The Visitors Never Were in the Game

Start--Two Regular Men Were
Out Of the Game.

The unbeaten Goddard seminary bas-
ket ball team won its eleventh straight
victory Saturday evening by putting It
all over the high school Of Burlington,
to the tune Of 40 to 8. The game was
played in the Church street gymnasium
in the presence Of a fair-sized crowd,
among whom were half dozen Burling-
ton rooters who had chance to yell
once, when tho team first came onto the
floor.
Spaulding made the first basket for
Goddard in the first minute Of play and
from then on the locals made baskets
thick and fast while Burlington was
able to make Git one basket from the
floor during the game. Goddard's play
ing was the fastest and cleanest that
they have put up here this winter, and
in the last period their brilliant passing
and team work kept the visitors from
getting their hands on the bah except
for very few times,
Bullock shot Burlington's basket from
the floor in the second period and Burke
made two baskets from fouls in the
lrst period and one each in the last
two periods. Buck and Spauldimg did
great work az basket throwing, making
seven and eight baskets respectively.
while Heath sud Berry also shot well,
Heath getting Eve and Berry four Two
Of Goddari's regular players, Heidle and
