Excitement by the Close
Score in First Period

The strong Hardwick academy team
seemed to be no match for the Spaulding
basketball quintet last evening, for the
latter won the game by score OF 80 to
"a at the Church street gymnasium. The
attendance was very good filling the
benches, and numbering in the vicinity
of 300. The game was fast and in the
early stages the score kept close, giving
the spectators chance for excitement.
Fouls were called very frequently, ~ be-
ing the total, Spaulding making Is and
Hardwick making the lower total Of H..
At the start the players did not play
nearly as fast ais in the latter part and
some minutes had elapsed before either
side scored. The first point was made by
Hardwick from a foul. In this half, OUT
of the 10 chances, Constantine scored
half of them. Seven were called on
Hardwick, but none of the foul shooters
for the higher school were able to make
them good. In this period Oliver played
IN excellent guard game, as well as get
ting three of the five baskets. Tomasi
and Carroll shared honors for the other
two, each getting one. Sylvester, the
in the first half, dropping the ball in
three times. Among the spectacular
shots in this stage of the game was one
by Carroll and one by oliver Carroll
was covered by man and shooting the
ball over his head a clean basket was
made. The one by oliver was made
from about the center of the floor and
brought good cheer. With the period
at an end, the score stood II to 10 with
the visitors in the lead
After l0-minute recess the same
players again lined up. In the first of
the second the score kept close but after
little play the Spaulding lads got their
passing to working and soon left their
opponents in the rear in the scoring.
Many times. after the Spaulding team
got their passing to working they went
the length of the floor and shot in |
basket. The work of "Peanut" Carroll in |
this period was very good. His weight |
was very much of help to his team
and his man was also held down to one |
basket. Peanut" himself did some star
shooting this period, getting five baskets
Hooker, who failed to score in the first |
part of the game, came back rather
strongly, doing some fine floor work and |
in five baskets.
Cordella, who was doing the guard
work against Hooker did not seem able
to stop the fast plays that he continual
ly made. Levin, who played the left for
ward position, played more Of guard
game than forward, breaking many of /
the Hardwick combinations. Norcross,
the opponent of Levin. emerged from the
game without a point to his credit, as
did Cordella, the other guard. The play
ing of Constantine and Lewis, the for.
wards for Hardwiek, was the best for
their team, although Sylvester was not
far in the background. Tomasi, at right
guard, did not do as much floor work in
the first part of the game as is his wont,
but toward the end be came in for
whirlwind finish.
With spaulding at a good lead Coach
Agnew sent ia a completely fresh team
N the latter part of the game. Sylves-
ter, the Hardwick center, received in
puies when only few minutes were left
% play and time was called out for five {
minutes. In the intermission, the coach
