| The Company ] basketball team Of
Montpelier defeated the Goddard semi
nary team Friday evening in the ar
mory in Montpelier, bya score of 80 to IL.
Although the score would not so indi-
cate, yet from the spectators point of
| view it was fine game to watch, per
haps at times little rough, but on the
whole a very interesting match. Clark
40 ~ -,
scholastic basketball for throwing the
largest number of baskets in a single
game, was in his usual form and sup
ported by Gross, another of the old NJ
II. S. team, they played a strong game
The guards kept their men well covered
which gave Clark and Gross opportunity
for many free baskets. There were sew
eral fouls thrown, and many of them
were made because of the fast work ON
the floor. The visiting team was handi-
capped good deal by the size of the
floor, it being considerably larger than
they usually play upon. Mari played a
fast game, and the whole Goddard team
worked well. The lineup of the teams
was; ntpelier-Forwards Clark and
Gross; center, Jangraw; guards, Pape
and Donnolly. Hatch played center for a
short time in the second period. God
dard-Forwards MARI and Slayton; cen
ter, Samuelson; guards, Hoar and Hol-
comb Referee-Hollister Scorer-Milo.
