defeat before the Holdcrness team from
Plymouth, N. H., at basketball by u
score of 80 to IL. The Holderness team
was the heavier of the two and walked
away with an easy victory. About 25O
spectators were present, a large number
being from this city.
At the start OF the game the playing
was very fast but toward the last OF
the period both teams played much slow
en- Watkins, the Holderness left for
ward. was the star of the game, drop
ping in eight baskets from the floor, four
during each period, and many being from
difficult angles OF the floor. keefe, who
played against him. allowed him to get
away at many times but came around
often enough to stop many Of his, other
tries Conner, the other guard for God
dard played good game against Cal
nan, the Holderness captain, but Calnan
being an excellent shot in caging the
ball, dropped it in five times from the
floor and three out of seven fouls.
The New Hampshire team was the
first to score, Watkins dropping in the
ball after one pass from the time the
ball left the center. 1t was not until
Holderness had fair start that the
seminary lads scored a point. Once it
looked az if matters might be soon
evened up when Fiske, who played the
left forward position for Goddard, Gagged
the ball twice in quick succession, both
being from difficult angles. But this
sent Peirson, who was his guard, to
keeping close watch on him and so well /
did he do it that Fske was able to get |
only one more basket the first period. |
H. Laird, who was guarding r. Louden, I
did his work to such an advantage that |
Louden was unable to score basket |
from the floor, but in so doing, Laird |
himself was left without point to his |
credit Hub" Louden had "Jum" Laird, /
the former Montpelier high player, as an
opponent at center In the first period 4
they were about evenly matched, az
though "Jum" got two baskets to !
Hubs" one. Fiske did the best shoot
ing in this period for his team, getting
total of three baskets His floor work
in dribbling was also excellent.
In the second period, Watkins again
led off with a basket, which was followed

was sent into the game and II. Louden
was taken out Witt took the place of
4. Louden at right forward and Ted"
went in TO jump at center against "Jum"
Laird Although he could by no means
outjump him, "Ted" did sufficient guard
ing to keep Laird from again scoring

score Fiske, as in the FIRST period did
much dribbling, working the floor ex-
getting one basket this pc
Rod, as did his opponent, Peirson.
