Browns Entry into Game
Was Source of Marked
Support

The st. ,Iohnsbury academy quintet,
locally of unknown strength, were ush-
cred into the Church street gymnasium
last night and threw CONSERVATION into
the Spauldng camp during the first ses-
sion, when they assumed full sway over
the contest and it was not until well
into the last half that the Spaulding
court rangers finally overcome big lead
and turned defeat into % to IA vic
tory for the Red and Blue. The game
was witnessed by large gallery of spec
tators and proved to be one of the most
interesting affairs that has been seen in
local school circles for years.
The Caledonia county lads presented
personnel of players whose ability
could not be questioned and who should
be powerful factors to be reckoned with
before the award of the state cham
pionship title can be effected. Fresh
from most suspicious season in the
eastern section Of the state the st.
Johnsburv lads furnished a brand Of
basketball Spaulding found difficult to
fathom and converted the game into
one of the merriest little contests. The
Spaulding five entered the initial period
minus the services of Melt" Brown, the
star center, and were soon found taking
the small end of the argument The
visitors piled UP lead of to 0 before
Brown found his position. His presence
then lent great stimulus to the local
team and during the remainder of the
period they cut down the lead consid
erably. When the period ended st.
Johnsbury was leading by the score of
13 to 0.
The opening moments of the second
half were Of quiet nature, but during
the middle of the period Spaulding's
scoring artillery was set in action apd
the score was eyened up. The st. Johns
bury quintet seemed to weaken under
the strain of the Spaulding attack, al
though they fought bitterly until the
final whistle was sounded. The best
playing of the evening was contributed
by Brown of Spaulding and Fiske of the
visitors, brother to the former Goddard
star. Brown was covered all during his
stay in the game, but by spectacular
work registered four field goals.
The floor work of Fiske was revela-
ton to the spectators. He moved his

attack and at times his superb playing
