Company ID Loses Game
By One Basket
Continued from page one)

Hanover boys received great sur
prise. They not only were "therc'
! but even faster than their a1versa-
ries. The breaks" of the game in
valiably went against the home out
fit and this in / large measure &C
counted for their defeat
There was one particular feature of
the game that pleased the crowd and
that was the work of Alcide Demers,
the former F. c. "A. star, who sud
| denly has been transformed from
the inks of the "has beens" into the
position Of a present day artist. A
stranger, with plenty Of knowledge
of the game, would never be able to
detect the fact that he was man
looming back. He would be quick
ly picked as / genuine star. Demcr3
performed stunts last night that
would make the best men in the
game here today sit up and take no.
| tiCe. Despite the fact that he is z
veteran of the court, his passes, made
from all conceivable positions, were
far TO fast for his team mates, on
many occasions.
Company d was up aaginst the
| toughest proposition of the season
and the boys did not fail. They were
game to the core and carried through
an offensive that startled the visitors.
Where in the first period they made
the inevitable mistake Of punching O.
gether and consequently allowing
scores that ordinarily should never
have been tailed, they changed their
tactics during the next two sessions
and spread out. In this way the boys
accomplished big things in the face
Of stiff defense.
On the whole the game was clean
but it was noticeable that in the clos
ing frame Nolan and O'Bricn became
unnecessarily rough several times.
The former in particular eXcrted his
superior strength on smaller men,
Marshall and Foye, when there was
no occasion for it. Up until this pc
Rod Nolan had played a manly game
and the change in this disposition Wa
difficult to understand
O'Blien was continually cndeayOr-
ing to pick fuss with Lanpher, but
the latter paid little heed to him.
It was evident he was peeved because
the tall center was too often in his
path. This nettled him to considerable
extent In the last frame Nolan be
came 50 troublesome that Demcrs
squared Off to him. The former, how
ever, at this time, showed no great
cagencss TO mix it. A double foul
was called and the ATTAIN ended as
soon as If began
Dcmas scored the first basket for
the locals after Foye had barely miss
ed an overland throw. Several shots
We're missed by the guardsmen in the
early moments, Foye and Marshall
pulled off 4 clever piece Of strategy
which resulted in d basket, made BIZ
Foye Foye followed this up with !
another after Demers had failed in /
an attempt to put the sphere into tn
meShes. With the score to 0 aGlin,
the visitors the outlook became sud
denly bright for Company d. Bu' /
the Hanover bows soon shook the dust /
off and started into pile u scores. /
The period closed with the tally 1G 10

The second period ended Is to IS
against the locals
St. JohnsbuIy's baskets were all /
made by Foye, Marshall and Demer-,
each Of this trio making some beau !
ties. Marshall mace several very /
clever shots, from the side and cen
ter GoSlant's work at guard was verT |
creditlble. He las never shown to i
better advantage on the local floor.
He was unusually fast and his az
grcssivcness served to break up nu- |
mcrous plays DemerS proved a good |
running mate for him and bctweonf
the two they kept the visiting for

slow in getting into the fray but
once he was started he took IN ac-
tive part IN the defense Is well a.

Martin played a good game ! for
Hanover as did Jackson, the c!lc}
center. Martin scored six baskets and
Jackson ), the latter exhibited more
pep than did any of his mates NJ
Ian played a good guard game.
There were no injuries during the
game Foye and Martin being tom
porarily knocked out in the second
period. Both We're able to resume,
however. The former was injured in [
the head while the latter got hit in /
the stomach.
The lineup was as follows:
