The Spaulding gymnasium was taxed
to its limit last evening at the SECOND
game of the Vermont interscholastic Sc
ries between Spanlding and Montpelier
high school team, when the red and blue
team romped away with an easy victory
the score being 30 TO IL. The Spauldins
team piled up enough points to win the
game in the first period and during the
second period increased their lead by a
wide margin. Although the contest
proved very one sided, interest in the
outcome never waned throughout the
game, a great deal of enthusiasm being
manifested most of the time. The local
team completely outclassed their oppo.
nents in passing and good team work,
although the Capital city quintet showed
flashes of the finer art of the game at
periods of few minutes.
The second teams of the two schools
played thrilling and nerve racking
game between the periods, the outcome
of the contest being in doubt until the
last few minutes of play, the result be-
ing the score of l6 to Is in favor OF
Montpelier.
