The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1920-03-27

jump, and Gagged it for pretty shot.
Conner then got shot, after which
the ball travelled to the other side of
the hall where Woodsville go three
shots before Sweeney succeeded in
! getting it in. Then the ball trav-
eled all around the hall, both sides
getting shots at the basket, but the
game was being played so fast, that
the men hardly got hold of the ball
before someone was there to cover
him.
At this stage of the game, time had
to be called on account of Lanpher
having his wind knocked out while he
was mixed up in a scrimmage. When
play was resumed Clark got the ball,
and after one try, succeeded in caging
the ball. On the next play he got the
{ ball in the middle of the floor, and
shot one of the best baskets seen, the
ball going clean through without
touching the rim of the basket
Woodsville then got the ball, and af
ter a try by Taylor, Carlton got a
dandy from the side of the hall, he
shooting the ball over his head.
After Dumas had made try at the
basket, Fisk Gagged his first one, this
ending the period with the score ten
to seven, st. Johnsbury having got
four points inthis period on fouls,
while Woodsville got one the same
way. This period was played at top
speed, the lack Of more scoring being
due to the fact that both teams were
guarding close at all times, and that
nothing was getting away from Kill
loury.
The second period started with the
same rush, and many tries were made
by both teams before Dumas dropped
his first one in from the center of the
hall, the ball going to the blackboard.
Sweeney scored the next one when
he got the ball on a pass from Tay-
lor from the length of the hall. Con-
nor, not to be outdone, got one of his
; now famous long ones, the shot being
from practically the whole length of
the hall.
Again the ball travelled back and
forth the length Of the hall, and Tay
lor, seeming to have caught the long
shot fever, got one from half way the
hall. Dumas got his second one, he
getting the ball away from Sweeney,
near the Woodsville basket. Fisk, 70
be in the swim, shot one from the
center of the hall, the ball touching
| neither blackboard nor rim. Conner,
Fisk and aLnpher took the ball down
| the whole hall, and Connor shot the
basket, this being without doubt the
| best play of the evening. From then
on, the locals had the game sewed up,
although the Woodsville team played
hard game the rest of the time. This
play ended the second period with the
score u to IS.
In the last period which was of 10
minutes, the ball was in the St.
| Johnsbury boys hands most of the
time. Every man had try at the
basket, although they were guarded
closely. Fisk was the only man that
scored this period, he getting four.
His first one was a clean shot from
the side of the hall, and the other
three were on. passes from his team
mates, they realizing that he had his
eye with him this night.
In this period Woodsville played
their fastest, but there were outclasS-
ed all the way, although Sweeney on
couple of occasions had hard luck
with his shots, the ball both times,
rolling around the rim of the basket
Just few minutes before the end
of the third period, Ashton went in
to relieve Clark, who in a scrimmage
at the side of the hall, turned his
ankle, when he and Taylor both went
after the ball. Ashton although only
in the game short time, played his
usual steady game.
The best team won and it was
happy bunch that returned on the
train, it reaching the station just ut
IL o'clock.
