BURR AND BURTON NOTES


Burr and Burton Wins, A to IA
The Burr and Burton Seminary bas-
Tketball team won its fifth game of the
season last Friday night when it de-
feated the Brandon High school team
at the Seminary Gymnasium by the
score of a. to IA. The game was hard
fought from start to finish but was
marred by several unfortunate acci-
dents. Two of these accidents were
quite serious for the time being. Mar
ion Rich, star forward on the Semi
nary team, fell at the start of the sec
ond half, hitting his head on the floor
and being knocked unconscious. Soon
after this accident Whtcomb of Bran
don had similar accident. Both men
were treated by DR.. Campbell and
came out all right but Whitcomb was
unable to return home until the fol-
lowing day The accidents were not
due to any rough play but were en-
tirely unintentional. Rich had played
a wonderful game up to the time of
his injury, shooting eleven baskets in
the first half. Brandon was entirely
outclassed in every department of the
game, but kept up their determination
to make the Seminary boys earn all
the points they got.
The line up:
Burr and Burton: Rich, Davis, rf;
Salter, If; Brewster, Wilson, C; Davis,
Brewster, re; Marsden (Capt.), lg.
Brandon High: Chase (Capt.), rf;
Housman, If; Frazier, c; Whitcomb,

BIG BASKETBALL ATTRACTION

Middlebury College Team 10 Play
Here Friday Night. This viii b
Hot Game.
Manchester people will be given 9
chance to see one Of the fastest
games Of the basketball season to-
morrow night, Friday, Dec. IL, wher
the Burr and Burton team tackles the
fast Middlebury College second team
at the Seminary Gymnasium. The 10.
cal teams record of five decisive vic
tories and no defeats for the present
season gives it all the confidence need
ed in taking OH the collegians. The
Semeinary boys have scored a total
of 217 points to their opponents 1877.
The makeup Of the Middlebury team
is not as yet known, but it will prcb-
ably have for one guard, "Tony"
Goode, who played star game at end
on the football team and was mainly
responsible for Middlebury's victory
over U. v. M. by blocking two punts
in the first period, recovering one on
the thirty yard line, and taking the
ball over for touchdown the second
time. He also scored the touchdown
in 1917 witch beat Vermont 6-2. The
other guard is likely to be "Keck"
Parker, quarterback on the football
team who kicked the field goal which
defeated Norwich 80 and who scored
a touchdown from the 30 yard line in
the Vermont game after Goode had re-
covered the ball. Lacy, freshman
from Camden, N. J. is apt to play CEN
ter though he is making a strong bid
for the Varsity team. The game is
bound to be close and interesting
from start to finish and if the Semi
nary team plays as it has been doing
all the fall, the blue and white team
will have their hands full every min
lte. There will be preliminary game
,y the girls as an added attraction.
The games will start promptly at
light o'clock. The Middlebury team
las to be given large guarantee to
,lay here on account of the distance
hey have to come and the local man
lgement hopes for good sized crowd
n order to cover expenses.

mas shippers not only to send their
holiday packages early. but to see
that they were properly packed and
accurately addressed
I'VE expect very heavy movement

year" said Mr. Childs, ''and this at a.
time when we are handling a greater
amount Of traffic than at any period in
the history Of the railroads. 1t Will
be well for Christmas shippers to
keep in mind the % pound limitation
for paper wrapped packages. Most
holiday presents, we believe, are un-
der that weight and are, therefore. |
not affected by the new rules.

al Townshend who has been canvas
sing In Rutland was arrested late this
afternoon by Sheriff Frank l.. Well
man on a complaint issued b. States
Attorney Ernest W. Gibson Of this
place charging him withmanslaugh,er,
II is alleged thai Snow shot and killed
sarrcl Sawyer. aged so, while the lat
ter was hunting deer In Townshend
last week Monday morning. There Is
30 claim, however, that Snow had any
intention Of shooting Mr.. Sawyer but
rather that he was guilty Of criminal
rarelessncss.
Snow waived examination before
Judge A. y. Cudworth in the Munich
pal court and was placed under bonds
Of $500 for his appearance in the APP
mi term Of Windham county court. His
mother. Mrs. Wallace Moore, and his
grandmother, Mrs. Frances Snow,
both Of Townshcnd. furnished securi-
~ and Snow was released.
Snow is 26 years old. He served in
the 10Th Field Artillery, 9Th division,
was gsssed at vosges and was con-
lined in hospital in France.
Mr.. Sawyer was shot while under
spruce tree with branches reaching to
the ground. He had cut of some
branches and placed them in a posi-
ton 10 shield himself from the view
u any deer that might chance to come
that way. Snow reported finding the
body TO the town authorities. II was
then warm. An autopsy by DIR. b. II.
Stone Of Burlington showed that the
bullet was of 80 calibcr, the same as
that OF the rifle carried BY Snow. The
rifle is now in the possession Of the
officers.
To States Attorney Gibson, Snow
admitted that he shot at deer, aim
ing in the general direction of the tree
where Mr.. Sawyer's body was found,
but he denies shooting at any object
moving about under the tree. He says
that. having missed the deer he con-
tinued in the direction Of the tree and
came upon the body of MIR. Sawyer.
Snow and Sheriff Wellman and
States Attorney Gibson went over the
territory where the shooting occurred
and later Snow was placed under ar
rest. He is young man Of good rep
utation and his attitude toward the
officers and toward the investigation
has been Of an entirely straightfor-
ward nature.
On the day Of the shooting, States
Attorney Gibson visited the scene and
as a result of what he learned stated
that he felt certain that whoever shot
Mr.. Sawyer knew directly afterwards
that he had killed man, but he said
he had no doubt that the shooting was
unintentional. The autopsy showed
that the bullet went through Mr.. Saw
yer's heart, stomach, liver and right
kidney and was embedded in the hip
bone.

By Associated Prsss

Mexico City, July l&-American mov ing films are increasing in popularity here Uutil IS months ago Europea n pictures were favored by the public. which had acquired taste for French and Italian productions. Of late, how ever, American manufacturers have put thelr products to the fore in the re-. public and their films are to be found in virtually all picture houses, in many Of them displacing altogether the Euro pean films.
 Evidence that the United States man. utacturers intend to expand their field nere IS the fact that within the past few weeks three of the leading companies nave established offices in Mexico City ana these In turn have started branches Tn Vera Cruz. Guadalajara San Iuis Potosi and Monterey. Representatives of these firms assert that in a short time Mexico will receive film releases all most simultaneously with the United states. This will be an innovation for heretoIore managers have been content to receive films many months old and of a poor quality.
