Late last night despatch from st.
Johnsbury notified the management of

that st. Johnsbury academy wished to

cept the proposal and an effort will be
made to schedule another team for the

inflicted an overwhelming de-
feat over the academy at st. Johnsbury.

urday's contest to put the men in condi-
tion for two gruelling games to come,

high school and a possible
third with Montpelier high school,
