BEAT SPAULDING
St. JOhnsbury Academy Putting Up
Some Good Basket BalI-Play
MOrrisville Monday Night

The best game thus far this season
under the St. j. A. colors was pulled
off last Friday night when they held
the fast Spaulding quintet down to a
score of S5-14.
Coach Gould deserved great credit
for bringing this fast appearing bunch
out of what appeared recently against
Stowe High school. 1t did not look
like the same team and the class of
ball which they put up Friday night
was on different level than they
have shown before this season. Cap
tain Witty was a whirlwind and his
shooting was really the sensational
feature of the evening. Nothing
could seem to stop him or Ellis in
their floor work and Lucian was Gag
ing them from every angle. Ellis
was not so lucky on the shots but his
floor work and passing had a great
deal to do with the win. Masse played
a steady game in center and tied his
opponent in baskets shot.
Farnham played the game with a
bandaged hand but this did not in
terfere with his clever work. He was
opposed by one of the best SpauIding
men but held his own throughout.
The game was clean and Referee
Kennef1ck kept the men well in hand
throughout. Trouble threatened once
in the last period when Farnham and
Densmore clashed, but the referee
smoothed things over to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned. The local boy
was banished for his part in the attain
and the crowd in the corner was CIV
en- a curtain lecture and what prom
ised to be rather a noisy mix-up blew
over without any damage.
The next game at home will be
against Peoples Academy next Monday
night. This Morrisville quintet is GO
ing to make the locals trot a fast pace
and should st. ]. A. win this coming
event they need not be very fearful of
anything else in the league. Come on
you fansl The locals are going right
now and it is up to you to help out.
And the only way to help out is to at
tend the games and boost.

IntercIaSs Games.
In the interclass league at the Aca-
denny, in which the girls of the four
classes are battling for a cup, the
standing is now one game on the right
side of the ledger for the sophomores
and for the seniors, while the fresh
men and junior classes have each
dropped one. The freshmen were
forced to bow to the prowess of '18
last Friday night but it was only by
the narrow margin of one point, the
score reading to 6. The Cramton-
Cary combination proved an obstacle
which the freshies could not surmount.
These two young ladies put up a fine
exhibition of floor work and also did
some clever shooting. For the losers,
Miss Flint starred at the target shoot
ing, making three hits which was the
total of her teams scoring. The game
was real basket ball with none OF the
mollycoddIe mixed in. They hit the
line hard, spent no time in apologizing
and all in all gave a clever exhibition
Of the game.
Coach Gould has issued challenge
to Littleton High school for a game
between the co-eds. Should the Gran
lite Staters accept, a Varsity girls
team will be selected from the league
q of q
warm reception.
