MORRISVILLE BASKET BALL
p. A. 33-HARDWICK II

Following the game at Hardwick
week ago last Friday night when the
Hardwick basket ball tossers put it over
on the "speed boys" to the tune of IA to
2, the fans up at the "granite burg" en-
joyed whole week of pleasant dreams,
in which, according to items appearing
in several state papers, the championship
! was chief factor, but like the man who
| was handed check for million dollars
! the other day, they evoke up" The
| awakening was attended under very au-
spicious circumstances at the local "gym"
last Friday evening, before an enthusi-
astic crowd of about 400 people, 100 of
whom were loyal hearted supporters Of
the visitors, who came down on the mail
and returned on special train after The
game. The game started off with a iush
and after the first few minutes of play it
was evident even to the most enthusiastic
supporters of the visiting aggregation
that they were no match for the "sp"ed
boys" when the latter were all there aud
that reminds us that during the two
twenty minute periods following, the
aforesaid boys were all there aud little
more, too. Each man on the p. A. team
WAS at his best and although outweighed
man iol man they had the visitors on the
defensive at all points of the game. The
| Hardwick team is certainly fast bunch
and deserve all the support given them
| by the town but like other fast teams
could not withstand the whirlwipd style
of play and passing of ?. A.
Norton started the scoring for P. A.
with sensational long distance shot and
was followed shortly by others, most of
which were secured by good passing and
close range shooting. While the game was
rather one sided, Hardwick put up good
fight, which made the game fast and in
teresting throughout. Dom Weafer
exceled for p, A. and many of the local
ans are of the opinion that he gave the
best exhibition of the game ever seen in
the local gym" his shooting and drib-
bling bringing the crowd to its feet on sew
eral occasions. Thomas played fast
game at center while Analr was always
right there under the basket at the prop
er time. Norton and Boardman played
great guarding game, covering their men
50 we'll that about all of their basket
throwing was done before the game.
Foster of Hardwick refereed the game
in a manner satisfactory to 2. A., his
failure to observe the rules regarding |
the outside lines at each end of the hail |
doubtless being lack of knowledge Of
the same. Worthen officiated in his usual |
impartial manner, although his insisting |
that the rules of the game be strictly adj |
hered to occasioned kick from a few of |
the Hardwick fans.
Underwood, who is claimed by Hard |
wick to be lone of the best men playing |
center in this section" was not in it last |
Friday night and was outplayed by |
Thomas at every point. browne and
Marshall played the best game tor the |
visitors, displaying more knowledge of
The game than the rest of the bunch. The
lineup was as follows:-
