tainly got bargain for their money, for
not only did the games come off that
were scheduled, but two more were
added for good measure, making four
games for the evening.
The first was the preliminary game or
iginally scheduled between the Bows
Brigade of Northfield, and a team repre-.
sentlng the Baptist Sunday school. in
which the latter put it on to visitors
by score of II to l. The Northfeld
boys arrived here with enough OF a team

The next on the program was a game
not scheduled; between the Cadets sec
ond team and the second team of the
st. Charles A. a. of Bellows Falls. and
as usual the Cadets came through with
the bacon although they had a tougher
proposition than they have had any time
before this season. The final score in
this contest was IA TO
Then came the feature contest of the
evening between the Athletics and
Claremont, with the Athletics the big
and only feature, for although the lads
from Claremont may have had a good
team they were not in class with the
locals, who played them to a standstill
ana then some. 1T Is hard to believe
that any team could improve so much as
have the Athletics since their last ap-
peaTance on the home court. Gone was

pretty an exhibition of teamwork as

was decidedly one sided it does not give
tle absent fan an inkling of Just how
interesting the game really was. for
Brattleboro played whirlw'~,1 ball and
kept the spectators on edge with their
fast, sensational work. Very few long
shots were tried, the boys playing the
game as it really should be played
working the ball down to the basket,
feeding it up to their teammates for
short sure shots. 1t has been a long
time since BrattlebOrO has been repre-
scented by such n clever and speedy crew.

home with them from Marlboro must

Brattleboro started in with the speed
stuff at the first call of the referees

a look-in the first period, and it's a

got nine double deekers, Ramsey

session, along with three free tries from
fouls, while the visitors were lucky to
connect with two ringers. making the

In the second frame the locals re-
