A team Of giants that just cali
themselves the Peerless Five, have mu-
tually agreed to be managed by the
smallest man in Barre, Tom" Bstchel
der, during the basketball season at
least. tom had the foresight to see
that with these tx footers, not six
shooters, he could instill awe in many
a Vermont combination Of FIVE men,
who excel in basket ball Perhaps Il
would be we'll TO mention here these
basketball players who will represent
the Peerless Five. First Of all there is
the captain, John "Jelly" Geals, center
for the 1918 championship team at
| Spaulding He isn't more than six feet
2 inches tall. big fellow. but mighty
clever on the floor Then there is
Earl Bone Lille. another ex-Spauld-
ing center. He played center for that
school team last year, and without him
! Spauldings chances for retaining the
cup last season would have been rather
| slender. Bone a. everybody calls
him although he makes no bones" in
basketball probably can stretch to six
feet six inches in his stocking feet An
other fellow whose experience was
chiefly with the Bethel town team,
which last year defeated Norwich var
I sity team and other good Vermont
teams, is Ralph oliver. How tall Is
he? Well, that's a hard question to
answer cause he's still growing, but
! it's quite safe to say six feet two
inches The last two to be mentioned
are not more than five feet 10 inches, !
and five feet nine inches, respectively. /
| The first, Earl "Dobbin" Smith, will be |
remembered. by the boys of few years /
back as one Of Goddard seminarys best /
men, who still keeps in condition and +
has won permanent position on this
Independent team The last regular Is /
Ellis Bridge His experieca dates back
to the prewar days when Morrisville |
and St .1ohnshury retained profession
al players. Let it be known, Bridge !
was considered one of the best in the I
two towns, in fact he has played for
both town teams as forward. Other
players who will appear at times in the
lineup are; Harold Johnson, a former
Montpelier seminary player, Christie
Bjorn and Thomas Ingram Their mi
tial game will be played in Worthwhile
against the legion team of that town
Christmas evening; and the next even
ing they will be present at the Peer
less dance to be held in Rowland hall,
for the teams benefit, the money ac
cumulated there TO be used TO buy I
suits, ball and other equipment for
the team. The management extends a /
challenge to any team in the state, coll f
lege, prep school or independent team.
For games correspond with Harold i
Batchelder, / Summer street, Barre.
