20 Victory over

VISITORS TEAM WORK
WAS EXCELLENT
Locals Missed Shot After
Shot in an Exciting
Contest

The Spaulding high school team was
defeated in a fast game of basketball
with Peoples academy Saturday night
The game was played on Spaulding
home floor and ended with the score u
TO 20 in favor of the visitors.
Peoples academy has team OF strong
and fast players but more than that they
are clean, sportsman-like fellows who
play real basketball every moment OF the
game. Their passing was the best that
has been witnessed here this season.
They seemed TO be able to get rid OF the
ball from any position and almost never
failed to land it in the hands of one Of
their own men. Spaulding was by no
means asleep in the game in spite OF the
fact that they got the small end of the
score, for they played, in the opinion OF
most of the spectators, as well il not
better than they have played before this
year. True, their work was not as spec
tacular as that in the Montpelier game
but with opponents that cover as well as
the academy team does there is little
chance Tor long dribbles or easy shots.
The local team did not, in the game
Saturday evening, show the accuracy in
shooting that has been feature of their
previous home games. Time after time
the ball struck the rim of the basket
only to rebound into the hands of a P. A,

either side and those were for minor of
lenses, not sign of i'll feeling or nten-

Officials of the administration acknowl-
edge frankly that they made a mistake
in their failure to take the American
public into their confidence in regard to
the disarmament memorandum. The
memorandum was sent to the entente
allies and became public from that source
and without any attempt on the part Of
the United States to make its attitude
clear.

iels.
MANY OF our destroyers have reached
an age where renewals of extensive por.
tions of their machinery equipment is
necessary" Secretary Daniels said. "The
same is true of submarines, both classes
,of vessels making big drain on this
years appropriation"
The boilers of the battleships Georgia
and Virginia, both of which have been
in almost constant service for ten years,
have shown such weakness, Mr., Daniels
said as to require that these vessels be
withdrawn from active service TO have
their boilers replaced. In addition the
Virginia has recently broken an impor-
tant part of her machinery, which must
be renewed, and the long stay Of the
fleet in Mexican waters last year also
caused an unusual repair bill.
Secretary Daniels also declared that
it was highly desirable to avoid lay.
off of workmen, who would be lost by
the unusual demand for labor in the
building trades. The estimates were re-
ferred TO the appropriations committee
for inclusion in the urgency deficiency
bill.
