ing was administered to the tune OF

of the game played fast and snappy.
They shot baskets with accuracy and
used good judgment in passing.
The Goodwills showed form and
displayed playing material that Will
be valuable when 1t has been devel-
oped. In the last two games put up
by this team, 1t has been plainly evil
dent that considerably more practice
work is needed. The five showed
last night that it is there with weight
and activity, but It's exertions were
often misdfrected. On the other
hand, their opponents in the past two
contests have gained pointed by
using headwork.
Eahc individual member of the
Puritan team played his game last
night, but Canton and John Sullivan
deserve honorable mention, While
CANTON was no phenomenon at goal
making, his passing and general
playing was exceedingly good. John
Sullivan did score the most goals or
any player, but he, too deserves
credit for his brilliant playing as a
whole. Frank Sullivan,sa brother OF
John, featured in the second half by
making a backward overhead throw
that landed in the netted circle and
| scored a goal.
Both sides had crowds of rooters
on hand and the P%uritans' good
work was urged on by the large rep
r~esentation that constantly cheered
them. The game was held In CON
