played by Spaulding
Last Evening
BIG CROWD SAW HOME
VICTORY, A TO %
Mann of Spaulding Scored
Enough Points to Win
the Game

The Spaulding gymnasium was take
10 its capacity last evening when tn
dreams of the Burlington high schoo
basketball quintet for the league cham
pionshp were slightly shattered, tn
team meeting defeat for the first tim
this season at the hands of their Spauld
ing opponents, the result being the scor'
of A to 25, The Burlington aggregation
this season is one of the fastest for sew
eral seasons and from the start OF the
season has doomed up as one of the con
tenders for the state interscholastit
league championship.
The local quintet has suffered two de-
feats this season, having been defeated
in the opening game of the schedule at
Burlington, and they also dropped the
game with Peoples academy at Morris
vile recently Thus far the Burlington
team stands at the head of the league
and in order to be equaled the Spaulding
team must win all of the remaining
games ON the schedule, while the Bur
lington team loses one of its remaining
games.
great advantage during the first few
minutes of play although Spaulding com
menced the scoring with Mann bringing
the enthusiastic crowd to their feet with
a basket from the center of the floor.
During the remainder of the period the
local aggregation completely outclassed
their opponents, with their dazzling ra-
pidity in team work and in securing long

Rod was % to in favor of the local
quintet
Spaulding started out with rush at
the beginning of the second period, with
Mann, shooting several baskets in sue
cession, while the Burlington team stood
in their tracks completely bewildered.
Towards the last of this period the Bur
lington team took final stand and for a
few minutes it looked to be anybody's
game, although the period ended with |
the score A to 25 in Spaulding's favor.
For the winners, Mann was easily the |
outstanding star, he shooting IA baskets |
through the loop, many of them being |
from the center of the floor or from diff
feut angles, besides tossing in two bas-
kets from fouls, he alone securing enough !
points to assure the local team victory /
Geals was the runner-up in shooting
baskets, he caging four from the floor,
while Lyon secured two and Morse one
Burlington's score was kept low owing
to the defensive playing of the Spaulding
guards, Morse and Carpenter, they break
ing up play after play, the fast floor
work of the former being a point in his
favor. For the losers Harrington was
the high scorer, he caging seven baskets,
while his teammates Blodgett and B.
Katz, secured four and one, respectively
The lineup was as follows:

A STRANGE OCCURRENCE.
Howitzer Shell, Kept in Home for 10
Years, Suddenly Exploded.

London, Feb. 10. A huge howitler
she'll which had stood on the hearth in
mouth for 10 years, exploded with tre-
mendous violence a few nights ago, al
most demolishing the house and injur-
ing the sergeant's three children. The
she'll was brought back from South Afri.
ca as souvenir and il was supposed
that the charge had been withdrawn. II
il supposed that spark Of burning SCOT
penetrated the fuse opening at the nose
OF the she'll.

SPAN OF 81 YEARS.
Between the Oldest and the Youngest
Member OF the House OF Lords.

London, Feb, l6.-Much is continually
written, says the Daily Graphic, regard
ing the youthful vigor of the earl OF
Halsbury, who still makes his appear.
anee in the House Of Lords despite the
weight of his % years, but no mention
is made of the little Lord Petre, the
youngest peer of the realm.
Incredible almost as it may appear,
there is difference Of 81 years between
the ages of the former lord chancellor
and the present head of the Catholic
house of Petre, who is not quite four,
and will be unable, of course TO take his
seat in Parliament until 1858"

Points While the Seminary Was

Montpelier.

Montpelier seminary basketball team
defeated st, Johnsbury academy team
on the Montpelier armory floor last night
by score of Al to in a loosely played
game. If the seminary team had been
going right it would have piled up a
much larger score than resulted
In the first period of playing the
Montpelier team played with little life
When its passing and team work was
good its throwing for baskets was poor,
so that it accomplished but little with
the result that it looked as though il
was to be a close game, the period ending
l3 to 6 in favor of Montpelier. But in
the second period the Montpelier team
seemed to hit its stride with the result
that it piled up a large score. At times
the visiting team did some good playing
The passing was excellent, that is, when
they were able to get hold of the ball.
but they could not Judge the floor and
their attempts at baskets fell short ma
terally each time
Hatch was the strong player of the
home team, getting 10 points for his
team. Granai played well but was close
~ guarded most of the time. With his |
man he gave a little outside demonstra.
ton which resulted in fouls being called.

