Brattleboro Athletics Lose to Winches-
ter "a to 27-Long Shot by Cakes
Brilliant Feature.

The Brattleboro Athletics, less the
services of Sawin and R. Whitney, jour
neyed to Winchester by sleigh last
evening and despite the fact that
amateur rules were pushed on to
them made splendid showing, but
were unable to overcome the refer
ee's whistle, which constantly blew
in the home teams favor. The score
was "a to 81. 1t was humorous to note
how well the official obeyed the orders
of the Winchester players to call fouls.
For several minutes there was no seor-
ing in the first period Cramer sneaked
down the court for the first counter and
the New Hampshire crowd raised a
mighty cheer through their megaphones.
F. Dunlevy Immediately cooled the en-
thusiasm with double decker Brat
tleboro fouled Farrell dumped one in.
Brattleboro fouled. Cramer scored again
and Cakes rung up his first hoop. Six
more free tries netted the Winchester
club as many points in this period and
with another two point hoop by Cramer
and two by Rau, while Cakes and F. Dun
| levy were getting two each and free try
thrown in brought the score at the close
of the session up 20 to IL in favor of
| the Winchester team.
In the second period the Vermonters
overcame their opponents lead right at
the start of the period and Immediately
| the referee was directed to call fouls.
Fortunately Rau lost his eagle eye in
this period or the fouls would have
swamped the Brattleboro club. Mr.. Will
son, the premier center of the Granite
Staters, was quite upset because he could
not score and several fouls were called
because B. Dunlevy omitted to excuse
himself when coming in contact with the
| Winchester star.
Rau and Farrell did all the scoring for
Winchester in the last session, while f.
Dunlevy and 'Jaker" Cakes each dumped
two, and B. Dunlevy and G. Johnson each
scored once. These with two free tries
netted the Athletics their u points. The
last double decker scored by Cakes was
something that the New Hampshire fans
will have as a memory. Taking the tap
from the center, "Jaker" barely turned
his head, gave an underhand toss from
the middle of the court with Whitteker
on his back and scored one of the pretti-
est goals of the game. All during the
game Whitteker followed. Cakes like a
hound, yet "Jaker" pushed five counters
over on him for total of 10 points. f.
Johnson was injured in this period, and
it looked as though Gustafson would have
to perform for the Nermonters, but Ernie
did comeback and finished the game
His work throughout the tilt was Al
), style and his following the ball gave
the opponents something to think about
Cramer and Farrell were the stars fol
the Winchester team, while Cakes and Z
johnson and F. Dunlevy did the work fol
Brattleboro.
Between the periods the Senior anC
. Junior girls teams of Winchester towr
came together, the seniors winning foul
to two
1t is hoped that as soon as Festival hal
! Is obtainable the Winchester team vii
perform in Brattleboro. As amateur
rules will have to govern this game th'
fans will have an opportunity to SEE
something new: The score:
