Brattleboro high met defeat at the
hands of the strong Deerfeld team Sat
urday afternoon, the score being Al to IT,
In the last half Brattleboro guarded the
Deerfeld team better, with the result
that Deerfield did not score as heavily
as she did in the first half. The Deerfeld
team was much taller and more expe-
rienced than the Brattleboro team. Many
Brattleboro people have expressed the
wish to see the Deerfield team in a league
OF her own class. She is far too good to
be playing with the teams which now
make up the Franklin County league.
Many of the Deerfield men are three or
four years older than any fellows now
playing on the other league teams. Brat
tleboro is not offering this as an excuse
but as suggestion by which the league
would be benefited and competition more
evenly divided.
There will be two more basket ball
games this year, one to be PLAYED at
Orange next Wednesday and the other
with keene on the home floor Friday. IT
is expected that Orange will put up stiff
battle, as they were defeated by only
one point when here. Keene has a fast
team. There is every reason to expect
one of the most interesting games of the
season at the Armory next Friday eve.
