SHARP RIVALRY
WAS SHOWN
Goddard Emerged a 30 to 16
Winner over Hardwick
Academy
300 EXCITED PEOPLE
SAW THE CONTEST
AS the Game Progressed, 1t
Became More Like
Football

At the Church street gymnasium last
night the Goddard quintet won the game
OF basketball against the Hardwick
academy team by score OF 80 to IT,
Both teams felt considerably rivalry and
as the game progressed it grew strong
or until near the end, when in many re-
spects it resembled a football match.
Both teams played hard and fast
throughout the game, The crowd which
numbered near 800 was one of the most
excited that has been in the gym this
year. As number of spectators from
Hardwiek were present, there was no
lull in the cheering, as when Hardwick
was playing the best game the visitors
voices made almost as much noise as
when Goddard rooters had the stand
At the outset both teams showed that
they were out to win the game. For the
first few minutes neither side scored
and the interest became great to know
who would start. Fiske, the Goddard
center, was the one who did, and it was
q clean shot he Gagged after series Of
pretty passes. The Goddard team proved
themselves the stronger in this period al
though the Hardwick five were not far
in the background As the game was
considerably rough, the team with the
most bodily strength was sure to get
the best of their opponents. Goddard
had this with the team as a whole, but
if each of the visiting team had as much
as Cordella the two teams would have
been more evenly matched.
Conner, Witt and Fiske shared the
honors of scoring from the floor in the
iirst period, each sending the ball
through the net twice. These were the |
only baskets from the floor on their side
but Connor and Fiske each got a point |
from shooting fouls Rske had poor
luck in shooting fouls, missing five ont |
of six. But to make up for the loss |
in foul shooting he played enough bet
ter on the floor His drbbles were ex-
cellent and some fine passes were made I
by him. Connor and Witt were close
seconds in floor work as they went /
around with wbirlwind speed. Keefe did
extra good work at guarding, holding /
Constantine from scoring besides break
ing many combimn tions. r. Louden I
played more of a guard game in the
first half than a forward, although that
was ahis position. His opponent was
Norcross who did not score but was fast
on his feet.
Sylvester for the visitors was their
fastest player in the first half. He fol-
owed the ball well and Gagged il twice
during the first 20 minutes He was
The only man 10 score from the floor for
ais team in this half. Constantine did
rot show much skill in shooting baskets
rom fouls as he only Gagged two out
# eight in the first half. That left the
academy a score of six against Goddards I
