st. Johnsbury Academy secured good
hold on the school championship of the
state Friday evening by defeating the Ed
munds high school of Burlington who
have held the championship for two
years. The game started with rush,
Edmunds securing point ON foul by
st. !. A., and then the latter threw bas-
ket and the score was running even
throughout the first half, but ended ~ to
II in favor Of the visitors. ST. J. A.
clearly out-payed the visitors in the first
half, making five goals from the floor
while their opponents made but two,
but Collins for Edmuuds threw eight
goals out OF nine fouls called by the
Edmunds referee. In the last half St. 7.
A. had the visitors at their mercy, max
ing six baskets from the floor and six
points on fouls, while Eomunds made
three baskets and six points on fouls. A
total Of 20 fouls were called on st. 7. A.,
and from this number Collins threw ID
goals. 10 fact it seemed as ii the only
way Edmunds could make point was
to have the referee call foul and Collins
throw basket on the foul. Consider
able dissatisfaction was found by the
audience on account OF the relertelng OF
Van Cor for Edmunds and they were
right in a number of their object ons.

The Fairbanks office team had revenge
upon the Y M. c. A. Team Saturday
evening tor the defeat administered a
short time ago, for they won this game
by score OF % to II. The game was
close Throughout, the team work of the
Y. M. {. A. being exceptionally good,
but the Fairbanks team played by spurts
with B iley and Perry doing good work.
The most important game of the
season to date comes Friday evening
when the Bellows Falls athletic club
play Company D. This team is aspiring
to the state cham piOnship and this year
they have the fastest team theyever had
and have been winning their games by
large scores. The most critical will find
plenty OF excitement when the two teams
come together.

Basket Ball.


Another Victory for Company I'D.
Friday basket ball team came from
Hanover, with the idea that Company D
would be venquished that evening by a
large score. The result of the game tells
the story-Company D 20, Hanover 10.
But the score does not tell about the last
period of the game when Company D did
not try to cage the ball, but passed the
ball around to each other. The Hanover
boys acted like school children as they
charged in bunch at man with the
ball only to discover that when they
arrived where the man was the ball was
somewhere else. This was kept up for
FIVE minutes with the Hanover team like
angry bulls trying to break up the su-
perb passing and finally Nichols was
ruled off the floor for rough playing. For
the first five minutes OF the game the au.
dience thought they were to see first
class game but as soon as Company D
began to cage the ball and caper around
the visiting team it was all over but
the shouting. The period ended with
the score IL to 1. The second pc.
rod was a repetition Of the first and the
score at the end was % to 9.
