CLOSE TUSSLE
BY OLD RIVALS
Goddard Scored Basketball
Victory Over Spaulding
in A VERY EXCITING GAME
Though Lighter and Less Experienced,
the High School Boys Kept Their
Opponents Covered So That
Baskets Were Scarce.
in A VERY EXCITING GAME

Goddard seminary defeated its close
rival on the basketball floor, Spaulding
high school, Is to Is, at the Church
street gymnasium last evening IN the
first game Of the season between the
two schools. The high school five,
lighter than their opponents and less
experienced in the game, put up plucky
eight and lost only by the small margin
Of three points. The rivalry between
these two schools IN basketball has been
intense for several years past, and last
year Spauding defeated Goddard and
won the championship; but this year the
high school has not the team in ex-
perienee and weight that it had last
year, while Goddard has fully as good
4 five as represented the school last sea-
son.

Of both schools and interested speeta-
tors present last evening. fully 300 peo-
Pile being crowded into the small spaces
reserved for them, and with three police
men OH hand to keep them in order.
AS hot as the rivalry between the two
leans was the rivalry between the sup
porters of the teams and cheers and
songs were hurled back and forth across
the hall continuously from the begin
ming to the end of the struggle.
No special mention can be made of
any single player on the high school
quintet, for each one played as if his
fife depended on it, and that they gave
their opponents their hands full is plain
