Barres big center, Ralph oliver, i
was disastrous. Oliver in the last pc
Rod badly sprsined his right ankle
when after making jump he wrenchet
his foot, and had to be carried from
the court.
The sprain was of a serious ma
ture, and caused the foot to swell
so suddenly that it was difficult tol
other players to remove his shoe and
sock. A physician was summoned and
oliver was ordered removed to the
City hospital so that a thorough ex,
animation might be made. He was
taken to his home Yesterday.
As pivot, he got the Jump nearly
every time on his adversary, and not
infrequently made good use Of his
great height and reach in blocking
passes, breaking up plays, or recover,
ing the ball near the opponents bas-
ket after an attempt to score had been
made. He was considered the most
valuable man on the team and TO
learn that he would probably be out OF
the game for the rest of the season
was disappointing to his teammates.
The game was fast with plenty of
action on both sides. Barre posts tail

as he was about to shoot, and played
strong game in that position Bjorn,
his guard mate. also sustained an in
jury to his right side, which will
probably keep him from the game for
a couple of weeks.
Mike Cerasoli, the little fighting Ital
ian, who scored many a Hun with
machine gun, was the big little scorer
for the local Legion team. He made
IL of the "a points. At times it
seemed as if Mike was playing the
whole st. Adams team as he chose to
dash down the floor with the ball in
preference to passing to the other fast
forward, Haskell
The first period ended with Barre
Legion in the lead, II to A. During
the interval of the first and second pc
Rod, Roy Curtis, better known as
Chocolate" and Guido Calsi enter

sparring bout
In the second period, Neil Hooker,
captain of Spaulding's 1916 basket
ball team, took thep lace of Biorn
at left guard, In this period as dur
ing the entire game, St Adams insisted
on shooting for the basket from a long
distance, and time and time again lost
the ball after it had hit the blackboard
forcefully and bounced back to the
floor or the hands of a Barre man.
The period ended with Barre in the
lead again, Is to IL.
Like Barre post the st. Adams team
made several substitutes during the
yame, especially in the last period. Eli
her the substitutes of the visitors
strengthened the team or those of the
ocal Legion weakened theirs, for ST.
Adams barely missed tying the score
n the last minute of plav, when
dil was missed by Godfrey. The
trength of st. Adams was chiefly in
spencer, the right forward, Neiburg,
enter, and Manahan. right guard.
Had the st. Adams manager brought
long an accurate foul shooter. Barre
