team in st. Johnsbury Tuesday eve
ming, the ST. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN
/ says:
The youthful basketball team from
/ Goddard seminary competed on fairly
even terms with the fast combination
American Legion and Co. d quintet
during the initial period at the armory
Tuesday evening, only to be outcassed
and outgeneraled completely during
| the remaining two periods. BY dint Of
great physical exertion the stalwart
lads from Goddard, playing their first
game of the season, managed to break
through the stiff defense of Coach
Burch's men in, the opening period on
a few occasions. With their wind and
energy spent the Goddard athletes,
outpassed during the last two periods
were forced to accept defeat, 50 to II.
Ranged alongside of men with vast
" more basketball experience, the Wis
itors managed to hold the contest fair
~ well in hand for the opening min
ntes Of the fracas. Then they seemed
to forget their signals, and obviously
good coaching, and resortcd to mere in
dividual frantic dashes down the floor,
whenever Goddard man was fortu
nate enough to retrieve the sphere.
Fritz Marshall was the high point
man at the armory Tuesday evening
with total of ten baskets. Coach
Burch, who was seen at forward, hav
ing changed positions with Marshall,
was runnerup with seven baskets.
Whitley Dumas played the best game
that he has shown this year, with q
fine total Of six goals from the floor.
If whitley" continues to display form
as on Tuesday evening he is bound to
round out highly successful season.
Fisk and Common played their usually
creditable contests.
The last ten minutes of play Foye,
Goslant and Farnham were given o
chance to display their wares. In Foye, |
Coach Burch has a capable understudy, |
who ought to be able to enter con-
test any time TO relieve one of the reg |
ulars, with no .appreciable loss OF
Woodland. the husky visiting right |
forward, appeared TO be the only con-
tinually shining luminary that the
Goddard players boosted. Once or twice |
he dashed all the way down the floor /
through the bristling defense of the To-
Gals and dropped the ball through the
rim. Cyran, at left guard, occasionally
displayed praiseworthy flashes Of form.
However, Coach Aldrich Of Goddard |
has a strong nucleus in Woodland and
1yran and no doubt viii develop fast
team before the end OF the season.
