AN EASY VICTORY
Montpelier Seminary Defeated Whit.
comb High School, 50 to 3.


The Montpelier basketball season wai
opened last evening with the seminary
team defeating Whitcomb high school OF
Bethel in the Montpelier armory by a
score of 50 to 3. Bethel got its three
points on as many fouls Reagan throw
ing them and therefore, getting the cred.
II of all the points made by his team
For the first few minutes il looked ms
though the visitors were going to give
the home team run for their money,
but about the middle of the first period
the wind of the visiting team played out
and then Granai and Lance were able TO
throw baskets at will. The visiting team
was lost on the big floor. II was the
first time they had ever played on floor
of that size and their shots for baskets
fell short nearly every time; but when
they did get one long enough they over
shot, wasting the effort.
In the second period Montpelier was
stronger than in the first period. while
the visiting team did not seem to play
together as we'll as they did in the other
period Reagan. who had been suffering
from hard cold, was all in during the
second period. but was able to keep
watch from running mp a large score
in that period, Reagan dropped out of
the game in the third period because of
his cold and Jebh, who took his place,
did very well Duba for Montpelier. was
tried out in place Of Narr during the
same period. and showed up well Rich
ards. who replaced Barrows in the second
period for Bethel. was an improvement
The Montpelier team outweighed their
opponents so that it made the game look
decidedly rough at times. Granai, who
landed five baskets for the home team
did not try very hard during the last |
period TO make baskets
