WINDSOR PUT Up
PUZZLING GAME
Defeated Montpelier Le-
gion on Latter's
Floor
SCORE q TO 10
IN ROUGH GAME
Visitors Dribbled the Rail
Well, Playing Under the
Professional Rules

Individual dribbling of the ball by
the players ON the Windsor basketball
team last evening in the armory IN
Montpelier was the cause of the undo
ing of the Montpelier American Legion
team for the first time this year on its
own floor and the score at the end of
the third period was q to TO- The
Windsor team is fast aggregation
but the game was as slowly played
one as has been seen on the local floor
in a long time, due to the fact that
the visiting team, when they got the
ball. would dribble without apparently
any intention to advance it towards
the basket.
The Montpelier team tried to hold
its regular formation OF playing, with
the result that after the visiting team
was able to pile up score against the
Montpelierites, they dribbled most OF
the time.
When Montpelier did get the ball it
did not seem to be fast enough to keep
it moving long enough to land baskets.
II was rough game and many fouls
were called. Professional rules were
used, which was a disadvantage to the
Montpelier team, for the men were
trained under amateur rules
During the first and last periods
Montpelier did quite bit OF passing
but this did not get them scores. They
made their best showing in the second
period, Bartlett breaking away from
his man enough to get six points.
The visiting team did some long
passing Their style of playing entire
" outguessed the Montpelier players,
who did not meet it.
The score at the end of the first Pc
riod was q to 2 in favor of Windsor
at the end OF the second l6 to in
their favor and at the end of the game
81 to 0.
