Enabled Seminary Team to
Defeat Peoples Acad-
envy, 80 to Ia
MANY FOULS CALLED
ON THE WINNERS
Visitors Played Better in
Second Half Than
in First

Saturday evening at the Church street
gymnasium the Goddard seminary bas-
ketball team defeated the Peoples acad-
envy team from Morrisville by a score of
30 to IA. In the first period the Goddard
team entirely outclassed their opponents
in both shooting and passing. Their
team worked together and the passing
they did completely bafiled the Norris
Vile five. In the first half OF the game
they secured 10 more points than the
Morrisyille team, but the last half was
more even, each side scoring 10 points.
Keefe, the Goddard left guard, had the
honor OF making the first point of the
game by caging the ball after few min
utes' play. Morrill,, the star foul shoot
err for the =. A. team, followed with n
basket from foul off Witt During the
rest of the period four more were called
on the Goddard team and out of these
Morrill, sent in three. This made to-
tai of four points for the p. a. team,
which was all the scoring done by them
the first period. At the beginning of the
period the visitors showed some fast
plays and succeeded in pulling off some
rather good passes; but when the sem
mary five commenced their fast passing
everything went their way with few
exceptions. These exceptions were when
for short time the p. A. boys pulled
away and got few chances to shoot
but they were forced TO do so from so
long distance that they were unable to
score.
Fiske, who played the center position
Saturday night, did his regular fast play
ing. making some fine dribbles and get
ting the total of three baskets in the
first half. His opponent, Bedell, was a
hard worker, but was unable to score. |
The p. A. team had such hard work |
breaking up the passes of the Goddard |
team, or at least trying TO break them
up, that scarcely any time was allotted |
to shooting.
keefe and Conner did the guard work |
for the seminary team and well IL was
done and, besides, some pretty dribbling /
was shown by them. The forwards, Witt 1
and Louden, played hard, but in some
cases too hard, as they were often foul |
ing, Witt making the larger number. In
the first period not single foul was
called on the Morrisvile team, as they
played an exceptionally clean game.
Morrill, and Bridge, the forwards for
p. A., played the best game for their
team in the first half, but we're allowed
TO try their skill only few times in
shooting. Ward the husky little guard
had a number of chances 10 show his
strength, which be did, and with the ball
in his hands no Goddard man was able to
take IL away. He also held Witt 10 one
basket. Fskc and Keefe were the high
scorers Of the first period, each getting
three baskets from the floor. At the end
Of this half the score stood 20 20 4.
After the rest, the Morrisyille team
came back strong and played much
faster game than in the early part.
Bridge led of with a basket. which was
soon followed by one from the hands OF
bedell But the lead in the first period
