AROUND CAPITAL
CITY FIVE; 35 TO 10
Visitors Travelled fro N
Pennsylvania to Play
the Game.

After a ride from Susquehanna, Pa,
to Montpelier in "a hours, the Albany
N. ", professional basketball team de-
feated the Capital City Five in the
armory in Montpelier last evening by
a score of IS to lG. For the first two
periods ii was nice game and the
home bunch looked as though they
might force the visitors in the last Pc
Rod but there was nothing to it In the
last period, the Albany boys getting "a
points while the Montpelier team could
only secure Ave. Just before the last
period started, Dave Spicer, for the
home team, announced that the team
was ready TO meet any Barre team
anywhere, anyhow, winner to take all
money.
The visiting team did not arrive I'M
tII about $3.50 o'clock, having come
from Burlington in an automobile;
therefore they were not in shipshape
to start the game but it only took a
few seconds to show they were fast
ones, for Sedran soon threw basket
and then Montpelier settled down TO
play its usual game.
There was considerable passing done
bv the Montpelier team during the
early part Of the game but in the last
period there was lack Of it. The Wis
iting team received an ovation az 1t
came on the floor and was well sup
ported throughout the game by cheer
ing Of many spectators. Near the end
Of the second period Trask and Trip
retired and Francis Gross and Smith
took their places, and in the third pc
riod Gross retired and Kelley took his
place. while in the last part OF the
game Donnolly entered the game for
Montpelier. 1t looked good to see
Smith back in the game for he played
his usual fast guard game, while Trip
did not seem to be in form. Trask had
the Jump on his man at center but
after that he did not show up very
we'll. Duval getting away from him
nearly all Of the time and THROWING
two baskets on him in the first period
In the second period Trask called FOL
time because of coughing.
AT the end Of the first period the
game stood II TO o in favor Of the
visitors, while at the end of the sec
ond period the score was 81 TO III,
laird being able 10 throw single bas-
IT which was all the Montpelier boys
nd get in that period. The team
ork Of the visitors was a. nice rs hRs
sen seen in Montpelier in long time
nd in the last period when they had
III up large score they demonstrat-
4 their superiority to the home team
this art. On their feet they were
bout in the same class as Clark and
"a Gross. but they handled the ball
70 fast for the home team yet with
aeh GOODNESS that they knew where
was going all the time. The lineups;
