Barton Academy vs.. Orleans High

The first basket ball game between
Barton academy and Orleans High
without that great feeling of enmity
was played at Orleans Thursday even
ing, January Ii.
Because Of the typhoid fever in
Derby, the Derby academy girls were
unable to come so the game took
place only between the boys.
Handy, left forward for the o. H.
S., started the game by getting the
first basket. = Valley, center for B. A.,
by McMullen, center for o. H. S.
A foul was called on Barton which
Albert Twombly shot and made. Car
ter, left forward for B. A., secured
the next two baskets.
Comstock, right forward for Barton,
made the next, followed by two more
from McMullen.
CLYDE Twombly, right guard for
Orleans, made long shot which went
through. Another foul was called on
Barton but the ball did not find it's
way into the basket until Cornish,
right guard for Barton, dropped
through two. Clyde Twombly made
another basket, then foul was call
en- on Orleans, which Carter shot sue
cessfully.
Hardy and WeQge, r1gnC FORWARD
for the o. H. S., both dropped the
bali through again before a second
foul was called on Orleans, which Car
ter made good: Hardy and McMullen
each made another basket and Smith,
left guard for Barton, ended the first
neriod with another basket.
The score now stood 21-16 in favor
of the Orleans High.
After a few minutes rest the boys
again took the floor. With Barton in
fine shape Comstock started this per-
iod bv making a basket from the OPP
nosite end Of the hall. McMullen
AGAIN found room for two more after
which a double foul was called but
neither side made use of it. Carter
made another fancy shot followed by
Cornish.
Albert Twombly received the ball
after some clever passing by Orleans
and dropped it through for basket.
Carter -Comstock followed 10y
Cornish each made one more, putting
Barton one point ahead of Orleans,
Both teams did some very nice
passing and Barton did some very
hard work to win the game.
Only three fouls were called on
each team, not very bad for an Or
leans and Barton game. A profess
sional player Of st. Johnsbury acted
as referee for the game and did it
Very squarely. The New Harmony
orchestra furnished music after the
game and all enjoyed fine time dane
ing. -,
at Barton on February 10th. We
hope for a game equally as good. The
Lineup and baskets for the teams
were as follows:N -

Accommodating Lightning.

Sometimes lightning performs rather
comical freaks. 1t has been recorded
that a certain mansion in Wales had
been struck by lightning, which saved

All of them were able to sit up, eat and talk.
 The remaining 4S departed by train for Bridgeport before noon.
 The three men in the hospital said the S4S went down about five miles off shore. For almost four hours everyone remained inside the sub marine Fearing the bow would set tie, leaving the craft flat on the bot tom they shifted everything movable from the forward end to the stern. The water entered only the two aft compartments.
 Dunne was the first to crawl out of the torpedo tube, which was four feet above water. From there he reached the deck, and plunged into the cold water and swam to the anchor chain. Grabbing that, he pulled himself to the deck, and dropped a line by which the others pulled themselves on deck. Dunne later went below to put on dry clothes. Exposure in the cold water Increased his sufferingS.
