Spaulding High Defeated
Montpelier IS to IL
in FAST BASKET BALL
The Victory Was in Doubt Up to the
Very Last Moment of the Playing
IS. II. S. I'd Lost TO Mont-
pelier I'd.

The large number of basket bal fans
who went TO the Crescent gymnasium
last evening got the worth Of their mon
ley IN the two rafting contests which the
Spaulding and Montpelier high schools
played. The game between the first
teams opened with snap and was bas-
ket ball from the first whistle, finally
ending l3 to IL in favor Of Spaulding.
The second game went to Montpelier
IN the first period the teams seemed
lqnite evenly matched, with each side
covering its men in creditable man
tner. During this period only one bas-
ket was thrown from the field by each
team and two from fouls by each team
Averin threw the basket for SpauIding,
as we'll as both fouls, and Reed the has
ket for Montpelier The contest cot 50
exciting that the referee warned the
crowd about what he considered trough
house" talk and said that he would
forfeit the game If it continued.
The last half was undoubtedly the
fastest period Of basket ball even seen
in the local gymnasium and both teams
exeFted themselves to theif utmost III
an endeayor to keep their opponents
from scoring, while they rolled up the
tally. In the last period Montpelier
brought her score up to f2 by sem
sational long throw for basket by Reed
and by the steady consistent work of
Iheriault. During this period Bell was
successful in throwing two baskets for
Spaulding from the field, Worthen threw
one, and this with the baskets from
fouls brought the total score up to Is
to l2 in favor of Spaulding.
