At Church street gymnasium last
evening Spaulding high school defeated
Burlington high school at basketball by
score Of 80 to g. The game was fast
from beginning to end, Spaulding hav-
ing the advantage in the beginning and
Burlington having the larger total IN the
last period. Passing on both sides was
excellent, but the visitors did the best
work in this line. In the last period IT
looked, for while, as if the visitors
would win out, but close guard work on
the part of SpauIding held them from
getting the lead At no time during
the whole game were the Burlington lads
at the head in the score.
oliver of the Spaulding team was
the first one to score, and it was not
long after that he sent in the second.
He was closely followed by Others on
his team and it was not until they had
piled up total of Is points that the
scoring stopped. The Burlington team
succeeded in totalling up only eight
points in the first half.
Tomasi, at right forward, played an
excellent game for his team. His usual
dribbling held his opponents at bay and
at each clash he would succeed in get
ting away. In breaking up his oppo-
nent's passes and in his own passing he
outcIassed all. oliver was the high scor
er for Spaulding in the first half, send
ing the ball through the net five times.
His man, r. Rupert, was left scoreless.

at many times in the first half. Two
baskets were marked to his name in each
period.
Burlington came back strongly in the /
last period doubling the score on the 4
Spaulding team. Twenty points were 1
marked to their side against ten 10 I
Spauldings. In the beginning they lei .
off and brought their whole total 70 20 I
before Spauldng scored. Their passing +
was very good in this half and it puzzled +
the home team to break il up. The
guards of Spaulding spent too much time
in playing the floor and the Burlington
forwards were allowed to try their
chances a large number of times To-
ward the last OF the period the Spauld
ing team rallied and held the yisitors
down. Tho guards stuck 20 their men
and kept them from shooting many
times. The whole team buckled down
to business and soon Tailed ten points.
SIX of these were made by Hooker and
al came in close succession. The other
four were made by Sector, both being
fine shots and were loudly applanded.

sorted TO long shots, but only once was
