At Church street gymnasium last even
ing the Spaulding basketball quintet add
ed another victory to their list when they
won the basketball game against the
Peoples academy team OF Morrisyille by
score of 26 to 81 The game was clean
and fast enough to give the spectators
some good amusement. About $50 were
present and in the last period when the
score was close, the cheering was so loud
it was almost impossible to hear the
referees whistle. In the first period the
Morrisville team outplayed the high
school but in the last half the latter
came back strong and won the game.
The scoring was begun by the Morris
vile team when foul on Spaulding was
shot in by Morrill, The same man sue
ceeded in putting in one more before the
Spaulding team started their score. Car
roll was the first to start for his team,
shooting in clean one from the circle in
the center of the floor Levin. the left
forward for Spaulding, came along with
another but not until Morrill, had shot
in two more fouls and Bridge, the left
forward for the academy, had Gagged one

the lead, which they kept for the remain
der of the period. Each one Of the visit
ing players, with the exception OF Ward,
who was playing guard, got basket in
the first half, and Morrill, shot every one
OF the four fouls that were called on
Spaulding. Although Ward was unable
to score himself he held Levin, the man
who he was guarding, to single basket
during the whole game.
Sector, who played the first period
only, did creditable work while in the
game, playing the floor fast and making
some good passes. oliver, who was
guarding Bridge, the p. A. left forward,
broke even with his man in the first pc
Rod, each scoring once. At the end Of
the first period the p. A. team had double
the score of their opponents with score
of IL.
After their 10 minutes rest the two
teams again lined up and Tomasi was
sent in to take the place of Sector at
right forward. In the same way as the
first period, Morrill, was allowed to start
the scoring for p. A. by caging a foul.
Carroll, oliver and Hooker scored bas-
ket from the floor and Levin one from
a foul. Tins made total of l3 for their |
team. Badger was left alone by his bas- |
ket for a short time but long enough to |
get two lengthy passes from his team
mates which gave him a chance to score
twice. This left the score IL to Is with I
the large end of the score marked up to
the academy team. For some minutes
neither side scored.
Now both teams started in working

game. Spaulding proved to be the fast
est and while their opponents were scoi-
ing their last basket from the floor. they
Gagged the ball six times. Hooker started
the scoring again and twice in success
sion sent the ball through the net, tying
the score. With the score at tie, and
