 The score 49 to Is, with Putnam on the winning end, tells the story of the Putnam w Woodstock game played last Friday at the Academy. While the Putnam five was the heavier the local boys outplayed their opponents and their team work and passing kept the ball in Putnam's hands fully three fCurths of the time. The school root CTS are elated at the showing of the team and are predicting that 1t will prove a record breaker. The Putnam sharpshooters found the basket in the early part of the game and caged tue ball with clockwork regularity. The game was without special feature, but Maynard had several difficult shots to his credit.
