The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-03-08

job last evening and kept the Montpelier
team work somewhat broken up, and the
playing OF the Spaulding guards on adj
vancing the ball was great deal better
than the form they displayed in the first
game with Montpelier, as they passed
the ball and the Spaulding forwards were
nearly always in position to receive
the sphere as it was shot up the hal.
The playing of the Capital city guards
was also very clever and through them
play after play was broken up as they
blocked off shots which looked to be
good. The Montpelier five always passed
the ball in good style and kept their
opponents baffied whenever they got
started up the floor toward their own
goal and their dribbling was OF the high
est order. Montpelier also excelled in
the basket shooting.
There was no particular star on either
five last evening, as they all played u
consistent game throughout. For Mont
pelier Clark played the same great drib-
bling game which he has been displaying
through the season, and he had remark
able luck in shooting for the basket
whenever he could get free from Dens-
more. Gross at the other forward posi-
ton performed remarkably well on the
floor, but in shooting baskets he could
not get away from Morse and Gagged but
three throughout the evening. AT center
Jangraw had the best success at caging
the ball OF any of the Montpelier aggre-
CATION, as he managed to get away from
Nichols to shoot eight bskets. The two
guards did not play forward game at
all, but dropped back and chung close to
their men, breaking up the plays which
came in their section of the floor, very
few getting through them for the count.
The entire team played the same game
which they did before, by feediifs either
OF the forwards or Jangraw whenever
they saw that man was uncovered, !
and through this method all their bas
kets were made
Nichols was placed at center and Geals |
took Nichols position at forward, which I
made a great improvement AS Geals is
more accustomed to playing forward |
Than he is at center, and Nichols had |
little trouble in outjumping Jangraw.
IN the first period Mann played a good
yame and Cerasoli. who took Mann's
place at forward, played equally as well.
ieals at the other forward played the
anne consistent game which he has been
displaying all through the season and
argely through him the Spaulding team
work was accomplished. Although Mich
is outjumped his man at center, he
allied TO cover him. as Jangraw led the
cam in baskets from the floor The
wo guard positions were admirably TAX
n care OF, as Capt. Densmore held the
asst Clark TO six baskets, all of them
eing difficult shots Morse at the other
uard seems to be the real find of the
ear and shows improvement in every
anne. As a dribbler no man in the
sague, Clark included. can work the
all up the floor with as much speed as
Iorse, and he is steadily improving in
is team work.
The game started with Gross shooting
difficult basket from the side of the
all, soon followed by baskets by Jan
raw and Clark. At this point Spauld
70 made counter when Mann got :
way from Smith in time 10 get a free I
lot and from here on both teams got a
nder fire, each showing clever work, [
though Montpelier gradually drew c
way until the count at the end of the q
eriod stood % to 10 in Montpeher's $
vor. The second period started with v
