TRIP BY ACADEMY TEAMS
First Team Beaten and Second Team
A Winner at Montpelier and
RarrQ

lier trip, taken by st. J. A. last
week Friday and Saturday, but the
hard part of it is that both defeats
were chalked up against the first
team.
At Barre Friday night, they were
stacked up against Spaulding high
and the score 81 to 80 in favor of
the Barre five, precludes any pos
sibility of a fuke. 1t was fast team
work and the accurate shooting by
Hooker, Oliver and Nichols that
turned the trick and st. ]. A. isn't
| trying to prove an alibi. According
to reports of the game, the ST. J. A.
gave Spaulding a hard fight for a
few minutes but quickly succumbed
after the Barre five got into their
stride.
The second teams put up game
fight, the final score being 1S to IL
| in favor of St. J. A. Scott
played a star game scoring three for
the floor and one from a foul, besides
mixing in the general play.

The Montpelier Games.
At Montpelier Saturday night, the
trick was repeated by Montpelier
high, but it was altogether differ
ent story. The capital city was
forced to it's utmost and without
doubt had st. J. A. taken brace
in the opening minutes, instead OF
toward the last, things would have
been different. At the end of the
first half Montpelier led Is to 10
and following the whistle announc-
ing the opening the last half, Gag
ed two more right off the reel.
Here is where the St. J. A. quintet
showed it's mettle. By clever pass
ing team work and accurate shoot
ing by Salman, Witty and Massey,
they ran the score up until the final
whistle left the narrow margin of
three points in favor of Montpelier.
A good showing, one would judge, |
after the grueling experience of the
night before, at Barre.
Again the second team came to |
the rescue and saved st. j. A. a shut |
out by hammering out s. to 10 vic
tory over Montpelier high seconds.
