Champions of the State.
Company Id has Won Championship
by SkiIIfuI PLAYING.

The third and deciding game for the
championship of the state was played
with Brattleboro, Friday evening, and
Company D won by the score of 26 to
IL. Each team had lost but two games
to state teams during the season and
were tied for first place as every other
state team had lost three or more games.
BY winning this game Company D has
closed its season with a good record and
the season has also been financial
success.
Brattleboro was strengthened for the
game BY Sears OF Hoyoke and with
Doran, their coach, made a strong, fast |
aggregation, and many here thought |
they would win, for before the game they |
threw baskets from every part of the
hall. When the game commenced things
were different, for Brattleboro did not
have any team work, their blocking was
poor, and they were covered so closely
that they could not get hall a chance to
shoot basket. The game was sDirited
from the start and Company D made the
hrst basket, then Brattleboro tied the
score. At once Company D began their
fast passing and had the Brdttleboro
team chasing them all around the hall
and at the close of the half the score
was IA to and the question was then,
by how large score will they be de.
feated. 1t was easily seen that Company +
u completely outclassed the Brattleboro :;
team, man for man, and that the visiting =
team were not fast enough for the locals.
The mighty Doran" was simply lost d
IN trying to keep Buckley from scoring, n
and this was the player who Brattleboro J..
depended upon 50 much. Sears OF Holy. -
oke was outIumped in the center every
time by Warren, who played his heavy sa
opponent to standstill. Carr played RI
the best game he has played this season, -,
and March, his opponent, could not "
score basket. Ellis was easily tile ID
best player for Bratteboro, but Nc. fire.
Govern made things interesting for him, tn
making four baskets while Ellis did not tn
connect once. Beck was a great help in ter
team work and was everywhere on the sol
moor at once He made two baskets bo
while Stafford made but ore. Sears and
Doran each made long shot and Gagged ha
the ball, and Beck also did the trick. the
ne last halt was a repetition of the bo
hrst, Company D excelling Brattleboro Law
at every point. The locals made II the
points this half and their opponents viz
mace but o. The game was attended ant
1y the largest audience of the season, ist
VINO enjoyed the game and cheered both pla
cams when good work was done. chi
