GOOD SHOWING IN
SECOND PERIOD
Brattleboro High Showed Lack of Team
Practice in First Period Against
Springfield and Lcses.

The Brattleboro high school played
its first home basketball game of the
season in the Armorv Saturday evening
and met defeat at the hands of the
Springfield (Vt.) team by a score of q
to II. Brattleboro showed plainly the
lack of team practice and i'll the first
period did not score floor goal or seri-
ously threaten TO do so. Two goals from
fouls were all that showed on the Brat
tleboro side of the scorebOard at the end
of the first half, while Springfield had
piled up ii points.
. The second period was different. Mo-
ran went from forward TO center, chang
ing places with Stearns, and the latter
Immediately began to show his apprecia-
ton. He scored three baskets from the
floor in rapid succession. Vinton made
one backhanded shot which with another
goal from a foul gave Brattleboro to-
tai for that period of nine. Springfield S
total for the second period was seven.
! BrattlebOro played good basketball in
the second period. The boys seemed
, 10 get some idea of the proper way to
break up rather clever passing game
on the part of the visitors, but they
showed woeful lack of ability to shoot
goals. Stearns was the only man who
seemed to have an accurate eye and
hands.
! a. Currie, at right guard for the visit
ors, did the best floor work and shot
three floor goals and one from foul.
Longwood got three from the floor in
the first period, but was outplaved by
Ninton in the second. Hastings scored
two in the first period against Stowell,
but Defiance prevented him from scor-
ing in the last period. \ dance followed
