Miss Dukes Star in
Fast Newport Game

, their guard was not the best by an,
i means.
Miss ForTestinc Duke, very
comely young lady, was the individual
star of the Caledonia county outfit
and played rings around any othe
member of her own team as we'll as
the local "fivc." She was here, there
and everywhere and her shooting alb
ility was remarkable. Her basket eye
was nearly perfect and she rarely
missed putting the ball in the ring
once she managed to get it sailing
through the air. Credit is also due
.;her members of the outfit for they
II did fine work. a ~ ea III n
Miss Winsome Jones and Miss
Leota Cobleigh played a good game
for the local team, These two girls
together managed to gather in all OF
! the baskets. Miss Cobleigh was or
the job all of the time but she
could not seem to put the ball thru
! the basket on several different occas-
sions when she had some fine shots.
Miss Sallie Young was an exception
ally strong guard and watched her
position like cat watches a dog.
Miss Young played while she suf-
fered from an injury to her back re-
ceived in the game at st. Johnsbuly
I last Friday evening. Miss Elinor
/ Sheldon was kept out of the lineup
last night by sprained knee cap she
received in st. Johnsbury.
The boys game was fast, snappy
and rough from start to finish. 1t
was the best game the local boys
have played this year and it was IN
deed interesting to see them break
down the defense of the highly re-
puted Richford outfit and repeatedly
score baskets. The Newport team
struck tough propositions when they
signed up for the contest with Rich
ford but the boys demonstrated hat
they are made of fine calibre. They
PLAYED an aggressive game through
out and never once were they threat
ened by the opposition.
Referee Sam Hamilton called re-
heated fouls on the local high school
students but these fouls were never
intentional. On the side of Richford
the game was what might be called
a game of fouls. There were some
I'll. , Io1op callpH
"Slim" Hill, one of the stars OF the
high school team, started the scor-
ino for Newport by making pretty
shot through the basket after the pail
had been relayed to him by Savage
and followed this up a minute later
with another perfect basket from ~
side. Skinner then helped the score
along with another perfect shot
and from then on Newport was never
in danger. These two men We're the
heroes of the contest for the home
bovs although they were ably support
ed Socket played hard steady
game but didn't have much OF an OPP
no,tu1itv to show his ability in shoot
ing.
