to 9.

The Spaulding high girls basket ball
team evened their defeat OF few weeks

senting the Montpelier high school by a
II TO 0 score, at the Church street gym
nasium last evening The game was one
OF the best exhibitions Of basket ball
played by girls in the city this season
and the local team fully merited its
victory, outPlaying the Montpelier team
throughout nearly the whole game.
The team work Of the Spaulding repre-
sentatiyes was excellent and of especial
merit was the work of the forwards.
Misses Campbell and Bradford. The
game was not fast at the start and for
the first few minutes it appeared that
IL was to be a case of making most OF
the scores from free throws awarded
from fouls Neither team scored during
the first few minutes and then Miss Lo
throp registered one point from free
throw After several more trials, Miss
Lothrop registered again from foul
and Miss Campbell alse scored point
for Spauldng.
A pretty pass enabled Miss Pufer to
get within range Of the basket and she
shot goal, making the score four 10
one in favor OF Montpelier. The ball
was passed from one end Of the hall TO
the other several times, but efIectual
work on the part OF the guards kept
the teams from scoring before the halt
time whistle sounded.
The second half started faster and the
teams were cbeered heartily by represen.
tatives of the schools Miss Bradford /
scored pretty goal in the first few min
utes OF play. and this was followed by
point from a foul by Miss Lothrop.
Miss Hoar then gained one for her
team from foul and this was followed I
by lucky shot by Miss Campbell, who I
Gagged a neat goal with a one.handed |
throw putting Spaulding in the lead |
with the score six TO five. Miss Bradford1
soon scored another goal from the floor,
strengthening the lead
During most of this time, the ball did I
not yet beyond the center lines owing
to the effective work Of Miss Wells, but I
when it did Miss WheeIock was awaiting
the opportunity and scored two goals in
rapid succession, putting the Montpelier
team once more in the lead
The Spaulding girls then seemed to
redouhle their efforts and the ball was
kept within shooting distance Of the goat
during the remainder of the game. al
though they had the ball, tho Spauding
girls were not able to score for several
minutes and II looked like a victory for
Montpelier until Miss Bradford scored,
putting Spauiding again in the lead
