The "hottest" basket ball game of the
season was played off here Saturday even
ing between Barton and Norwich Univer-
sity team. Barton was strengthened by
two st. Johnsbury men and easily whipped
the University team by score OF 90 to e.
While the two hired men on the Barton |
| team were the strongest men in the game
the Barton boys backed these two players |

| ing to watch than the score would indicate
| for there was ''balr' all the time.
