MAKING PLANS FOR
BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Brattleboro High School to Be Included
Chief Electrician Dunton
Talks on Radio Work.

Plans are under way for the formation
of a basketball league to include the
Brattleboro high school, and discussion of
the project was held recently in Green
field, Mass, by principals of the Green
field, Turner'S Falls, and BrattleboroI
high schools, Arms academy of Shell
burne Falls and Deerfeld acad-I
envy. Frank Boyden of Deerfield
academy was made president and E. Burr
Smith of Greenfield, secretary. Next
Monday evening there will be a meeting
to decide upon the schedule If Athol
and Orange join the league there will be
for each team 10 home games. The rules
of eligibility are being drawn up by Prin-
cipals Warren of Brattleboro and Vose of
Shelburne Falls.
Truly it may be said that last Saturday
the high school team made football his
tory by its splendid team work and by
eonspicuously fine individual playing. Jus
Moran's length-of-the.6eld run was the
feature of the game. Special mention is
due Grummit, too, who was in the game
every minute and made many good gains;
and to Noyes, who neatly and completely
spilled the one Adams player who seemed
to endanger Moran's run. In fact the
only disappointment of the game was that
there were not more cheerers. With so
fine team and such enthusiastic cheer
leaders, there should be more spirit
shown
On Friday of this week the eleven goes
to Deerfeld to play Deerfeld academy.
On the 18th they play the Keene team
here and hope for as sure a victory as
they won earlier in the season.
On Saturday, Nov %, they play for the
championship of the Connecticut River
valley with the Chicopee high school. 1t
is hoped later to announce the date for
an alumni game. for it is believed there
win be more interest than ever before in
| this contest
! At opening exercises last Thursday the
school enjoyed very much hearing the
school chorus sing two sacred selections
