Final Score was s5 to 10, the Home
Team Showing Superiority in Near
ly Every Department Of the
Game.

The Spaulding high school basket ball
team defeated the five from the Ran
dolph high school in a fast and fairly
interesting game at the Church street
gymnasium last evening. AT the start
the teams appeared to be quite evenly
matched, but Randolph seemed unable to
make good against the superior quick
ness, passing and basket throwing abiI.
ity of Spaulding; the first period ending
in score of 10 to in favor Of Spauld-
ing. In the second period Randolph for
q few minutes rallied and appeared about
to make the game more interesting, but
Spaulding proved too strong for them
and rolled up score of So to 10 in
their favor at the finish
The game which was fairly clean and
interesting from the start, was some
what marred from the spectators point
Of view by too numerous fouls and too
many ineomplimentary sounds which
seemed to come from some of the Young
men who appeared to have Spaulding's
interest 10 much at heart that they were
unable to nse their opponents well when
they scored OF attempted to score.
