Ia at Montpelier
WINNERS SHOWED
MARKED SUPERIORITY
The Spaulding Second Team
Toyed with the Mont
pelier Seconds


supported by large crowd OF thos'
interested in the athletics of Spaulding
the two basketball teams from that
school defeated Montpelier high school
teams last evening In the armory IN
Montpelier by sizeablc scores, the first
team winning, % 10 IL, whine the second
team won by score of 20 to o, the
Montpelier team being unable 10 do any
thing with the second team from Spauld'
ing, who outelassed them in every point
If the game.
There was a wide difference in the
style of playing between the varsity
teams of the two schools, the Spauiding
five PLAYING with the ease of veterans,
while the Montpelier team played a.
freshmen generally do, nervous at times.
Spaulding did not have to play its limit
of speed or endurance because the Mont
peicr team did not have the stuff to
make them go. Morse, in the last period
received jolt in The neck which delayed
the game for a few minutes, but from
which he recovered in little while. vii.
kns, who played for little time in the
last period, made a good appearance.
Mann of the Spaulding team was the
bright spot for his aggregation, making
total Of Is points, or more than half
those made by his team. He was all
over the floor and kept his man on go
to guard him,
Spaulding played in hard luck in shoot
ing for baskets; chance after chance was
tried only to have the ball roll outside
the rim and then go into play again.
Many times the ball went into the crowd
so that this prevented Spaulding getting
scores frequently. for the ball would
have been in their possession had it not
gone to the center for the referee to
throw il up again.
Morse and Carpenter guarded their
opponents SO well that they were UNI |
able to do much. Smith was off form all |
the evening and seemed to be in the way |
Of many plays instead OF in the game.
Geals played his usual excellent game,
although he did not figure in the basket
throwing as much as usual
The gallery of the building was filled,
while the stage and all available stand
ing room at each end of the room was
occupied They cheercd their teams with
vim and good fellowship. The sum
mary:
Spaulding Montpelier.

Montpelier Seconds Outclassed.
There was but little to the second
team game Montpelier did not show
at all and the Spaulding play
ers pissed and handled the ball with
case, getting baskets almost at will. Nc j,
Hardy seemed to have the best luck at ,
this and played strong game, while his
did equally as we'll There
seemed to be but little feature playing
in this game, although some good shots {
at baskets were made. Montpelier was {
unable to get any team work going, 4
while Spaulding seemed to be using it all
of the time. The summary: I
Spaulding. Montpelier. {
