COMPANY D
BEATSLITTLETON
in FAST GAME
Three Hundred See Home
Team Play and Win BY
Score of p to IL

Three hundred people cheered
themselves hoarse at the basketball
game at the st. Johnsbury Armovy
last night when Company D of the
Vermont National Guard defeated the
champion Catholic Order of Forest
ers team from Littleton by q score
of 27 to II. 1t was the fastest game
of basketball that St. Johnsbury has
seen N many a day and the support
ers of the home team were startled
at the speed of their own aggrega
ton.
Company d won by their efficiency
in the passing game. They have
worked this TO a marvel of efficiency
and although the Littleton boys were
their equals in every other depart
mcnt of the game the speed and ac-
curacy of the passing game gave the
home boys the victory.
When "Bill" Greenwood blew the
whistle the game started With a zip
that fairly amazed the spectators.
The first five minutes of play made
one think of descriptions of Chateau
Thierly. The boys were all over the
hall, on top of the ball, underneath
it and everywhere else, and the scrim-
maging was about as lively as two
Tom cats on back yard fence. And
the crowd just howled with delight.
If the boys had kept this pace
throughout the game they would have
been subjects for the Morgue.
Each side scored two baskets in
the first FIVE minutes and then the
the scientific game Of the home boys
gradually came TO the front and the
game become more open with the
ball bein gpasscd from player to
player and more shooting for baskets.
The second half resulted in Ashton
getting a severely sprained ankle and
a cut over his eye and O'Keefe of
Littleton was laid out for several
minutes BY a blow in the stomach.
Emery was the individual star Of
the home team. He played with ex-
celent judgment, was always at the
right place at the right time and
showed fine skill in shooting baskets
Morrison shot some beautiful baskets
from near the center Of the floor and
Ashton played his usual strong game.
Etrong and O'keefe were the stars
Of the visiting outfit
St. Johnsbury can we'll be proud Of
its team and there can be no doubt
but that it will receive fine fnacial
support after last nights game. The
boys go to Newport tonight to play
the strong Company L team of that
city.
Dancing followed the game and
over 80 couple senjoyed a social time
until midnight.