DEFINITION OF ROAD TERMS
List Of Technical Names Taken From
the Program Of the Canadian
Good Roads Congress.

With the progress of road building
there has come into use number of
terms more or less technical, but
lowing list is from the program Of the
Canadian Good Roads congress:
Aggregate.-The mineral material,
such as sand, gravel, shells, Stag, or
broken stone, or combinations thereof,
with which the cement or the bitumin-
GUS material Is mixed to form NOR
tar or concrete. Fine aggregate may
be considered as the mineral inert ma.
terial which will pass a one-fourth.
inch screen. and coarse aggregate the
material which will not pass one
fourth-lnch screen.
Blnder.--(1) A foreign or fine mate.
rial introduced into the mineral por-
ton of the wearing surface for the
purpose Of assisting the road material
TO retain Its integrity under stress, as
well as, perhaps, to aid In Its first
construction. (2) The course. In n
sheet asphalt pavement, frequently
used between the concrete foundation
and the sheet asphalt mixture OF
graded sand and asphalt cement.
Bond.--The combined action of In
ertia, friction, and of the forces OF
adhesion and cohesion which helps the
separate particles composing II crust
or pavement to resist separation under
stress. Mechanical bond is the bond
produced almost wholly In well-built
broken-stone macadam road, by the
fnterlocking of angular fragments of
stone and the subsequent filling OF the
remaining interstlces with the finer
particles.
Observation-Disclosures with the aid
of water.
Cement.-An adhesive substance
used for uniting particles of other ma
terials to each other. Ordinarily APP
piled only to calclned cement rock"
or to artificlally prepared calclned
and ground mixtures OF limestone and
silicious materials. Sometimes used to
designate bituminous binder used In
bituminous pavements, when the ex-
preston "bitumlnous cement" Ia. w
is understood to be meant
Cement Concrete.--An intimate mix
ture of gravel, shell, Stag or broken
stone particles with certain proper
lions OF sand or similar material. ce-
ment and water, made previous to
placing.
Course.-One or more layers of road
material spread and compacted sepa-
rateiy for the formation of the road or
pavement. Courses are usually re-
ferred to in the order OF their laying,
as first course. second course, third
course, etc. Also a single row of
blocks In pavement.
CrOwn.-The rise in cross-sectlon
from the lowest TO the highest part OF
the finished roadway. II may be ex-
pressed either as so many inches Cor
tonths OF foo), or as n rate per foot
or distance from side To center. that

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts OF America.)
HOW ALASKA SCOUTS

To be apportioned $4,000 In Lib
srty loan campaign ard to wind up
the drive with $4,000 Is a pretty big
record. Yet there's scout troop
which did this very thing. Up In Fair
banks, Alaska. 1t wasn't pleasant
weather when the last Liberty loan
campaign began. Trails were almost
impossible, and driving storms and
bitter winds came every day.
But the troop In Fairbanks came for
ward 100 per cent strong. There were
80 boys in Troop No. 1 and their APP
portionment for the campaign was first
put ut $4,000. A huge clock was
made to indicate their progress.
But on the very first day they
busted" the clock, for they obtained
subscriptions amounting to more than
double that amount. Then the clock
was put ut $4,000. Local Liberty loan
officials were positive the troop could
go no farther by hook or crook. But
the end of the campaign saw them. not
nj $4,000 but at $67, 100, which repre-
scented half the total subscriptions OBJ
tanned In the whole district. And 1t
was really $69,100, IL we count a $4,000
subscription one man asked to be al
lowed to make In recognition Of their
work.
