Of 46 to %

The Spaulding basketball team won
over Stowe high school last night at the
Spaulding gymnasium by score of 4t
to 2s in a game that was marked by
clean and fast playing. While Spaulding
made nearly enough points in the first
period to win the game, they shot /
baskets in the second period to make
doubly sure of victory The crowd which
| patronized the game was small, but the
small handful of royal rooters" who
made it point to attend kept the boys
in a spirited mood by their continual
cheering.
The most friendly feeling prevailed be-
tween the players of the contesting
teams, and at no time did any rough
work appear on the floor. as both teams
relied upon their teamwork to carry
them through instead of the roughhouse
tactics which have been displayed by
several visiting teams, as well as by
Spaulding. The teams seemed equally
proficient in their team work. as the
passing was of very high order and good
guarding kept the score down. The
score hardly indicates the true strength
OF the upstate boys, as they certainly
showed some clever work which they
won't be credited with. The main rea-
son for their defeat was the excellent
work of doc" Mann, who Gagged the bali
on II occasions, and his side kick, Geals
at center, who shot seven of the point
makers. The work of these two men
was nothing less than remarkable as
they were very proficient in their pass.

twice did he cage the ball, and once from
a difficult angle on the floor when he re-

it into the basket with Stowe man on
