High School Basketball Team Defeated
Burlington, "a to Fl,
Montpelier high school basketball team
defeated the Burlington high school team
on the armory floor in Montpelier Friday
evening by a score of "A to 81 in prob
ably one of the best games that the two
teams have played in some years. There
was lack of the fighting that generally
takes place when the two teams meet.
The Burlington team was handicapped
by the large floor and, following the
game, did not seem at all down-hearted
over It's defeat. Both teams did good
deal of passing, but the Montpelier play
ers fumbled the ball quite little. The
Montpelier backfeld did not play in its
usual form, so that their opponents were
able to land more scores than usual
Smith was the star for Montpelier and
Harrington for the Burlington team
