BASKET BALL.
Company D wins by one Point.

Company D opened the season at
Barre last Thursday evening with a
victory, but it was so close that the Wis
iting team only won by one point, and
that one awarded on foul The visi-
tors excelled in passing and covering
their opponents and Miller led in the
number of goals secured The game was
witnessed by large and enthusiastic
audience and the final score was 25 to
"a. Following is the line up:

were short two of their best players and
were easily defeated by the score of 10 to
A. Of the game the Montpelier Argus
says:
1T was apparent from the first with
the Co. H team, weakened as it was,
that they would be defeated The st.
Johnsbury team has all the appearances
of a professional team and they put up
a professional game last evening. At
passing, dribbling, throwing of baskets,
defensive and offensive work they were
well trained and made but few, if any
fumbles. Quick on foot and ever watch
full of their surroundings they knew
where to put the ball.
The leather was kept within their own
territory much of the time and but little
of the time did Co. H have the ball
within shooting distance of their goal
When they were able to get the ball in
sight of the basket some good attempts
were made to score but the ball went
wide of the mark. To say the least,
however, the home team put up good
game and held the fast St. Johnsbury
team from piling up higher score.
Miller, of the visiting team, surpassed
all records for throwing baskets from
the field and he put the ball in ~ times
for "a points,
