! ing high school and Goddard seminary
FLASHED at the Church street gymnasium
last evening for the first time in two
years, Spaulding emerging from the
game winner by a score of SO to IL,
after a sensational final session. Spauld-
ing thus triumphed over the hill school
for the second time since athletics were
instituted at the Spaalding school, the
last time spaulding aggregation won
being in 1910.
The game last night was trimming
with exciting features furnished by both
quintets, and sentiment through the
bleachers ran at high pitch through
out. The spectacular squirt by the wear
ers of the Spaulding colors in the clos
ing period was nothing short of sensa-
tional and this whirlwind finish was
one that will leave an indelible impress
sion on the spectators. The first half
closed l. to in favor of Goddard.
After being clearly outclassed during
this interval the Spaulding players took
new lease of life at intermission and
when the second half started the fight
ing spirit OF Spaulding was evinced. 1t
was not until this period was well I'M
der way that Spaulding drew up on
even terms with Goddard and the Spauld-
ing lads Immediately cut loose their
rapid firing artillery.
During the last ten minutes OF the
game the seminary goal was a target
for the accurate aims of the Spauldng
point -getters. The high school outfit
looped sixteen baskets from the floor in
this final session, in addition TO two
fouls. While Spaulding was enjoying
itself contracting this high score, the
seminary Eve were frantically strug
Cling to get a channel through which |
scoring might be made. The attack of
Spaulding, Goddard was unable to with |
stand, getting but a lone point in this
session.
Both the spaulding and Goddard play
,rs showed the result of long practice |
md preparation for this battle and last
evening were primed for the fray. The
of both organizations reached
point near perfection. Ii has been
long time since the two schools dis

basketball playing. Harry Levin, the
lusky forward OF the Spaulding team, Il

Every available seat in the Church
rect auditorium was taxed last night,
IT the absence of the throngs that
rmerly attended these games was no :
ceable. When the hall was roped of
