NORTHFIELD BOYS
BEAT HIGH SCHOOL
Heavier and More Experienced Team
Wins Hard Fought Game % to IS
Started About $50.

In low scoring, close guarding, but
clearly played basketball game i'll the
Armory Saturday evening the North |
field Boys Brigade team outplayed the
Brattleboro high school team and won
BY a score of % to ID. The visitors
scored half of their points in each of
the two periods and Brattleboro tried
to do the same but missed a free try
that kept their score III the second peri
cd down to six points, instead of max
ing seven as they did in the first.
Brattleboro high played surprisingly
good basketball against an older and
more experienced team, the members of
which have played together for some
time and who outweighed and out
reached the local boys. The pace set
at the opening was furious and con
tinued 20 the end. 1t was a tribute to
the condition OF the players of both
teams that they could stand the fast
pace.
Play had been in progress nearly
five minutes before the first basket was
tossed, free try for Mortified. A
minute later Steans evened the score
as the result of foul called on the
visitors. +. Bolton and Curtis, the two
tall, rangv forwards of the visitors,
team while Moran and Stearns excelled
for the home team.
There was a tendency on the part of
one or two of the home team to play
a floor game to the exclusion Of play
ing their personal opponents which had
something TO do with the size of the
score, but considering the more ex-
perienced team they were up against
ipb chr
fed with the showing Of its team a
few more games against stronger teams
and the difference III team work would
not be noticeable.
The game was very late in starting,
for the visitors did not arrive until al
most $50, an hour and a half after the
time for the opening of the game. They
left Northfeld III four-seated sleigh
with pair of horses but going was SO
hard that it was tired outfit that
finally reached the Armory
Many Of the audience left before the
game was started and only fair
crowd was present when the referee !
whistle blew the first time. The after
noon game the week before drew q
much larger audience A dance fol

for opponents.
Brattleboro high basketball team

IDENTIFY Stearns threw three out of his
first four attempts. 1t makes a diff

was not so accurate.
It is a pleasure to watch a hard,
close game in which not single play
err shows a disposition to rough work.
That was the ease Saturday night.
No harder, Easter game has been
played here between boys teams than
that last one.
The value of having a player with
ability to toss fouls in basketball
game was well illustrated in the Am
herst- Williams game Saturday. Capt
Widmayer of Amherst tossed eight out
Of 10 and his team lost by a score OF
"a To %. Had he not missed two the
score would have been a tie. Had hC
tossed about the percentage usual his
team would have lost by eight or II
points.
The attendance was not so large
