Seminary Team Puts Up Good
Game, Though Defeated.
The Burr and Burton Seminary
basket ball team met its first defeat
of the season last Friday night at the
hands of the fast Middlebury College
second team. A very large crowd
turned out to support the local team
and to see a good exhibition Of basket
ball The Middlebury team greatly
outweighed the Seminary team, which
counted heavily in its favor in the
second half. The "Midd" team had in
its lineup "keck" Parker and Guy
Christian, the former star foot ball
player and the latter the star guard
on the 1918 varsity team, and easily
the fastest guard in Middlebury Col
lege today. He has not played with
the first team for two weeks due to
an injured hand But these boys were
very much surprised in the first half
of the game by the fast work Of the
Burr and Burton boys and the crowd
were more than pleased with their
showing against their older and much
more experienced opponents. The first
half ended q to Is in Middleburys
favor. Rich and Hurley proved to be
very slippery to handle and the whole
team went after the visitors with the
same fight that they have shown all
the fall. The effect on the Seminary
boys of their fight against big odds
was shown in the last half when the
Middlebury men scored easily.
Manchester people may well be
proud of the result of the game and
the Seminary boys have no reason to
be down hearted at their defeat. TO
score rs points against such team is
a fine piece of work. The Middlebury
men were much impressed with the
work of the Burr and Burton team and
are aware that they will have to play
even better basket ball to beat the
local team in Middlebury January II,
when they will play 12-minute halves
instead of Commute.
Ginsburg, Parker and Christian
played exceptionally well for Middle
bury, while it may be said that all the
"Sem" boys put up fine game.
The lineup was as follows:
Burr and Burton-Rich RI, Hurley
If, Brewster c, Davis re-, Marsden lg.
2nd-Parker lg, Christian
rg, Franklin c, Whitmore If, Ginsburg
IF.
Goals from floor: Ginsburg II,
