COMPANY D 50, SPRINGFIELD IS.

COMPANY D So, SPRINGFIELD Is.
Friday nights game with Springfield,
as would naturally be expected, resulted
in a good clean victory for Company D
by the comfortable score of 80 to IS.
Although at times the teams were going
at a terrific pace with the locals always
in the lead there were also times when
the game was tame. Good team work
stood out prominently in thecaus which
led up to the result. Matthews eye was
good and he led in the shooting, with
Doyle a close second and in the floor
work they played rings around their
opponents, Gion and Michigan. Hen
schel had lot ofsport with Lacasse and
outplayed him at every stage of the
game, although the Springfield forward
showed his usual gameness and finished
strong Holenbeck was the one weak
spot in the local line and although St.
Johnsburv's team work enabled him to
cage two baskets to Matthews one, the
visitor had something on the Catskill
acquisition the whole distance. Better
passing. blocking and floor work of the
whirlwind variety has probably never
been witnessed by St. Johnsbury audi
and Barraclough might just as we'll re-
NAMED at home for all he could ac-
complish against the flaxen haired guard
from New York

Spurred on by the well-organized cheer

bury Academy basket ball team to a
glorious victory over the Montpelier

The large score was rather a surprise
to those who realized the setbacks the
local team had been obliged to contend
with since their organization early in the
season, but the victory was we'll earned
and the good showing leads us to expect
great things of st. Johnsbury Academy
as the season progresses.
Robinson carried the house by storm
with his spectacular shooting and fast
floor work, and had six baskets from the
floor and seven from fouls to his credit.
Fiske got into the game some in the last
halt and divided honors with Robinson
and came in for his share of the applause.
Hill and Atkins were in the limelight
on the visiting lineup.
