Game, 80 to q
IN CONTEST FULL
OF FOULING TACTICS
School Team Showed More
Strength Than Was
Expected

Because of the low rating of the mer-
curry last evening but a mere handful
OF spectators gathered in the old Church
street gymnasium to witness the initial
appearance OF the Shamrock and the
Goddard seminary guintets and were al
forded an exhibition that could be
classed otherwise than as a love feast,
the Shamrocks winning by the score OF
30 to 2l. The red and white quintet
proved to be the big sensation and they
have an aggregation that may possibly
rehab ilitate Goddard to its classification
of wears ago. The Goddard team ruled
poor fayorites, but with the announce
ment that but five minutes remained
to play the seminary team was but three
points behind and was fighting for the
lead. The general impression at this
stage was that the seminarites would
eventually win out However, Carroll
placed the game in safety by scoring
a goal from the foul and a goal from
the field in quick succession towards
the latter part of the contest.
One noticeable feature OF the game
was the frequency of fouls. The Sham.
rocks fouled at least on 20 occasions
and the Goddard team was penalized on
about 10 occasions. The numerous fouls
on the Shamrock team were attributed
to Coach" Grady, who has neglected
to refresh his memory on the playing
code. Fifteen of the fouls were account
ed for by his violation of the rules.
When the game was called but few
seconds elapsed before Grady tossed an
easy basket on difficult pass from
Carroll. From then until the close OF
the half the Erinites romped away with
the Goddard crew. In the last period
the splendid physical condition of the
hill team nearly proved the undoing OF
the local semi professional five. The
work of Lameri and Captain Tierney
during this period resulted in most of
the scores. AT times during the last
part of the game. when Goddard's team
work was III evidence, basket shooters
were not in sight 10 cinch the contest.
Two types of play entered into the
contest, the individual play and the CO.
operative playing. The Shamrocks' play
was predominated by the spirit of in

center, once more demonstrated his SUI
periority ON the court with his indiyid-
nal work. His dribbling was spectacu-
lar and his floor work superb. As last
season, the entire Shamrock team is
constructed around Carroll. "Bill'' Stu
arts indefatigabc work brought forth
rounds of applause and his credit for
the victory was on a par with Cap
tain Manager Carroll Bartlett, recruit
from Montpelier, proved bulwark of
strength in the bhckfield and lent
general hand in tie scoring.
The seminary aggregation present
new lineup. From last seasons team
but Tierney and Witt remain. Cosby,
of unknown quantity, has been recruit
ed from the ranks of the second team
and promises to be one of the strongest
pivot men aver representing Goddard.
Lameri, the former Hardwick academy
lad, is a versatile player. Keefe the
Cabot high athlete, will undoubtedly de-
velop as the year progresses and viii
receive recognition similar to that he has
from football and baseball. The sum
