VERMONT WON
IN FAST FINISH
Defeated Norwich IN First
Intercollegiate Game
Of Season
WAS FAR BEHIND
ALMOST TO END
But Krayer Came into Game
at Montpelier and hand
ed the Game

The University o. vermont oash'tu'i'
team defeated Norwich university ON the
armory floor in Montpelier Saturday
evening before large crowd. Inc Nef'
mont team made whirlwind finish
which brought victory 10 their hands,
carving the score from nine points III
the rear to one ahead OF their opponents
and winning 26 TO 25. a little rough
playino of Grout for Norwich and Bren,
nan for Vermont resulted IN these Two
men being taken from the game when
there was but three minutes more To
play and the score was 20 to 10 IN favor
of Norwich
Then Vermont started the rally which
won them the game. krayen made three
baskets, while Flood and Harmon each
made one Long, lucky shots that sell
dom fall into the baskets OF the armory
hall when thrown from the distance that
those were thrown in the last three min
utes of play helped the Vermont players,
The game opened with Clark, the for
mer Montpelier high school man, making
a basket for Norwich and this he fol-
lowed up during the first period, Harmon
being unable TO cover him enough to pre-
vent his throwing at will. In that pc
llDu he mdue HlIlt VI tilt ~ HbihtH W.
his team. In the first period Vermont
was unable TO do much at basket throw
ing. Flood threw the only one for his
team, but Harmon was good ON fouls,
making four points, so that at the end OF
that period the game stood IL to IN
favor of Norwich.
When the second period commenced
Kraven replaced Shaw at forward in the
Vermont lineup and was marked i'm
provement over Shaw, Waite being I'M
able to cover him as he had Shaw. kray
en- made IL of the 20 points in the last
period of play for his team. He made
some very clever shots when well guard
ed. while luck was with him ON several
long shots which rolled into the basket.
Waite was relieved toward the last OF
the period by Salmon, who replaced Clark
at forward, the latter going to center
and Smith to Waite's place as guard.
This shakelup OF the team and the one
hat followed probably lost the game,
for Salmon spoiled the team work and
gave very poor exhibition OF playing
an the whole, while the latter change
when Grout went out of the game and
Steele was placed in the lineup again
weakened the team and gave the Yer
mont team the opportunity to win the
match with ease. The way the Norwich
cam was going before the hake-up in
The line up took place il would have been
impossible for the Vermont team TO have
them in scoring. ,
When Brennan was taken out of the
game after an alleged brush with Grout,
Hayden was placed at. guard, so that
some OF the former Montpelier high
school team played against each other;
nut it was only for three minutes, so no
ceiling got into their playing. {
After Clark shot the first basket it
ooked for some minutes as though it
would be close game all the way, with
low score at the end; but soon it was +
cen that such was not to be the case, I
or Clark was able to get several more o
askets during that period. However, in t.
he second period the Vermont team d
yards watched Clark more closely and "
e was unable to get some nice shots like q
hose of the earlier part of the game,
lille krayen, the new man for Vermont e,
'as whirlwind on all parts of the floor a
cling for the ball all of the time and p
aking all kinds of chances for baskets W
I long range. He played a prominent Ell
game, but it counted in the a.
nd and he carried away the honors for &C
is team in the final three minutes of Il
laying by long shots that told in the
nal counting Of the baskets. The sum
larry;
