 Canaan 20, Millerton 5
 The Millerton basket ball team came to Canaan last week Wednesday even- ing and met defeat, the score being 22 to 5. This was the third game between the teams, each having won one. The teams were composed of practically the same players in each of the three con- tests. In this final game of the series the Canaan boys played remarkable basket ball, much better than in any of the previous games, and the Millerton
 
 outclassed. The Millertonites are gentle manly players and, as we have before, remarked, are the sort of adversaries the Canaan boys like to meet.
