
guarding game entirely and did not try
to pass the ball. In the second period
Company made i points and Norwich
s, with the same style of PLAYING, end
thescore at the finish was rs to 10.

Nearly all of the members oithe present
teams have played togethG the past
three seasons. Though theplayers are
small in size they make up tie deficiency
in agility. One reason for the marked
success of the team is the tat that they
have been we'll supported il their home
town, thus making it possible to secure
the best teams and some frem distance.
The team has also had the advantage OF
good officials. for John A. CHM has either
acted as referee or umpire for nearly
every game since the organization, and
there are few men who batter understand
the game and who can so impartially
decide the points OF game.

A Slate LanRme.

Considering the interest and support
that has been given the various basket
ball teams IN the state why not form
state basket ball league? We believe that
such league, with a schedule of four
games with each team, would benefit the
sport in this state. The team having the
largest percentage of games won at the
close OF the season should be declared
the state champion. This would be
much more satisfactory than the way
the championship is now won. Such
league could easily be formed with these
teams: Brattleboro, Bellows Falls A. c.,
University OF Vermont, Norwich Univer
slty, Barre Y. M. c. A., Company H Of
Montpelier and Company D. The time
to start this is to commence now and be
ready for the opening of the season next
fall.
Brattleboro received set back in the
state championship series Thursday
when Bellows Falls A. c., heretofore
considered out OF the race, defeated them

The Bellows Falls Times has the follow

to this championship-namely, Com
pany d, and the local A. c. Brattleboro
is all right on her own floor, but meets
defeat nearly every time she goes away.
Good support is one thing and swell
headedness is another"
Friday evening the best team which
can be got together in Hanover will play
Company D. This is the same team that
defeated the local team a short time ago
by the score of "a to 20. Many think
that the home team can defeat this team
and as the Hanover team are playing
fast ball the contest will surely be inter
esting,
Saturday evening the St. Johnsbury
team defeated the Fairbanks office team
by the score of &c to "a.
Friday the St. J. A, team expects to &c
to Burlington to play the deciding game
in the interscholastic series for the stat,

game and this game will played in tn,
College gym, which is considered neu

The third and deciding game OF thu
state championship series between Com

here March 81. Both teams will play
their best as the entire claim fo
