The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-03-06

part show put on at the ArmOfy laSI
night with the Triangles of keene, the
final count being % to. - In favor of
B. II. s.
1t was by far the best and fastest
game seen on the home floor this season
and the outcome was very pleasant
surprise to the local followers of high
school basketball as the visitors de-
feated the local team at Keene earlier
in the season by a large score. The
high school team staged the best team
work they have shown this season
which accounts in a large measure for
the successful outcome.
Capt Austin playing his last game
for B. II. S. was a whirlwind and gath
cred II of his team IS % points, getting
five goals from the floor and seven
points on fouls. The visitors technical
game was what trimmed them and it
was evident from their play that the
referee they have been playing under
has not kept them down in this branch
of the game as they were continually
running with the ball and dribbling IL
legally The nine points gathered by
+. II. S. over this route proved keene s
undoing.
Their team work, however, was a
treat to see and much credit should be
given the local boys for breaking up
the visitors game, particularly in the
! second period when they held Keene
to one lone goal from the floor.
Richardson was especially proficient
in this respect Playing the fast Sib-
| ley and keeping him to no count proved
a real job but Richardson came
| through and another year should prove
a big asset to the B. II. S. team. Man
| ming, who took Gorborino s place in the
first half, played clever guard game
holding his man to one basket. Well:
and Lynch also played well and while
neither broke into the scoring Yer!
heavily it was their part in the team
work that made the win possible.
Sblev of the visitors was a cyclone
his floor work was the fastest seen Oh
the home court this season.
At the start of the game it locke,
as if Brattleboro was in for trimming
as Keene was off at the whistle an
Gagged the ball twice in rapid success
sion. Austin came in for a doubl
counter and the fans had hopes bu
were given a rude jolt when Mise
dropped in three from the floor TO
lowed by Griffin's ringer. Sandwich
in between these double counters Aus
tin and Richardson gathered eigh
points on fouls. These with Mugford
four brought the count 16 to 10 in fl
vor of Keene when the whistle calle
the half.
The cheering section then took up IL
burden and for 10 minutes made II
hall ring with cheers and song. The
cheers of encouragement in the I'M
minutes of play put pep into the tea
and made them fight to the finish.
The high school came back strong
the second period and from the call {
| time played as they had never playt
| before. Austin got one to start ar
| then Richardson made a pretty sh'
| good for two points. Austin aga
| made a ringer, Wells pushed one ov
| the top and then Nilsen dropped
| Keene 3 only double counter of the Sc
| ond period
| Early in the period Austin HI
| picked up one point over the foul rou
| and as Nilsen made his double count
| the score stood 10 to IS in favor
B. II. S. With but a short time
play excitement ran high and bubbl
over when Austin cracked the safe I
two count. Mugford got one poi
on foul and the score was 81 to
Austin then got loose for anoth
| double counter which proved to be t
| last of the game, making the final sec
% to 10.
| Next year it is hoped that me
suitable hall for this sport may be c
tanned. In fact, something must
done to secure one as the present h
viii not be available another seas
Low ceilings and small floor space
not improve the game. Why not
thinking this over now in preparati
for the future rather than to wait |
til time for the season to open?
