Stowe 31-P. A. 10

The local basket ball team went up
against the last Stowe High School
team Friday evening at the local gym,
where the largest crowd of the season
witnessed P. AS first defeat. The game
as a whole was not particularly fast vet
it was good steady game. Stowe held
P. A. down to only two baskets from
the floor the first period, Bedeli, P. AS.
fast center making these, while Stowe
Gagged five, Shaw making two and Heath
three. Thus the period closed with a
score of 10 to in favor of Stowe.
P. A. played much better the secon nd
period, while Stowe played steady
game. Parker starred for P. A. this
period making five out of the seven bas.
kets Gagged. Straw starred for S. H. S.,
making four out of the seven baskets
made this period.
Seldom has there been such spirit shown
at game as was shown last Friday
night. the cheering an each side was re-
markable, showing only the best of feel
ing between the schools. p A. now has
a splendid set of yells and they were GER
tainly well used Friday night.
The game was featured by Shaws fine
foul shooting and the fine shots made by
Wheeler and Bridge. The attendance
was the largest for two years, about
S4S was taken in at the door. Surely
everyone will agree that P. A. can be as
good loser as victor.
