fists, brought home the first basketball
victory of the season last Tuesday
night from North Montpelier quintet
Although team not playing in the
name Of the school, as that team has
not been organized, the Jolly Five took
the first victory in the name of God

the team. The game was hotly con.
tested throughout the score being tied
at the end of the first half and il looked
at the end of the first half as though
the Barre boys would lose the game
but the fact that they used Keller and
Colby in the last half was decisive
factor for the team. The Five were w
against old Goddard material and found
il no little job to bring home victory
of 81 to 81 Colby and Slayton starred
for the Barre boys, as did Guernsey fol
