Unexpectedly Goddard seminary faced
two basketball teams last evening. The
Colby boys were the only expected in
vaders but through -mix-up in the

al school quintet presented themselves
with the idea OF meeting the seconds OF

classed the V. s. AS. The latter team
possessed few good players but the
teamwork was poor. The doubleheader
game allowed the Aggies and the second
team the floor at $3.50 and the ball was
tossed up between Wood and Blades,
two well matched eenters, and both
PLAYED fast games. The ball was soon
tipped to Hinsdale of the Aggies, who
scored the first basket for the visitors.
The ball was soon fed to McPeake,
who tried time after time for baskets
from an open floor and finally Gagged
the ball for the first time for the de-
tenders of the red and white.
During the first period, Bishop shot
one foul and Blades two for " s. A.
and in the remainder of the period the
visitors played an entirely defensive
game, their passing beng blocked at
every point and the G. S. boys passing
over their heads.
At the end of the first half of the
preliminary game the Colby academy
bows rushed onto the floor and also the
liminary basket throwing and passing,
the whistle snapped out the signal for
the big game and the two teams started
their big fight. The ball was passed to
Gaughan in the first three minutes OF
the game and a pretty e-hand basket
was shot, while being covered by Col

practically perfect in their teamwork,
PLAYED away from the Goddard boys in
first-class shape. The Granite state
team played from the center Of the
floor in shooting their baskets and few
OF the tries were shot from nearer than
the middle of the floor. Their center
was a crack shot for the long ones,
which seemed to surprise the G. 3.

good chances for the basket but each
time falling a little short In the last
Of the first half Tug Slayton came
across and shot clean basket from
the center of the floor.
Though both teams played a very
hard game and worked for every min
ute, it could be called very clean
game; both teams kept smiling all
through the game At the end of the
first period the faint cheerers ceased
entirely, as the score stood IA to in
favor OF the visitors.
The Aggies and G. S. seconds were
now ready for the second half of their
battle, and Coach Leahey sent in sew
eral substitutes to give some Of the
minor players of his squad chance to
show up. The Randolph boys morale
seemed now to be very low and basket
after basket was piled up against the
visitors with little difficulty Blades,
at center, was sure of all shots at the
net when the seconds let up on him for
a few minutes and was quite sure Of all
fouls, throwing five times for fouls
and missing only one. Hinsdale made
two baskets in the second half. Miller,
playing in the first half, was fast
guard for the red and white. Sector,
who was sent into the game in the last
half, was poorly covered and conse-
quently tossed nine baskets. Wood
made some good plays from the open
floor, getting five baskets. shorty
Dobbs made hit playing all over in
the second half. The Aggies' fumbling
was noticeable throughout the game.
As soon as the agricultural boys had
been finished up in good shape, Vermont
and New Hampshire locked horns for
the last battle of the evening. With a
few new men. G. S. rushed onto the
floor in the best of spirits and fully in
spired to hard fight. The Colby boys
took few seconds in conference and
then launched a big offensive, which
was we'll guarded by the local players,
Steve Slayton holding (Which down to
no more baskets. The game ran on
for nearly 10 minutes before either
team could score. Sector and Miller,
who played against the Randolph boys,
were sent onto the court in the second
half and Sector scored the only basket
